What makes IIM Trichy unique?
Tiruchirappalli is a land of great heritage and culture, back in the 3rd century BC when it was under the rule of the Cholas, Uraiyur in Trichy was the capital for almost 600 years and thus is a host of some of the prominent historical monuments such as the Rockfort, the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam and the Jambukeswarar temple at Thiruvanaikaval. IIM Trichy imbibes these personas and cultures of the city as its own and is a great place to live and study for any MBA aspirant. We have a campus which is spread on 175 acres of land and is equipped with smart classrooms, a world-class library, and many other state of the art infrastructure facilities.
I must confess, our faculty members are fascinating in terms of the attitude, knowledge and energy they bring to all our classes. They are alumni of the leading B-Schools in the country and abroad. The institute makes significant investments in faculty trainings to be ahead in the quest of continuous improvement. IIM Trichy received the “Top Institute of India” award by Competition Success Review and our esteemed director Dr. Bhimaraya Metri has received the “Top Director” award at the same event.
There is a very high level of academic and work diversity at IIM Trichy. Girl students outnumber the boy students in PGPM 18-20 batch, which shows the importance that is to diversity by IIMT. The students here nearly cover every state in the country and the IIM Trichy family ensures that each and every student feels closer to home and the academic rigor bridges all the gaps between students from various demography’s. Festivals and events like Holi, Ganesha Chathurti, Diwali, Onam, Dussehra and Dandiya Night are enthusiastically celebrated every year.
IIM Trichy is known for being the best for finance among the newer IIMs. It is recognized by the CFA Institute and the students have won the CFA Credit Research Challenge 3 times in the last 4 years, the only new IIM do achieve this feat. From my personal experience during the summer internship I can proudly say that IIMT alumni share a strong bond with the institute and its students. The alumni see the other batch pass outs as their own and hence though IIMT is relatively young it is on its way to achieve a strong and influential alumni network across the country and beyond.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
I would like to work for Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Management. This company manages some of my favorite brands like Van Heusen, Peter England etc. Before joining IIMT I was a very objective person, I could always grasp concepts associated with numbers and which are objective in nature. After exposure to courses like Marketing management, Product and Brand management, understanding the subjective elements associated with consumers always used to give a different kind of a happy and an ecstatic feeling. I would be honored if presented a chance to work with such esteemed brands and to understand its consumers.
