Experience at IILM

I joined IILM in late august about 2 weeks after the starting of the collage. Coming from a place like Bangalore which is very different from Gurgaon but the transition was very comfortable to here and I was accepted here with an open mind. At that time the zero term was on with basics of all subjects being taught to us as well as activities such as role play, music classes and personality development. This really helped us by providing a good base for our introduction into the Bradford system of learning. Then the first term started with us being introduced into new subjects like organisational behaviour, business law and student self development and a base of economics, accounts and marketing being taught to us. Phew it was tough but fun too. I Enjoyed every bit of it. 

A lot of emphasis was put by the lecturers about these bases which proved to be very useful in the second semester. In which the level of the subjects went up a notch and our basics where put to the test. New subjects also came up like sociology of work and research skills, which helped us in dealing with people how they work and how best we can research on topics.

A lot of interesting guest lecturers also took place with lecturers coming from different industries giving us their experiences and how they went about their growth success. At the same time there were also a lot of personal interactions taking place between the students and the lectures about helping us choose our subjects for the 2nd year which really helped us make our final choice.


Now that I have reached the second year I am really thankful that I've taken up this course offered by
Bradford and IILM which gives me the international exposure in terms of learning which in today's world is a key ingredient for success in this one world economy.

  1. Hey,

    Well life at iilm have been a roller coaster ride.. its been good , bad and hectic.. When i joined iilm i was sure that i want to be a 'successful entrepreneur' but the question was 'HOW'.. gradually as i moved on with various courses in iilm my problem was solved and the question was very well answered..

    iilm not only gave me confidence to talk in front of crowd but it also tought me how to work in group.. well the truth is i am short tempered and which cannot be changed but when i started working in group for various assignments i came to know the disadvantage of anger in group because at the end of the day flexibility is very essential for all the managers to perform well.. subsequently i realized tht controlling my anger and curiosity will give me best result will working in a group..

    i am also thank full tht iilm provide a throe professional way in which i can enhance my strength and work on my weakness..

    i m indeed honored to be part of such prestigious institute...

    njoy..!!
