IIM Raipur - What Makes The Institute Worth It?

From varied backgrounds, these people bring together a bunch of different skill sets, domains and experiences under a single roof, all to earn a Post Graduate Diploma (not even an MBA degree) in Management. And once you start your journey at a B-school, you realise that no books can help you become a good manager or a future leader, or an entrepreneur.

Had this been the case, everyone would have bought books worth 50 thousand rupees and boasted their management knowledge. Then why do we pay 12 lakhs for 2 years of hectic lifestyle and torturous nights, uncountable assignments, case studies and presentations? The answer would remain the same as the topic I started writing for, to be under the same roof as these 210 people. The advent of a good manager starts the day he or she begins participating in the rituals of a B-school.

Hence, it’s the experiences, the life that you live for these 2 years that overhauls your persona and publishes a better version of yourself into the corporate world, version IIM, a version that never gets deprecated, and receives updates till eternity.

Which ABG Company would you work for and Why?

I would love to be a part of Ultratech Cement, Aditya Birla Group. Being a mechanical engineer undergraduate, I would love to witness a mix of my engineering skills with those of the management ones, bringing a finishing touch to my work and enhancing my ability to contribute to the brand of Aditya Birla Group.
