'Persistence And Honesty Helped Me Land An Internship' - Richa Agrawal - IIM Bangalore

Ever imagined an interview where you believe you performed exceptionally poor and fear that the performance would leave a mark in your memory for a long time, but the interviewers liked you for your honesty and persistence. Ever imagined that you answered "No" twice to the question - "If you put yourself in our shoes, then do you still believe we should select you based on your interview performance?" and still they announce a "Yes" in the verdict.

There is a sense of belonging across all such programs based on learning through interaction that is prevalent in the fun we have during our 2 years on campus.

XSRM (Earlier XIMB-RM) - The Travails Of A Future Rural Manager

"Development of Villages will develop New India" echoed the words of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam who planted the seeds of inspiration for development in my childhood which propelled me to apply for the rural management course in XIMB. After months of hard work preparing for CAT, I finally got admission into this hallowed institution. Yes, it is worth the hype and aura as I personally had the most enlightening experience in these five months. From the very first day, the seniors caught me unawares as they welcomed me in their inimitable style which is a legacy which has stood for the past two decades. This set the tone for the many surprises that the specialised course had to offer.
