The first few weeks were by far the most gruelling for most of us trying to get up to speed with the fast paced MBA life; juggling between exploring Trichy, the NIT campus and trying to absorb as much as possible from the lectures. The faculty here at IIMT come with a rich teaching experience and commendable credentials, and sitting through some of the lectures are a genuine treat.
Given the relatively smaller size of the batch, getting acquainted with each other is something that happened naturally for everyone. Our batch comprised of people with experience from varying domains which gives everyone the opportunity to engage in extensive peer learning. Given the first year courses do not offer any electives, everyone has the opportunity to explore all fields and decide what they wish to pursue in the second year. IIMT does not have the concept of specialization but with a choice of electives one can decide to major and minor in fields of their choice. Apart from this, the last three terms has been full of experiences; with evening cricket/football at Beryl grounds, late nights spent on completing presentations, participating in competitions and not to forget poker sessions on weekends.
Life at IIM Trichy is quite eventful, and being at the middle of it, right now, I know I can’t wait for the gears to start turning again and for me to resume this momentous experience.
