BIBHU PRASAD RATH
Associate Research Manager IMRB INTERNATIONAL,
BANGALORE PGDM 2012-14
It's a myth that "Things we learn in classroom are never used in practical". IMI-B gives you the platform to
use it and pursue your passion in the aspired industry. Some constraints, some apprehensions but lots of
expectations and excitement: My journey at IMI-B started with all these emotions. At the end of two years,
it was beyond the expectation I had set for myself. "MBA is all about learning": Whether it is inside the
classroom or outside the classroom through events and various clubs & committee responsibilities (I was
involved with cultural, student relation and corporate relation activities).
From everything that I have learnt here, if I must pick the 3 most important things, then those will
be- "Patience" Confidence" and "Effort". These may seem very generic, but these are some key requirements
to get succeed. Now the corporate life at IMRB. Everything that I have learnt in marketing, Consumer
Behaviour & MR is being utilised here. Thanks to IMI for the high level of academic focus and quality
teaching. The first few days at IMRB has been really great and exciting. But focus has not shifted from
learning. really, "We learn till we die".
NAVNEET GOEL
Sr. Executive FIRST SOURCE LIMITED (PGDM 2011-13)
“With 2 years of prior work experience and stable job, I was a bit apprehensive joining IMI Bhubaneswar.
But with the backing of IMI Delhi, and its long-standing association with reputed business houses I have
decided to tread this path......... “
Being a new Institute it had its own charm. Students had a lot of involvement in organising events, taking
new initiatives, undertaking placement related activities and channelizing efforts towards establishing the
institute. This also honed our entrepreneurial stills. The methodology of teaching and the domain knowledge
of the faculties acted not only as a catalyst in developing a better understanding of the subjects but also
helped us to develop a structured approach towards problem solving”
I am sure in time to come the institute will establish itself as “Mecca of Business Education in the country.
