We have always seen students of IIMs going on exchange to universities abroad. In the same set up, students from abroad come to our universities in India. David Merzger is one such student from Germany, who had come for a term to IIM Indore. He is pursuing masters in studies of business administration from Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany. David is interested in finance, and has gained hands on commercial experience in financial services back in Germany during his internship with several companies. As part of social activities, he has also worked for civilian service. Let’s check out what he thinks about IIM Indore.
The Senior PGDHRM as well as PGDM (2013-2015 Batch) students at IIM Ranchi got an opportunity to learn leadership by experience as a part of their leadership outbound programme, organized by Tata Steel Adventure Foundation (TSAF), at Jamshedpur. At the fag-end of their MBA journey, this outbound programme was one key experiential learning that the students were keenly looking forward to. The Leadership course facilitator, Prof. Gaurav Marathe, acted as mentor to all the students on the outing.
In the times of increasing competition, all the colleges have started to look for building a strong competitive sustainable advantage for themselves. IIM Kashipur, keeping up with the changing times, started expanding its reach into international markets by starting a student exchange programme with a couple of French Universities. First time, 6 students were sent to complete a term (out of the 6 they were supposed to complete according to their academic curriculum) in France.
Student Exchange programs at the different B-Schools are an integral part of the whole experience that the 2-years of management degree offers. Besides the peer learning in terms of academics, these programs offer both the incoming students and the host school students to know a bit more about the culture of their classmates from the other side of the world. IIM Lucknow welcomes students from a diverse set of schools to its campus every year and as the term is nearing its end, the exchange students got together to give the hosts a flavor of their hospitality and their culture. The very jovial exchange students put together a sumptuous Euro Dinner and also organized a fun-filled Euro night which was a refreshing break for the students and faculty alike.
France black and white but India so much color, taste, spices, spirituality, Bollywood so much fun! Exclaimed Guillaume, a soft spoken student from Neoma business school, France. His elegant looking friend, Julien from the same b-school sitting beside him added with extreme zeal, I was in Delhi and then travelled to Agra. So short distance but so different culture. India is really exciting as I expected. Full of life, Marco from MISB Bocconi, Italy is anxiously looking forward to one of the courses to be taught by one of the best professors of IIML, Dr. Himanshu Rai. Anna and her friends, Malory and Gautier from EM Strasbourg believe that India is one of the fastest growing economies in the World. They are specializing is Entrepreneurship. Thus, they believe that their one year exchange program will help them immensely giving exposure to various entrepreneurial aspects of India. This avidity to learn about enchanting Indian culture, to explore Indian education system, to closely feel one of the fastest growing economies in the World, students from various top Universities from places like France, Italy, Belgium and Denmark enthusiastically participate in this student exchange program. It is a known fact that, “IIM Lucknow” and “Diversity” has a deep-seated relationship. Student exchange program which witnesses perpetual increase every year adds to this diversity enormously. IIML boasts it's alluring campus and ranking as the major factors which attract students exchange participants. For Julien, IIML was the most obvious choice due to the ranking and the strategic position of Lucknow in the Map of India.
In March 2014, SPJIMR announced that the entire incoming batch (2014-2016) of PGDM students will go for an international immersion. In this interview, Prof. Malay Krishna, Chairperson of SPJIMR’s International Relations, talks about this unique initiative.
Sitting in front of my notebook, I am confounded – for I have absolutely no idea how to begin! A random swarm of alphabets swirls in my mind which tries desperately to organize them into meaningful words – such are the experiences - variegated as diversely as the terrain of the European continent! Indeed, it was once in a lifetime opportunity in my student life as I chose to experience 1 of my 6 trimesters at EM Strasbourg Business School in Strasbourg, France. A hectic schedule is what typifies any B School life. It wasn’t too different here either, but with the liberties given in terms of selection of courses and designing your own class schedule combined with a unique experience of interacting with 140 exchange students from around 40 nationalities made it a remarkable journey indeed.
Life at a B-school is waking up every morning the way a lion does only to realize that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running. And it is a rather long run, two years to be exact.
