Aditi Koomar- Bachelors in Dentistry, MCODS Manipal
After
completing my Bachelors in Dentistry from one of the leading dental college
of India, MCODS Manipal in 2013, I worked as a Probationary Officer with IDBI
Bank for 7 months. The environment and work culture at the bank made me
contemplate management studies. I decided to appear for the Common Admission
Test in 2015 and got a call from IIM Raipur, which I promptly accepted. After
arriving here, a fortnight was spent in the introductory classes and the
Orientation Programme which gave us a flavor of the corporate life. The daily schedule has been full of
lectures, assignments and activities. The seniors have been very helpful and
supportive, and have prepared us for an eventful two years at IIM Raipur.

Namrata – Bachelor of Commerce, SRCC After an eventful start of the PGP programme with the orientation ceremony and the preparatory classes, I had a great deal of learning from the various activities organized by the clubs of IIM Raipur -Mantra, Finatix, HRidhaan, Consulting and Entrepreneurship Club (CEC), Operations Club (OPEP), CUSP and Kartavya. International Yoga Day celebration has inculcated in us the need of healthy living and high thinking. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to interact with many eminent people from the corporate world. The students got a chance to show their creativity and talent through the cultural activities. The teachings of the professors and dignitaries have instilled in the students a new force of confidence that they have entered one of the premier B-schools in India. |

Prabhash Sharma- Civil Engineer, NIT Surathkal
There are moments when we have to make some of the most important
decisions which can change the course of our lives. One of those moments for
me was when I, having worked for a year with Tata Housing Bangalore, decided
to pursue MBA at one of the most prestigious educational institutions of the
nation “IIM RAIPUR”.
The Preparatory Classes that made our knowledge base sound was
followed by the four day Orientation Programme, where we got to meet some of
the most influential leaders from the corporate world like Mr. Raj Raghavan
from Amazon , Mr. Nikhil Sahni from Yes bank to name a few. The support of
the seniors has been commendable and I’m thankful to them for introducing us
to the unique IIM culture. Within such a short period, I have participated in
numerous events such as IPL auction, Junkyard, Beer-game, toastmaster etc. I
can see myself embarking on a steep learning curve and am very glad that I
made the right decision by joining IIM Raipur.

Garg – B.Tech, Civil Engineering, IIT Roorkee
I have worked at ZS Associates as a Business Analyst before joining
the PGP programme at IIM Raipur. Right from the day 1 at IIM Raipur, I have
experienced a high level of innovative energy in the unique culture and
business ecosystem at IIM Raipur. The batch profile at IIM Raipur is very
diverse with students being not only engineers but also economics graduates
and doctors. It helps in generating and exchanging more ideas and learning
from varied perspectives. The curriculum at IIM Raipur is anchored in the
fundamentals of general management, from finance and marketing to strategy
and organizational behavior. During my stay at IIM Raipur I expect I would
develop leadership skills across multiple dimensions to be able to deliver
strategic, operational and organizational innovations in the corporate world
as well as the society. Also, I’m particularly ecstatic about the Student
Exchange Programme at IIM Raipur through which I can have direct exposure to
foreign universities.

Sagar Kothari – Bachelor of Commerce, St. Xavier’s College Kolkata After completion of my graduation in commerce, I cleared the CA Intermediate Level Exam conducted by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. I had the desire to pursue MBA since the final year of my college and the moment I received my convert mail for IIM Raipur, it was clear that this place was to be my destination for the next 2 years. The student exchange programme, constantly improving placement record and a relatively smaller batch size were some of the factors which helped me in making my choice.
The journey so far has been
an enthralling one with the co-operation and support extended by the seniors
being commendable. We got the opportunity of interacting with the industry
stalwarts from reputable companies who shared their experiences and provided
tips and tricks about making the best of these 2 years at IIM Raipur.

Hershita Tigga- B.Com, SRCC
Having completed my graduation from Sri Ram College of Commerce
(SRCC), New Delhi; I secured admission at IIM Raipur. Right from the
registrations to the hostel room allotment, everything went on smoothly with
the help and guidance from the seniors. The International Yoga Day function
was a very wonderful experience and gave us a head start about the good days
to come. We were also introduced to various clubs and committees through
innovative games and events where we learnt a lot about team work, time
management and also got to interact and know our batch mates better.
Meanwhile, we were also interacting and learning a lot from our esteemed
faculties in the preparatory classes, which were a great help and gave us a
steady start to our student life here. The orientation programme gave us
great insights of the various aspects and sectors of the market. Both the PGP
batches, celebrated ‘EID’ here at IIM Raipur as one big family where we had a
lot of fun and learnt about team building and event management.
