An IIT Hyderabad alumna and a student of IIM Trichy, I could resonate equally with both the institutes in that they are budding. IIM Trichy belongs to the second generation IIMs, but is unique from other sister management institutes in more ways than one. At this place, one is fuelled by the never-ending enthusiasm to make oneself and the institute standout. There are exceptional testimonials to mark the same. IIM Trichy has won the National round of the prestigious 8th Annual CFA Institute research challenge in India. IIM Trichy has also won CIMA Global Business challenge that was held in Warsaw Poland by defeating 14000 participants from 26 countries.
Marty Neumeier quoted “A brand is not what you say it is, it’s what they say it is”. So, if you need to make a mark, you need to early brand yourself. IIM Trichy does exactly that. Within 7 years of its inception, IIM Trichy was able to establish a permanent campus with state of the art facilities and is fully functional. And IIM Trichy is the first among the second generation IIMs to have a campus of its own. The campus in itself, is aesthetically appealing and international in standards. It has an International Sports complex and also an artificial lake that is being built inside the boundaries of the campus.
Everything is relative, nothing is absolute. IIM Trichy is ranked 6th by the MHRD and it doesn’t end there. In the short-term, it envisions to get to top 5 and eventually strengthen its brand image. Despite several hardships during the beginning years of the establishment of the institute, its graph of growth has been consistent, with respect to placements and educational standards.
Being in a culturally conventional city, added a lot of cultural value to the institute. Besides, cultural integrity, IIM Trichy exhibits academic, cultural and gender diversity better than any other B-school. For a fact, the gender diversity factor, this year, has been a record in history. The IIM Trichy fraternity is not only academically and culturally active, but also carries a sense of social responsibility. Henry Ford once said, “To do more for the world than the world does for you - that is success”. We keep proving it now and again. IIM Trichy has an exclusive Socio-initiative club called ‘Elixir’ that strives to make a difference in the adjacent society. ‘Make a difference’ (MAD) project is an initiative by IIM Trichy, where students work in teams on an issue of social importance. This is a part of IIM Trichy’s vision to create socially sensitive and value-driven leaders.
IIM Trichy is an institute that works for the holistic development of individuals and thereby the society. This broad vision is the driving factor and would keep the institute going towards greater dimensions.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
Given an inspiring opportunity to work with the ABG Group, I would like to work for Aditya Birla Nuvo. The Payments bank being an important concept by the RBI, has been revolutionised in its own way by ABG group to cater to the needs of the low income class and to develop a robust fintech ecosystem. As an individual who belongs to the digital era, I would like to strive towards obtaining secure and innovative solutions and contribute in making lives simpler and better.
