SME IIT J - Know Your Campus

On-campus, MBA programs have a distinct "vibe," and SME's is more formal than others. Classes begin and end on time, with students required to be in their seats and ready to answer a "cold call" question to begin the event. The sections spend the whole day in the same classroom entire day. Just as SME and IIT J students may cross-register for electives in other programs, SME elective courses also have students from other IIT B- Tech programs. Even though they are incredibly accomplished in their own right, these students often find the SME case method and classroom environment quite Challenging.

Many MBA programs have more clubs and Committee than SME IIT J. Nonetheless, I realized that for new schools with smaller batch sizes, such as ours, approximately 7+10 clubs/Committees is adequate for any business school student to get into; most students become heavily active in at least one club as a leader, with additional participation in one or two others. Others may instead get more intensely involved in a leadership post within their section. We'll note that this may represent significant extracurricular without overshadowing the academic experience. Students at these programs (and others) may quickly find themselves overcommitted in 3 to 5 different extracurricular organizations or more!

At SME IIT J, life outside the classroom is driven far more by the sections and informal groups of students with similar interests. While social sector attachment program nonprofit folks have organized volunteer work together, the finance people break off to do their thing, and so forth.

Popular hangouts- The most popular hangouts for IIT J students tend to be Meals on wheels and the canteen, followed by the state-of-the-art playground and the open wildlife space where you can spot beautiful fawns & doe. In addition, many IIT J students love to get out of town for the weekend. Several students will travel on the weekend of the school year to various Places to explore local businesses and exotic locations. As one of our mentors mentioned, "In my opinion, SME People will miss out on a lot of what IIT J and Jodhpur have to offer by not exploring more into the city. But, I think this has a lot to do with students wanting to hang out with each other, and the most convenient way (Covid Factor) to do so is on "Meals on wheels" over a MOMO fest.
