How is the campus life at IIM Ranchi??

Hey there! Let me give you a quick glimpse into life at IIM Ranchi.

Hostel Life:
We stay at the National Sports Housing Complex, which was used for the 2011 National Games in Ranchi. The place is stunning! Each of us gets our own room, and most have an attached bathroom or a balcony. The bathrooms have geysers because we need them almost all year round, and the balconies offer a beautiful view of the greenery around us. We share flats with friends, making it feel like living in our own apartments, complete with cleaning services, laundry, and drinking water on various floors.

Sports Facilities:
Being IIM Ranchi students, we have access to the Khelgaon Sports Complex. It's just a couple of minutes from our hostels and is perfect for preparing for inter-college competitions or hosting our own events.

Food:
Getting food is easy. We can order from tuck shops on campus until midnight and from the Night Canteen after that.

College Events:
We don't have a permanent campus, so our events like Radix, the Business Conclave, and TEDxIIMRanchi take place at top hotels in the city. It's a bit more work but loads of fun. Our institute has partnerships with all the top hotels and restaurants in town for any event, whether for college, clubs, or personal occasions.

Classroom Facilities:
The college building is right in the city, so everything you need, like groceries or clothes, is within 3 km. If you're not into mess food, you can grab a quick meal at nearby restaurants during breaks. The hostels and college are in different places, but buses run whenever needed. The bus ride, about 30 minutes, is perfect for catching up on readings or case studies before classes.

Trips and Breaks:
Ranchi's location is great for weekend escapes after busy weeks. There are plenty of waterfalls and dams to explore, with easy transportation. Since the hostel isn't in the city center, buses run to the city on weekends for shopping and fun, so no need for cabs or bikes. We also use the Khelgaon Community Hall for weekend hangouts and parties.

Living without a permanent campus has its challenges, but we all work together to create amazing memories!

College Infrastructure:
IIM Ranchi doesn't have its own permanent campus, which is a major downside. The temporary campus is only partially used by IIM Ranchi, with just a few floors occupied. Classrooms are okay, but because of the growing number of students, they've had to rent an extra place called the Satellite Campus. Unfortunately, the classrooms there aren't great for learning and make it tough for teachers and students to connect outside of class.

There's also no auditorium for events or meetings, so they have to use auditoriums or hotels from other places.

Hostel Infrastructure:
The hostel setup is quite nice, with single rooms for everyone. The food in the mess is alright too. However, the sports facilities aren't adequate. You might hear about a nearby stadium, but access isn't easy, so it shouldn't be counted as part of the hostel facilities.

Commute between Hostel & College:
Traveling between the hostel and college takes about 30 minutes. So for a class at 9 am, you need to leave by 8:15 am. If there's a 2-3 hour gap between classes, it's hard to go back to the hostel during that time.

Hey there! I'm a PGDM student at IIM Ranchi from the 17-19 batch, and I'd love to share what campus life is like here. Even though we don't have our own permanent campus yet, life at IIM Ranchi is pretty awesome. Our hostel is in the Khelgaon Housing complex, about 30 minutes from where classes take place. The hostel is a highlight, offering each student their own room with an attached bathroom. It's located a bit outside the city, which makes the surroundings calm and peaceful.

On campus, you'll often find students busy with their assignments in the common room or the mess area. There's also a cafeteria where you can grab late-night snacks and chill with friends. For those into sports, there's a sports complex just a 5-minute walk from the hostel where you can join in on various activities. We have events now and then, like bonfires and dandiya nights, which are super fun.

Overall, campus life at IIM Ranchi is something to really look forward to, alongside the great academics and amazing faculty. Every day here is memorable, and being part of this community is something special.
