    Each day has its own set of challenges and twists. Things are so unpredictable here that you can't even plan your evenings in advance, as you would never know which professor would shower upon you, long assignments with Short deadlines. But then you also have days when you get pleasant surprises. Sometimes you enter a class and see an industry expert standing near the podium getting ready to teach a certain course topic or sometimes there are some exciting activities planned for us by the professor which is fun.

    Indian Institute of Management of one the best B-schools in the world. Lots of campuses still running hard to reach the standard of IIM but are not able to do so. Some of the major difference you can see when we compare IIMs and B-Schools are;

    Practice-driven pedagogy
    International exposure to sustainability initiatives
    Mentorship from industry leaders, policymakers and academics
