Your First-month Experience In DMS IIT (ISM) Dhanbad.
Heading towards college life again after a 3-year gap was a difficult decision for me. I was all into the corporate world and the fear of college life was all over me. After giving it, some thought for a while, I decided to take the exam, and here I am studying at one of the oldest and most prestigious institutes in the country. With days passing by, I was bracing myself for the new journey and mentally preparing myself for the same. And finally, after a long wait, D-day arrived. The day went on, interacting with faculty members and giving an introduction to all around us. Interacting with seniors and faculty members was very satisfying, and I felt my decision was correct. The taste of joining the IIT institute started the very next day, as all the lectures started in a full-fledged manner and the classes were interactive and engaging. I never thought online classes were so interactive, but all our reputed faculties justified every bit of it. With so many emails in my inbox now and then, I get the feeling that I am still part of corporate and working for clients. But to be honest, it was difficult to catch up in the initial weeks. It felt like things were happening so fast, but slowly I got it, this is how MBA life is, and I needed to get out of my comfort zone. The advantage, I think, one has in pursuing an MBA from IIT is that you get the perfect blend of management and technical learning. Going with the class flow and everyday routine, it was time to be a part of the legacy and join different committees. And here we started with the TPC committee recruitment process, which was conducted smoothly. Kudos to the TPC members. I faced interviews again after so long, and I had a different feeling of nervousness and excitement. It went smoothly, and I felt confident being among the members of the new team, and guess what, I made it, finally. With the days passing by, I was enjoying every bit of it, and with my wonderful classmates and friends around, it was a super thrilling time. From doing late-night committee work and late-night meetings, I believe these two years have a lot more to offer. Although this pandemic has made us slaves to online teaching, writing semester exams or quizzes online was never our forte. All of us were still figuring out how the quizzes would be conducted online and how we were going to score and do well. In the end, everything went smoothly, and we broke the jinx of our fear. Every day here is a new day for me, with a lot of learning and challenges. The opportunity to participate in different inter-college competitions and in-house competitions has become a part of us. There's a lot to learn here, and there's plenty of help from faculty and seniors. The first month of the journey has been a roller coaster with a perfect blend of stress and excitement. This new start has made me more mature and responsible than before, and I agree that it has positively impacted me and changed the perspective I had a month back. Although we are still awaiting our campus life to get started, online classes are no less fun. The environment and the aroma around me have kept my interest intact and have motivated me to strive every day and keep updating myself. I am confident that my decision will transform me into a better person and will bring the best out of me.
