One Lecture At IIM Indore Which I Won't Ever Forget
Well, every day at b-school has been new and exciting, with each lecture superseding the previous one and widening my perspective of management more as art than science. One such experience would be a lecture of Organizational Behavior where the professor walked in with a concrete plan to navigate the classroom in a certain way. He randomly assigned roles to a few students and invited them to the centre of the classroom to enact the case. For background, the case revolved around an ethical dilemma faced by a toy manufacturing company, where two infant deaths had been reported on contact with a particular toy product. The entire class was engrossed in the proceedings when suddenly the classroom doors burst open, with protestors spilling into the room with loud slogans and zealous dialogue. The room was arrested in a state of shock, amusement and captivation. We later were informed that the professor had invited dramatics experts to contribute to the class, making the entire experience so memorable and powerful. That was one lecture I will never forget!

Learning Through Lectures: IIM Indore
My most memorable classroom experience in IIM Indore was of a session of Organizational Behaviour - II in my term-II. A role play was designed for that session. Some external actors were also hired for this purpose.

IIM Indore: Driven By Diversity
Have you ever imagined living your life in a quaint town with forests galore and birds chirping by? IIM Indore embodies that imagination. What makes IIM Indore unique is how understated its diversity is, almost as if the diversity has blended into every thread of its existence. There are days when the student mess is greeted with a presence of peacocks and yet, life goes on. The 200-acre campus houses countless trees and birds and insects and the charm they deliver is unmatchable. Every time you walk around the campus, you feel refreshed and wowed. This beauty at IIM Indore makes it unique.

IIM Indore - A Run Through The Campus
It begins with some stretching outside the girl’s hostel, where the big beautiful palm trees sway in the cool breeze, blissfully unaware of the chaotic life of those around. As soon as you start your run you get a whiff of the warm evening snacks from the mess, tempting you to abandon the whole thing and eat! But when you see the majestic trees with the vibrant red tops on your left you just know you can’t stop now! You run further and enter the faculty area where you see the families having a wonderful time together, you see little children playing around, you hear their sweet voices over the sound of your own slightly heavy breath and you smile. You feel refreshed seeing families, seeing stability and warmth after the contrasting fast college life you experience every other minute. A little more trudging along gets you to the snake road, twisty and turny with lush green trees on either side (and probably actual snakes too!), it takes you to the Sunset Point. The uphill run is rewarded with a breath-taking sight that changes depending on the time you get there; if you’re there in the day, you see the lush green campus beneath you with the bright blue sky above; if you’re there in the evening then you see the beautiful sunset, the lovely sky with a tinge of orange and red; and if you’re there in the night you catch a sight of Indore twinkling beneath you. Running some more gets you to the favourite part of any other runner, the downhill run!! You spread your arms looking at the beautiful sky in front of you and you run as fast as you can without falling, smiling all the way down; you reach the boy's hostel; with the majestic cricket stadium in front of them. You see your classmates playing football and you wave at them and carry on down to the grand auditorium where you are welcomed by the sweet-smelling jasmine growing across from the water reservoir; which boasts of a full level during the rains but dries up in despair in the summer. When you’re past the auditorium it gets a little tough, you’ve been running for long and the road ahead of you is uphill, but you’ve come so far! You plod along and are rewarded by the grand gates of IIM Indore. You turn away from them and see the path ahead; yellow flowers in the middle and green trees on either side, birds chirping, encouraging you to go on, you smile through all the heavy breathing and get back up on the snake road only to be welcomed by the beautiful sight of Sunset Point again. You know you’re going to stop now, you decide to race yourself till the end and reach the stairs you climb for college every day in a time better than yesterday. You race, you run as fast as you can and you stop at the

Stimulating Simulations And Enthralling Experiences - IIM Indore
It was 12 in the night and I was going through the case study due for the lectures next day. It was the last couple of lectures of Organisational Behaviour Course the next day and till now we were taught about group dynamics, influencing and group decision making, collaboration and negotiation, organisational culture and many such fancy terms. I was unsure whether I would be able to use any of these concepts after stepping into corporate life. Amidst these thoughts, my phone buzzed with an email from our professor stating that the last couple of lectures would be a simulation for the entire batch and all the 540 odd students have been divided into groups of 10 or 11. Till now my experience with simulations wasn’t very good, many of them were easily cracked by students leading to moderate grading and rest were too tricky leading to people randomly guessing and speculating the outcome. I assumed that this would also be like either one but why it was a group task was still out of my wit. A lot of questions were popping in my head but I decided to go with the flow and went to sleep.

ABCDEF: The 6 Step Method To Crack Case Study Competitions
The first of the many things that I learned after joining IIM Rohtak is the importance of corporate competitions. They give you a platform to apply the theoretical knowledge to real-life situations. They also provide you with an opportunity to interact with upcoming future leaders. According to me, these are the 2 major benefits amongst various others of participating in these events. Corporate competitions are mostly case-based events, in which the companies might ask the students to prepare a marketing strategy for their products, or might ask them to select the best possible approach for a solving a particular intriguing situation.
