Well an eight year dream nurtured and grown inside me finally bore fruit when i had a chance to spend one very informative week at IIM Indore .
I was always crazy about getting into IIM's , because of two reasons. One of the reason is their brand and next the salaries that students from these institute command.
To me these were the primary reason. However i always used to think ok what is so great about the institute, what is that one thing that the other institutes offer in diluted manner.
Well i had to wait eight years to find out he reason. When i was there in IIM Indore last week, i did understand why the IIM's command such a respect. The one best thing that stands out is their Intellectual Capital. What an enormous amount of knowledge capital do the professors of these institute poses. I was stunned by their prowess in their subjects of expertise, not only that but what is even more striking is their ability to relate to various other subjects and convert it to a topic of their expertise. All the professors who had taught me in the one week had similar quality “Expertise” and their ability to connect with students from all walk of life by converting the subject to real life examples, my batch had work experience cutting across industries. At the end of every class one could find students enthusiastically asking questions and clarifying the concepts.
At the end of one week, it was an unanimous agreement to the statement “IIM’s command respect due to their intellectual capital”. Just imagine where would you find a professor educated at LSE and serving on the board of four companies would also be a professor taking lessons on International business? May be only in a handful of places but surely at the IIM's.
As for me it is just still unbelievable that I had stepped into the classrooms of the institute. What a week!
