My Exhilarating Experience At IIM Rohtak After an IIT-G | Jeevan Rathod

'We overestimate what we can do in a day, and we underestimate what we can do in a lifetime.' - From 'Little Women' My under-graduation in IIT Guwahati gave me the right opportunities for my career to take off in the right direction. The IIT Culture made me ready to take on the professional world with the right skill-sets. I worked for two years henceforth to further polish myself learning the fundamental mantras of the corporate culture. Performing academically as well as finding and pursuing interests in extracurricular activities made my overall personality grow. Hence, through my work of 2 years, I felt the need for professional management education, and also, to be honest, I wanted to live the best of institutional cultures all over again! So, I found my way into IIM Rohtak, a land which I considered to replenish my wings even more, and I was ready to cross the bridge from academic theory to management practice at IIM Rohtak.
