Akin to the kingdom of Westeros IMT is the B-school I chose Each committee, a kingdom in its own right Aspiring to be the best, however, without spite Though in sync with the Westerlands is the MRRC The sun never sets along the coast of this Sunset sea Encompassing within it the Lannisport The committee is rich in metaphoric silver and gold Working to get the students placed are the Greyjoys, home to IMT’s warrior race Developing alliances with the world abroad Are the IRC Tyrells, minus their swords Keeping in touch with those who leave to brave the odds are our Northern Starks in the Alcom squad Looking after the largest clan Is the Students and Welfare Committee of the Stormlands But since it’s a utopic vision to which our allegiance is sworn There is no concept of the Iron Throne Striving to enhance brand IMT Each kingdom believes in mutual prosperity Beyond IMT’s campus wall The infamous city of wildings stands tall Within the campus, each day a challenge Fighting to achieve the work-life balance Diverse backgrounds, diverse states No stereotypes hold good in this cosmopolitan space A warrior, a bastard, a royalist or dwarf Either might be the smartest of the lot Where no generalization, no pre-conceived notions operate No caste, no religion, no region, no state But all a part of one big, happy family Scaling up IMT to achieve the zenith of glory
‘They say the throes of IMT-Ghaziabad lies in studying under him but they also say if you don’t study under him in IMT-Ghaziabad, you haven’t studied at all.’
“When nothing is certain, everything is possible” – my batch mate at IIM Sirmaur quoted Margaret Drabble when I asked him, how is he so sure of joining IIM Sirmaur? I was very apprehensive about joining a year old IIM. In the beginning everyone had similar doubts, after all there was not much on which we could gauge the excellence of the institute. However, this mindset changed when I started interacting with the seniors and my peers. When you are surrounded by people who are confident enough to start a legacy which will echo for numerous years to come, you know you’re at the right place.
“Look! The WHOMPING WILLOW!”- she yelled, delightfully!
Decisions make our lives take many unheralded twists in the future. We make tons of quick decisions unconsciously, others we hem and hover in agony. After eons of work put together, we make the grade but that just marks the beginning of a tumult of getting into a top business school. It is the basic habitude to deal with mental agony before we weigh the probable options of choosing our B-School – for it is as difficult as belling the CAT! But what we must realize is that it is time for us to take a well pondered decision which can steer us towards our destiny. Our lives thus far have been roller coaster rides through highs and lows. Yet, we enter into another Hel(L) of a ride, where we are expected to surpass one hurdle after another, with a diminishing finish line.

All case study competitions are created equal, or so goes the saying. But some do stand out in their content and manner of being conducted. PRoelio is just such a challenge. A brainchild of SIBM’s PR Team, this competition places the limelight on the growing relevance of public relation skills in an MBA course. Whether by a PR agency for its clients, or as a company’s in-house extended function of marketing, or even as a firefighting measure after a crisis, public relations has now become part of the modern manager’s skill-set.
