I feel a wave of emotions wash over me as
I begin to consider my time at IMDR. I was
terrified, unsure of my skills, and unsure of
my decision to seek a PGDM degree a year
ago. But then I decided that to achieve an
independent life, I have to get out of my
comfort zone and hence I opted for PGDM in
IMDR.
My journey in IMDR began with an orientation
program that gave me exposer to the
college’s culture, beliefs, and expectations
before I begin my adventure at IMDR. I also
got to know my professors and classmates
during this period, starting the relationships
that will serve as the cornerstone of my
academic and professional network.
The academic program at IMDR is crafted
to give us the theoretical knowledge
and practical skills we’ll need to thrive
in the business world, as well as a wide
understanding of the management
principles. Finance, marketing, operations,
and strategy are just a few of the courses
you’ll study. Case studies, internships, and
projects will give us the chance to put what Now if I talk about my experience on

I just had a similar situation at my new
institution, when I had to collaborate
with some of my classmates on a group
project. A subject was provided to us to
research, before we produced a PowerPoint
presentation. It was intimidating at first
because I didn’t know my group members
well, but through our work together, we
quickly became friends. We discussed many
concepts, disagreed on a few points, and
ultimately created a presentation that was
both coherent and interesting. It was a great
bonding experience as we all shared our
expertise and learned from each other.
