How does a typical day in IIM A pass by?

KS
Kalapi Singhal Posted On : February 22nd, 2022
studied Master of Business Administration Degrees at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

Here’s a brief look into a typical day at IIM Ahmedabad.

  • Lectures start from 8:45 sharp. The lecture timing at IIM Ahmedabad has a zero error policy. It means you can’t attend the class even if you are one second late. It’s best if you wake up around 7. That way you will have time to get ready for class in time. Although there are students who wake up at 8, grab something to eat if possible, and reach class down to the wire.
  • There will be classes and breaks in a loop until the lunch break. Even if you are sleepy you will have to be active in class for the class participation marks.
  • The lunch break is at 1 pm. During lunch, you will see students checking their emails or quiz board for notices regarding an upcoming quiz. If you have a quiz at 2:45 pm, you will get the notice around 1:45 pm. Students who don’t have to prep for a quiz, either study or take a nap. 
  • After 5 pm, the campus starts buzzing with various group activities. Many also start working on their group assignments. 
  • Students start to get dinner from around 8 pm. 
  • After dinner, most students either do their group assignments or study.

Naturally, the schedule varies depending on the individuals. But the activities are more or less same.

Masters from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

IIT Delhi has a total of 18 hostels for men, and 2 hostels for women. Each hostel has its mess hall that serves decent quality food. The general trend in most hostels is Breakfast>>Lunch>=Dinner. The mess menu is decided in winter/summer semester-wise separately and generally doesn't change throughout the semester.

A variety of dishes are served and the taste is also very good. Additionally, there are night messes till 4 am where you can munch on paranthe, momos, and Chinese. Some eateries that serve excellent snacks are Hollistic for juices and shakes, Rajdhani, Chaayos, CCD, Staff Canteen, and many more. Some combinations of meals served in the mess are

  • Chowmein, Manchurian, dal, roti
  • Macroni, Omelette chana and banana
  • Chole Bhature, Rice

A schedule is followed for mess food in every hostel. In which, sometimes the items served may differ. But the variety and quality of the food are excellent making it one of the motivating factors for students.

How is life at JIPMER?

AM
Anushua Mukharjee Posted On : September 21st, 2023
MBBS from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences

Life at JIPMER is extremely hectic yet very productive. A typical day begins at 8 in the morning for the MBBS students. The sleep-deprived students run for the first class often reaching late. 

MBBS students have clinics from 10 while first-year students have dissection hall classes. Clinics are very intriguing wherein students are dressed up as doctors carrying stethoscopes. Lunch starts at 1 pm and lasts an hour.

The clinic classes are followed by afternoon classes from 2-4:30. The end of the classes at 4:30 marks the end of the day as well and students are free to do whatever they want. Students usually hang out with their friends after their hectic schedules. During tests, students can be seen in the library or pacing up and down the hostel corridor. Yet, we have our times of joy too. Every few months there are games tournaments. The campus life is fun and the annual fest, Spandan, is hosted in the first week of September each year. 

Overall it's a continuous cycle of study, eat, and sleep with occasional fun moments with your friends!

How is life at NIT Delhi?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : October 10th, 2023

Life at NT Delhi is both challenging as well as rewarding in terms of the opportunities it offers both academically and non-academically. The relatively small batch size ensures a good rapport between the peers and also with the faculty. The small intake also ensures a decent package for everyone during placements. 

  • Sentience is the annual cultural and technical fest of NIT Delhi. Although is not held at the same level as other engineering colleges, it is extravagant and dynamic.
  • The permanent campus has excellent hostel facilities with provisions of AC rooms for which students are required to pay an extra 10k. 
  • The Nilerd campus and SRHC also have decent hostel facilities. The mess food is average and this campus is almost 5km away from the main campus. The commute is easy as a bus runs at the college’s expense to transport you to and fro both the campuses 5 times a week.
  • The NILERD campus has decent sports facilities at least in comparison to the main campus which has sports facilities still under construction. 
  • NIT Delhi does not have an active club life.
  • Students get a plethora of opportunities to participate in various activities and sports due to the low intake.
  • The college is located in close proximity to many IT hubs so many companies visit the campus during placements.
    NIT Delhi has a number of canteens on campus to cater to various necessities like stationary, snacks, etc. 

Life at NIT Delhi is pretty engaging and dynamic offering ample opportunities to build a successful career.

Is IPM IIM Rohtak worth it?

AS
Arun Sharma Posted On : January 9th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (Graduated 2020)

IIM Rohtak is a very newly established IIM that has yet to make its place in the IIM family. Because of its recent establishment people deem it not worthy of the IIM tag. But in reality, it’s gradually picking up pace and by the time its first batch will graduate (2024), it will have climbed the ladder higher. 

People think the IPM program offered by IIM Rohtak is a backdoor for people who want to escape the CAT exam. In reality, most of the students plan to give CAT or GMAT or both at the end of their third year.

Even if one compares Rohtak and Indore, we can clearly see that Rohtak is way ahead of Indore. The first batch placements of Rohtak are better than Indore. 

Some consider the lack of connectivity and cost also a reason why Rohtak is not worth it. But let me shed some light on this matter. Rohtak is just 70 km away from Delhi. The International airport is just an hour or two 's drive from the campus. So the connectivity issue is resolved here. As far as the cost is considered, one should not underestimate the 5 years he will be spending at an IIM campus with top-notch facilities and the most learned faculty and brilliant peers. All the investment is worth it. The final decision is yours to make but does remember that IIM Rohtak will have climbed the ladder in just a few years.
