A Day In The Life Of An IIM Shillong Student

A Day In The Life Of An IIM Shillong Student

When I got an admission to an IIM, my only source of information was Chetan Bhagat’s Two States. And I couldn’t be any more disillusioned. While the idea of finding love in a hopeless place sounds exciting, few get the opportunity, or rather, the time to pursue such interests. Here is a glimpse of an average student’s daily itinerary.

With Asian Paints, Success Is Not A Destination, It Is A Journey - Pankaj Mann, IIM Lucknow

It was the afternoon between two exams. Gloomy eyes I saw, it was ten past four, but I decided to sleep for some more time. Only a few moments might have passed and I was neither asleep nor awake, I was just hanging there waiting for some wild thought to sway me to sleep and then I heard some sound, I know it was familiar I have heard it before. I knew this sound. I thought I was thinking in my sleep! And, then it hit me, “it’s my ringtone” and I woke up to my ringing phone! There was no name displayed on the screen, Truecaller was trying to find the name but was only loading. It has been few days and Truecaller was not working properly for me. I half sleep I picked up the call, “Hi, it’s Dhruv calling from AP” I was attentive again, the sleep started to sweep away! I was going to Chennai, they have changed my location to Chennai from Bangalore!  I felt different, I don’t know if it was due to sleep or was it my fear to go to a new place which I felt at that moment.

Playing In Unilever's World - An IT Intern's Experience

Summer internship undoubtedly is the highlight of the first year of your master's program in management. Starts with the anxiety of getting an offer, followed by a brief period of relief that lasts only until you're about to start work, post which it is the excitement of knowing your location and project and soon after it's the thrill of working on a challenging project that paves the way for massive learning. Towards the end of the internship, it's anxiety again – this time about evaluations and pre-placement offers.
