I remember coming to the campus full of enthusiasm about the new life. It was always the dream to pursue an MBA degree from one of the top management institutes in India. Been living the dream from one year and still can’t believe that I’m at an IIM.
Indian Institute of Management, Indore one of the most prestigious management institute in India known for its Infrastructure, Professors, Events and very strong alumni network. But what intrigued me most was the feeling of just being at the campus. The vibrant campus culture is shown in the campus life. The cycle of assignments, lectures, guest talks, and events is the proof of showing that IIM Indore never sleeps. You will find some group discussing, solving assignments in the night mess at 4 a.m. over late night dinner (or maybe an early morning breakfast!).
Infrastructure:
IIM Indore have a beautiful campus spaced out around 193 acres. The campus is located at Prabandh Shikhar it really stays true to its name of ‘castle on the hill’. Each location on campus has its own identity, starting from the acad-block to the sunset point. The campus also has a well-equipped sports complex with an Olympic size swimming pool.
Events:
The first event of the campus is the coveted i5-summit, a unique event organized by Indian Institute of Technology, Indore and IIM Indore. In the I5-summit, upcoming startups pitch their ideas to promising investors. The campus is also visited by well-known business leaders during the event to share their knowledge on different topics. Next comes Udaan, marathon organised with a cause to spread awareness about diverse social issues. Under Utsaha, the IIM taps into the rural segment to gather insights for current rural marketing trends.
Towards the end of the year comes the flagship event of the college IRIS. During the event, campus becomes full of life with students participating from IITs, IIMs and other major colleges in India.
Rural Immersion Programme:
Rural Immersion Programme is one of the unique programmes that IIM Indore organizes in coordination with the Madhya Pradesh State Government. The programme offers future leaders a look into rural India.
Himalayan Outbound Programme:
During the second year of the two year MBA programme, the students get an opportunity literally be on top of the world with the Himalayan Outbound Programme. The students go through multiple training for the programme and then to prepare them for the challenges of the corporate world, students are encouraged to participate in adventure sports.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
To be a part of a $44 billion Aditya Birla Group is an achievement in itself. Among the group of companies, I would really love to work for Aditya Birla Capital. Aditya Birla Capital is one of the largest Asset Management Companies in India with AUM of $36 billion. Aditya Birla Capital offers a number of products in both mutual funds and general insurance space. As I am planning my career in finance it would be great to work with a company which gives you the opportunity to work with such a diverse set of products. It will be great to work with the group in the challenging field of finance
