Life At The Institute of Finance and International Management

The life at IFIM Business School Campus is a fine balance of fun and study. The vibrant Campus life affects the after class and quality of living experience significantly. Their advice to all ‘incoming students’ is: learn the fine art of getting settled, managing the academic curriculum and then plunge into extra/co-curricular activities. The best guide is your Faculty Mentor assigned by the Principal Mentor, who has rich experience in this regard.

The environment and culture of IFIM Business School is geared to handle students with:
  • Dramatically different beliefs and philosophies.
  • Widely divergent expectations.
  • A high focus on academics, conservative and middle of the road approach to cultural activities.
  • Different personalities and orientations.
    An adventuresome spirit.
Under the overall guidance, supervision & mentorship of the Principal Mentor and Chairperson (Student Affairs), the extra/co- curricular activities are designed, structured, aligned to and integrated with the academic framework. The level of independence associated with the conduct of the extra/co-curricular activities is quite amazing. But at times, the whole excitement of being independent can be dampened by an overwhelming sense of ownership & responsibility (let us gently remind ourselves that students are under training).

Each of the programmes & activities have a specific timeline, learning objectives, desirable and measurable outcomes, ensures high student participation and requires oodles of creative energy round the year. The events are successful, students are happy and the learning’s quite diverse: expect the unexpected, learn about the stages of cultural adjustment, managerial skills, language proficiency and the like.

Students at IFIM Business School enjoy themselves, are helped to adjust socially and this collectively impacts their overall academic performance positively. There are plenty of stress busters and culture shock relievers on Campus to get away from the mundane academic routine. Hobby societies, volunteer services, gymnasium, swimming pool, intra/extra mural sports are some of them.
