Having multiple new IIMs calls, researching on every one of them, writing down pros & cons, discussing with family and friends. Choosing a college is a long process for sure. And I chose IIM Raipur over all the other new IIMs call I had. But that feeling when you finally face it becoming reality is amazing.
The most unique thing I would say about my campus is the doors of opportunities it offers to all students. These opportunities I believe are different from what most Colleges offer. The Campus constitutes a combination of cultures, ethnicities, and various other subcultures. I found the academic atmosphere most inviting. The Institute is embodied by the students every day is Integrity, Scholarship, Community, Creativity, and Excellence. These core values influence our daily decisions and allow us to enrich our campus. the student organizations further maximize the opportunity to expand social connections, encourage leadership, and make a difference in students’ lives. The classroom buildings, dorms, student facilities and the Basketball Court are all within walking distance.
We, at IIM Raipur, are currently staying at a temporary campus in Sejbahar, Raipur. The campus is unique in its own way. We share our campus with IIT Bhilai and also the Government Engineering College, Raipur.
A good college not only paves the way for a great career ahead but also helps shape a person’s character. And when it comes to choosing a B school, its a whole different level. In the age of Analytics and Big Data, while it should have been easier to narrow down the final choice, it is actually opposite now! The task of choosing a B school has become even more difficult today because there is no standard parameter or universally acceptable criteria. So what made me select Indian Institute of Management - Raipur over the B schools that I had the option to get in?
Almost a month ago I made the best decision of my life. A decision that has challenged me and enabled me to get a better version of myself and transform me into a stronger and a more confident individual. I decided to pursue my Masters in Business Administration at the IIM Raipur. I was astounded by the speed at which the entire class caught up on the basics of management and the quality of teaching for the core modules. It seems impossible that I have experienced so much and made so many friendships so quickly, but it’s true. This is a common phenomenon in IIM Raipur, as anyone who has spent time here can attest.
My campus is on the out skirts of Raipur. It was established in 2010, 10 years after Chhattisgarh state was formed from Madhya Pradesh. Our college is a single building, sharing the grounds with two other colleges Government Engineering college and IIT Bhilai. It has been 8 years since its foundation and new campus is almost ready to move in. Like every other IIM College, my college also have all the student driven activities.
