Our First Class - IIM Raipur
It was 9:30:00 when he entered the classroom. The first thing that he did was lock the door behind him, giving us our first and possibly the most important lesson – punctuality. Nobody was allowed inside the class after 9:30:00. It was clear. Citing shlokas from the Bhagwat Geeta, Professor P.R.S. Sharma introduced himself in the most uncanny fashion imaginable. A bit surprised at this, but still very excited, the 60 odd students greeted their guru as he cut the red ribbons to their 2-year journey at the Indian Institute Of Management, Raipur.

Why And How I Chose My Campus - IIM Raipur
I was happy and on cloud 9, getting calls from multiple new IIMs, however, this is was where it all started! It was just the beginning of a whole new era. Gathering information, insights of the IIM’s about their culture, working mechanism, events held, student exchange programs and obviously campus life was needed. After writing down all the pros and cons, I finally chose IIM Raipur.

IIM Raipur - Home Away From Home
All throughout my engineering at VJTI, I had always dreamt of attending MBA at an IIM. In May 2018, I had calls from all "new IIMs" (as they are fondly called) and other B schools; I decided to join IIM Raipur. There were only two reasons initially to join IIM Raipur - The first being placements. In terms of campus placements, IIM Raipur has gradually grown and is at par with other new IIMs, with many reputed names visiting campus for summer internships and final placements. Another reason was the Best Student Exchange Program amongst its peers. IIM Raipur is in partnership with 18 Premier business schools across the world for its student exchange program and has sent more than 50 outgoing students in an academic year.

What Makes My Campus Unique? - IIM Raipur
Sejbahar, Raipur! A relatively small village and a place, where farming is the sole breadwinner for many, also houses one of the most prestigious management institutes in the country. The Indian Institute of Management, Raipur with it great pool of faculties, infrastructure, culture and talents sets itself apart. However, with many B-schools in the country, one cannot do anything but wonder - what makes this campus unique?

Learnings Inside And Out Of The Class Of IIM Indore
Joining an IIM brings a lot of excitement since it is one of the top B-schools of India. However, IIMs also bring hectic schedules with numbers of lectures and crazy life with tons of assignments and projects. But it also brought a whole new learning technique for me that I haven’t witnessed but the only herd which is “the pedagogy of case study”, a process in which you learn with past experiences of others and apply your theories and principles on that situation and act like a key decision maker.

IIM Indore - Re-Conceptualising Diversity
Many campuses boast diversity in the traditional categorizations of gender, academic degree, years slaved away as Dilberts *cough* worked etc. I have a contrarian view. The day we arrive at b-school, we are constantly reminded of the power of networking. I was sceptical about this as networking somehow felt like a dirty deed since there was something transactional about the whole idea. To ease my cognitive dissonance (OB does come in handy) I reframed the act as meeting new people and ‘getting out of my comfort zone’(typical self-help cringy cliché).

Intellectually Simulating Lectures At IIM Indore
Many people dismiss Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management as not necessarily important courses in the purview of their entire MBA education. It is pushed aside as a course important only to those who wish to pursue HR as a specialization, and as a compulsory course meant to be gotten through with minimum effort for those in other specializations. However, one experience during an HRM lecture at my college has managed to stay with me until now and reminds me from time to time that there is more to a business than just profit making.
