For less than 300 places available in the most prestigious of them, the IIM of Ahmedabad, capital of Gujarat. Created in 1961, the institution did welcomes in its different MBA that the cream of students. Companies do wrong. Five days a year, they examine on-site records and notes, are talks... And recruit little or less any promo before even that she is out of the campus. Among the regulars: JP Morgan, HSBC and Deutsche Bank. Again this year, despite the adverse economic environment, 252 graduates have all found their foot shoe.
Such a level of excellence is not improvised. Associate Professor at the ESSEC business school and former student of IIMA, Ashok Som summarizes: "The IIMA is eighteen hours per day for 18 months."Remains that the pressure decreases in second year: courses are to one's choice and "for the Indians, who were sometimes already worked before entering at IIMA, he is almost a year of vacation", said Diane Gabriel. Student at the ESSEC business school, she chose in 2007-2008 to the dual degree proposed by his school and IIMA. It is thus part of the rare foreign students to have shared the second grade of a promo. Experience that it does not forget. As in an American University student life takes place on-site, on the "dorms" especially. These non-mixed dorms include each 30 single rooms distributed on three floors, with common showers and kitchen, meals are taken collectively. "The biggest surprise French students, it is discovered that a"business school"can function as a kibbutz!" fun Ashok Som. All in a green and quiet setting: with its 42 acres dotted with buildings in red brick or concrete streamlined, campus soothes. A haven of tranquillity in the heart of the anthill of Ahmedabad which, if it is home to the Sabarmati ashram, Gandhi, spent remains a very noisy city.
Very high level of requirement
Extra-académique life is organised by the end of first year, when began the campaign for the election of the Board of students. The elected officials to coordinate the Organization of events on campus. As a foreigner, "it is very easy to participate," observed Jacques Tiberghien, student at ESCP Europe, come spend two and a half months at IIMA this winter. Join the clubs in finance or strategy consulting, find partners for a tennis or a part of badminton is also reveals everything simple. "Students are very open," says the French.
But make no mistake: If teaching methods based on the case studies are based on those of Harvard or the jean is the garment of students, IIMA remains a very Indian Institute. Thalis in rice and spicy sauces served in the canteen are there to remind the foreigners. In two and a half months, Jacques Tiberghien confess, "is there is not it only".
The good child and very Merry student holiday spirit has also of what bewilder Westerners. The sound of firecrackers, Indian music, the way Bollywood works there replace without complex alcohol, banned in Gujarat. As to the availability of teachers, Jacques Tiberghien remembers of his surprise when the students in his class asked their teacher to move a review scheduled a Monday afternoon: "he was very serious issue of reporter Sunday evening midnight, which hampered person!" he says. Exotic, IIMA No doubt, but also very powerful. What French companies do not necessarily know. "I fear that most do not know the IIMA or not in are not really requirement level", notes Diane Gabriel. Called ignorance to disappear, however, because the weight of the India International increases at any speed.
