When talking about IIM Shillong we can not forget the name of one person – Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Kalam sir was one of the faculty members of the institute. Kalam sir spent last moment of his life in the campus of IIM Shillong while addressing the students. All the students, faculty members and every person associated with the institute, follows the teachings of Kalam sir. The “Nurturing Minds” is also established based on his teachings. This makes the IIM Shillong a very special place.
IIM Shillong also provides an opportunity to come out of our regular life and feel the pleasure and enjoy the mother nature. IIM Shillong is also known as “Campus in Clouds” and is full of greenery. The cool environment of Shillong works as a cherry on the cake. The students get a chance to get out of the complex city life and live a simple life at a very peaceful place. IIM Shillong also works a lot in saving the mother nature. Sustainability is in the bloodstream of IIM Shillong. Students are taught sustainability from the beginning of the course and they also have a separate compulsory course on sustainability. The mission of the institute also includes sustainability and is “To generate and disseminate knowledge in all aspects of management education for sustainable development and to develop innovative leaders with strong ethical values”. In addition to this, the students got a chance to live in a different culture. Majority of the population in Shillong belongs to ‘Khasi tribe’. Students from different parts of India get to know about a new culture and acquires a skill to adapt and learn from new cultures.
Being an IIM, the institute also puts a lot of emphasis on the academic and along with that there are a number of club and committee activities going on. Being a student driven campus, the students have a lot of responsibilities. Students at IIM Shillong treat each other like a family member. As the batch size is smaller than other IIM’s, every student knows the rest of the students by their names. It feels like a second home to students and ultimately helps the students to learn in an excellent environment. All these things make the life at IIM Shillong enjoyable. Although it’s been a little bit tiring due to a lot of tasks given it’s still very enjoyable. I feel blessed to be a part of IIM Shillong and eager to learn a lot from this institute and the new family I have.
