Life at a B-school is waking up every morning the way a lion does only to realize that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running. And it is a rather long run, two years to be exact.
With a focus on social sensitivity and maintaining a balance between 'value for values' while consciously moving towards achieving your ambitions, SPJIMR has often done things differently. The Development of Corporate Citizenship in one such endeavor in that direction. Every year, instead of summer internships, the entire batch of two hundred odd students undertakes a 6 week mandatory rural stint across the country. The stint includes a stay with the designated NGOs in the villages and working on a project which involves solving the very real and gritty problems that rural India grapples with.
For a student to truly make the most of their two years in an MBA course, just working hard towards your academics is far from enough.While colleges can often put such a workload on students that they are never able to test themselves in the outside world, luckily at Indian Institute of Management, Indore’s UAE Campus has such a specifically well designed course outline that students have more than enough time for several extra-curricular activities.
Prom Night in a B-school can sound gorgeous. That too after a rather frustrating mid-term paper on the V-day evening… life doesn’t seem to be that much “give up”.
The festival of colours saw students from various parts of the country come together and celebrate Holi in a style most unique where everyone from students to faculty members became one with red, green and blue, covering the red bricks with hues and happiness.
Rigour and Fun—all in one MBA
