It has now been close to two months since I stepped into this Institute and before you dismiss that as being not long enough time to be able to give substantial insight on institutes, I’ll put out a disclaimer that this would be of most interest to those preparing/about to start preparing for the various management exams with an intent of joining a b-school soon or those who seek to get a glimpse of what to expect at the institute that is also popularly known as the “Campus in Clouds”!

5 Things You Should Know About While Joining A B-School

The campus in the clouds never sleeps. A future manager suddenly wakes up to the sounds of joy coming from the meeting area between the hostels, our beloved quadrangle. He walks towards the sounds confused what could be so important at 12 AM in the night. He reaches there and witnesses something he had long forgotten since his graduation college. A birthday. The whole batch, celebrating the fact that one of them is now closer to his forties. Everyone is happy except, the person of the hour. Running to hide, the celebrations here can sometimes be painful. Lesson 1, wear lots of clothes on your birthday.

Transformation From Apprehensive To Enthusiastic At IIM Shillong

My journey of discovering myself started one year back when I decided to take a gap year as I did not want to compromise on my education. Having secured a good percentile and getting calls from prestigious institutes such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Lucknow, FMS and IIM Shillong, I diligently prepared for the interviews and consequently had a detailed discussion about fields such as philosophy, Atheism, and value investing.

Sustainability Trek 2017 - IIM Shillong - An Experience Of A Lifetime

Sustainability Trek 2017 - IIM Shillong - An Experience Of A Lifetime

On 9th July, I had one of the best experiences of my life. PGP17 was taken on a trek as a part of the foundation course on sustainability. The day started with a walk through the sacred forest of Mawphlang. It felt like I was stepping into an award-winning photograph of an exotic forest. The sheer variety of the shades of green that I was seeing was in itself stunning. To add to the beauty, we were walking along a large stream that lent itself wonderfully to photographs. We were privileged enough to see the sacred spots inside the forest where the locals conduct their rituals. It was a truly refreshing experience.

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

As a child, in primary school, I loved participating in fancy-dress competitions. Dressed up like Nehru, with a rose pinned on my chest, I would go on to speak like a mini-statesman. Fortunate to be blessed with the gift of oratory, I went on to win many fancy-dress competitions. Every win used to fill me up with pride, so much so that I would go on to ‘fancy’ my chances of becoming the Prime Minister of India someday. And the innocent soul I was back then, I would actually answer every ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ with ‘Prime Minister’ in utmost seriousness.
