Being a non-residential program, finding accommodation seemed to be a problem at first glance but now I consider it as a major advantage over all other IIMs. Living in flats in housing societies within 200m of the radius of our campus gives participants a unique experience of linking classroom teachings to real life experiences.This freedom allows us to explore various business and learning opportunities in the city that contributes 6.16% to India’s GDP and 70% of Capital transactions. Our campus size is practically 4,355km square as we explore the entire metro!
I always knew that it is going to be tough to survive in an IIM and Mumbai never disappoints anyone. The first few months are the most difficult to survive when participants are bombarded with diverse courses and projects. Sleep becomes a rare commodity and consumption of coffee grows at an exponential rate, so much that at times we wished that we should have done a mock MBA before joining an IIM. But slowly this routine got so much ingrained in our lifestyle that a day without classes made us recollect our childhood days of summer vacations .Frequent interactions with people from industry allows us to connect the dots and make business sense out of the various theories taught in classroom. Proximity to corporate headquarters of major companies also help us in getting live projects and summer internship.
The overall experience of IIM Indore –PGP Mumbai has been splendid so far. The “city of dreams” never disappoints people who believe in their dreams.
