During my internship at the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA), I worked in the Global Strategy department, where my role involved devising plans to attract more tourists from different countries. My experience was fantastic. Mauritius is not only stunningly beautiful but also has a wonderful work environment. The people are incredibly helpful, and I learned a lot during my time there. I believe there are plenty of opportunities for growth, making it a great option for students seeking to network and carve a career outside India.

I am Manish Sharma from the MBA Tourism batch of 2023-2025. I had the opportunity to do my summer internship at the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority. Today, as I look back, I realize that Mauritius has so many opportunities to offer to students like us. The people are so welcoming, and we feel so at home. Working as a marketing trainee during this international internship gave me invaluable skills and immersed me in a vibrant culture. It was a fantastic opportunity for growth and learning. I would encourage students not to miss the opportunity to go to Mauritius, learn from a different cultural environment, and gain the international exposure that we do not have while being in India.  

A campus in the midst of mountains and hills, with a very peaceful environment and plenty of dizzy breezes. Yes, this was our campus, and we students were very grateful for such beautiful surroundings. Even after going through such a drastic change from online to offline mode, all of us are highly overwhelmed with our journey. From giving online presentations to standing in front of the class and giving them offline, from interacting just with a bunch of people online to connecting with all others on campus, this is how the students of Batch'23 have spent their MBA life.

I had the privilege of attending this prestigious institution, and I can confidently say that it has been one of the most valuable experiences of my life. The faculty members at IIM Sirmaur go above and beyond to ensure that students have a thorough understanding of the subject matter and are well-equipped to succeed in their careers. The curriculum is rigorous and challenging, but it is also well-structured and provides students with a comprehensive understanding of business principles and practices. In addition to the academic curriculum, I was fortunate enough to start my own startup with seed funding in my final year. This exposure to real-world experiences and perspectives has been invaluable to my personal and professional growth. Overall, IIM Sirmaur has provided me with an excellent education and a strong foundation for my career. I would highly recommend this institution to anyone looking to pursue a career in business or management.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela I am honored to share my experience with the esteemed institution, IIM Sirmaur, located near the picturesque Himalayan range. This institute has proven to be a beacon of hope for aspiring individuals who wish to make a positive impact on the world through education. From the moment I stepped onto the campus, I was struck by the serene beauty of the surroundings. The lush greenery and the towering mountains provided the perfect backdrop for a learning environment that is both stimulating and peaceful. There are over 25 clubs and committees to choose from, and I am glad to have been part of the placement committee, which helped me improve my soft skills in more ways than I could express.

IIM Sirmaur truly transforms an individual during their two years of tenure. Batch 07 started its journey online, letting students study and experience a very different side of the journey. The institute has proven to be a beacon of hope for aspiring individuals who wish to make an impact on the world. When we visited the campus for the very first time, every single one of us fell in love with the aura of IIM Sirmaur. The journey started like a magnificent sunrise, with students interacting through their laptop screens. Students have now broken the laptop screen setup. They are now out on campus, playing, giggling, discussing their future plans, and, of course, meeting at the canteen to dance to their favorite hook step of their song as the journey winds down like a peaceful winter sunset.

Having graduated from the prestigious Tata Institute of Social Sciences and on track to chart my career in administration and governance, IIM Sirmaur was a choice catalyst to amplify and redefine the contours of my potential. The scientifically structured programmes and the measured buoyancies they ensure to both freshers and experienced candidates make the ecosystem at IIM Sirmaur a quintessential soundboard for budding managers and administrators. Coming from a traditionally agrarian family and being a first-generation post-graduate, our institute of national importance never made me feel out-of-place, so much so that I topped the First year and secured the Merit Scholarship, further enabling me to explore my capabilities. During my time at the Himalayan IIM, I also served as a Placement Coordinator, forging relations with Corporate denominations and setting the benchmark that is IIM Sirmaur, in the industry. I would recommend IIM Sirmaur wholeheartedly to all aspiring managers that feel the need to professionally decorate and accentuate their acumen. The mountains can never do you wrong!

IIM Sirmaur, surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Himalayas, provides a truly unique and breathtaking setting for learning and growth. As a student, it far exceeded my expectations. From the supportive faculty to the challenging coursework, my time at this institution has been transformative. Extracurricular activities and clubs enabled me to pursue interests outside of the classroom. My college experience was enhanced by live projects, community service, and cultural events. The campus environment fosters creativity and collaboration. I was fortunate to be a part of this vibrant learning community. Exploring new places with friends was a fantastic experience full of adventure, laughter, and memories to last a lifetime. I had unparalleled opportunities, whether trekking through the mountains, studying the region's rich cultural heritage, or exploring places to eat. IIM Sirmaur provided excellent preparation for my career and personal development. I recommend this college for a challenging and rewarding college experience.

I am thrilled to share my experience of the 2-year MBA program at IIM Sirmaur, which has been an incredible journey of personal and professional growth. The rigorous curriculum, combined with experiential learning opportunities, has helped me develop a holistic understanding of the business world. The faculty at IIM Sirmaur are knowledgeable, approachable, and have challenged me to think critically and creatively. The diverse student body has allowed me to learn from peers from different backgrounds and cultures, fostering a rich learning environment. Beyond academics, the institute offers a plethora of opportunities to develop soft skills and leadership abilities.

The campus is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a well-stocked library, sports amenities, and modern classrooms. Overall, IIM Sirmaur has been an excellent platform for me to pursue my career aspirations, and I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences I have gained here.

IIM Sirmaur instills a feeling of pride in my mind and soul. The most memorable moments were the sleepless nights while doing tasks during student body selection, academics, and participating in different competitions. These things helped me bond with people, and I will cherish this bond forever. Being part of different student bodies helped me learn about organizing events, team management, and other basics of management that the books can't teach. But the time spent on the campus is worth remembering. Being the Sports secretary, I handled multiple stakeholders. I got hands-on experience in different domains such as social media marketing, drafting the budget, approvals from admin, quotations, procurement, etc. Such opportunities were presented to me by IIM Sirmaur and I would be forever grateful for them. Even in the time of the Pandemic, I never felt my education was compromised. The infrastructure was scaled up to accommodate the needs of the students and the demands of the situation. Such was the flexibility and the support of faculty and administration. MBA was my ambition and it has been my privilege to be a part of the IIM Sirmaur fraternity.
