Why is iiml called hell

Balakrishnan and Indian Student Parliament,Pune for his literary works. Being an active observer and proponent of campus-affairs, Subhra has witnessed countless transforming stories that makes IIML, much more than just an institution of repute. It was his major missing that culminated into the idea of writing a book, which could serve as an instrument of purpose for aspirants and bring an element of nostalgia and home-coming to all its alums. The clouds pave way for a blazing sun as it sheds its warmth on the beautiful campus of IIM Lucknow.

The well-manicured lawns flaunting a myriad of flowers, with an occasional glimpse of peacocks and the sound of the birds chirping are beautiful. Here is my journey about how first-year at IIM Lucknow was a grueling experience for me. Convocation time The tension and excitement are almost palpable in the air as students some of the best minds of the country eagerly await validation of their two years of hard work. Yes, it was convocation time.

As I see my seniors sitting in their graduation outfit, smiling with a tinge of nostalgia and looking at the convocation ground one last time, my mind flashes back to my own year at IIM Lucknow, or what we proudly call as Hell. I remember letting out a whoop of joy as I saw my admission letter, and I remember fantasizing about what my life would be like in the next two years. However, nothing could have prepared me for whatever was there in store for me. I remember walking through the gates for the first time and we were greeted by our alums who trusted us with the legacy of the institute.

Then I entered my classroom with my name printed at the front of the seat. The professor conducted a surprise quiz in class and proudly received collective groans.

I remember chasing ridiculous deadlines and staying up till late night in the night mess completing a project. Also, I remember how I got introduced to some people who have always had my back. We laugh all the time and promise to stay in touch.

It would be fair to say that the previous one year would have been impossible without their constant advice and guidance. Posted on 30 Aug' 16 by Khushboo Iiml.

As you enter IIM Lucknow you experience that rich environment, the buildings give you that feeling of 'big thing'. The college has all the facility that an MBA student would aspire for from a college, not only the awesome classroom but recreational facilities of all sort.

The college does hold multiple talks with the industry experts but score less compared to college situated in Mumbai or Gurgaon due to location, multiple live projects on your own can helo this. The college life is awesome because of the pace at which things happen, this not only makes you do things which are expected but somehow you learn to do more, which you won't do in peaceful structure.

But yes if you are looking for a B-school which gives you value addition in terms of Knowledge, Co-curricular and Extra-Curricular activities, then this is the place to be in.

We all at IIML are proud of a community which excels in helping each other as and when we need it can any other institute boast of this. A short span of time and we are already right behind the leader to snatch that position from him in the rankings of B-school. Great learning experience.

The interaction with the batch mates were really useful. People from different fields had come in. The infrastructure was world class. Academic rigor was also good though only a handful of professors were able to grab the students' attention Infrastructure. If not 2 than 1 would suffix.

Many a times working professionals couldn't live their dreams of studying in IIM's for 2 years because of the opportunity cost that is attached wit their job. The weekly virtual classes helped me learn while working. Also, it doesn't hinder your work thus it becomes really very useful and handy to take up this program.

Posted on 17 Oct' 15 by Nikhail. IIML has a great alumni network. This is the 4rth oldest IIM and 27 batches of managers have graduated out of its gates most of whom are now the decision makers in big corporate houses. Alumni strength is not only decided by how old the institute is but also by the collective cohesiveness among the alumni and the current students and I wish to say out loud that we excel in this department.

Having tie-ups with 30 B schools around the globe, it is one of the finest exchange programs in India. There are a lot of Industry interactions going on anytime in the campus through corporate competitions, guest lectures, business conclaves and live case studies. The professors are from a rich academic background, with affiliations with top schools like Harvard, Stanford and MIT.

The pedagogy is mainly case-study based.
