Should I look at the placement reports, should I look at some rankings? So, I started browsing through many comparisons and numbers with most of them returning fairly even results. Now, what do I do? I texted random students from each of the institutes, even though I was sure about getting the same reply from everyone that “Ours is the best”. The replies started coming, the other colleges were on the lines of “Better than the other two” but the reply from IIM Trichy was different, “We are a new IIM, it will be hard but we are continuously working on improvement and it’ll be the same for you”, and that is when I decided. The mission of the institute was clearly instilled in the students, they were not looking back or around them, they were looking ahead of them.
My decision was abundantly clear, this is my true calling. The mindset that the students had for the institute has made its impression on me. It was clear that the perspectives I was going to share are of undying perseverance and compassion.
29th May, 2018, I decided to join IIM Trichy! The young player with its eyes on the stars, professors with their goals set and students with the passion to reach out for those stars. There is no better combination for a B-school.
23rd June, 2018, I sat down in my allocated room and now, the responsibility of the institute was mine too and this is how I selected my college.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
Given the chance, I would like to work for the Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail. The company is one of the most prestigious in the country and produced many leading brands in the market. This in itself displays their excellence.
Continuous success is tough for any industry but ABFR has continued to flourish and that truly belongs to the workforce that runs it from behind. A chance to explore the work and learn from this experience would be a great chance for any new manager.
