I quit the job, prepared for the management entrance exams and scored well enough to get into some of the best management colleges in the country. Being a Keralite all my life, this was my golden chance to explore my opportunities across India. Thus began the research to find the institute that\u2019s the best fit for my aspirations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4675\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_3\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_3.jpg 718w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>2 months and tons of research later, I was at IILM Greater Noida\u2019s entrance for my interview. IILM\u2019s 3 Palmes of excellence ranking making it officially recognized in the category of \u201cexcellent business school with reinforcing international influence\u201d by Eduniversal, making it a top B-School offering a PGDM program, was one prime reason for IILM being my go-to choice after several shortlisting stages. Visiting the splendid campus further reinforced the validity of my choice. My management entrance success ensured a 50% scholarship. Yippee! I interacted with the faculty and as my course ensued, I realized that IILM has a dynamic yet structured program with top notch teaching methodology including the concept of flipped class, where the student gets an opportunity to be the teacher and discuss concepts with the professor being a facilitator to clarify the outcome of the discussion enhanced through case studies and course materials by Harvard and many other global universities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4674\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_2.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The global study program was a high point of the program with the opportunity to visit Dortmund, Germany as a foreign student at ISM, Dortmund for 4 weeks. I for one, used to the opportunity to the max by visiting 7 European countries over weekends, as we had a Schengen visa. The 4 weeks at ISM gave me a deep understanding of international concepts around Intercultural communication, strategic management, International Finance and Operations Management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4677\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_5-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_5\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis_5.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The industry exposure offered at IILM was world class as we had international faculty visiting the campus for specific courses in each trimester apart from the well qualified Ph.D. professors and lecturers coaching and mentoring me to be the best version of myself, both personally and professionally. The experiential learning I obtained as opposed to theoretical ramming one has experienced with the conventional educational system was a game changer in making me ready to face any and all challenges that I would face as a prospective manager and impacted my perception of the corporate world as a seasoned professional. This helped me in my placement at Protiviti Consulting, a U.S based consulting firm as a research associate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis-convo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4679 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis-convo-300x280.jpg\" alt=\"IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis-convo\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis-convo-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iilm.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IILM-Alumnus-Joseph-Davis-convo.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Then came the convocation day. I was awarded the gold medal for the best academic and co-curricular performance over the 2 years at IILM. The grand ceremony hadn\u2019t marked the end of my relationship with this spectacular management institute, but it had evolved into a beautiful connect as an alma mater which I continue to this day. 3 years later, I was back as a guest speaker at the International Sustainability conference representing my company. It was indeed a proud moment being back to impart some insights to the next set of intelligent minds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">My journey with IILM still continues and looking back, I am grateful to the almighty for helping me stick with my decision to choose IILM. To anyone who reads this, life at IILM will certainly change you for the better. Metamorphosis at IILM is real.
