I am kind of an introvert. Is my life going to be tough at IIM Bangalore?

Because of the way the courses, pedagogy, and hostel stay are designed at IIM Bangalore, the transition from introvert to socializer is seamless. Take things at your own pace, avoid peer pressure, and you will gradually notice the transformation. You'll gradually gain confidence in interacting with others and attending parties.

Here are some of the ways IIMB can assist you:

• Group Projects: Group projects are required in 90% of IIMB courses and account for a significant portion of the grade. This would be carried over into your professional career. The course will gradually acquaint you with collaborative methods and prepare you for the future. And group projects are about more than just work. It's thrilling.

• Clubs and Societies: You will be a part of groups that plan events and put on successful festivals. Even if you are not a member of a club, you can gain experience by volunteering at events.

• Case Study: Most of the subjects here are taught using a case study method, which requires you to discuss in groups to get multiple people's perspectives on each case. Believe me, case studies work best in groups, and the interactions can teach you a lot about different points of view.

Being an introvert does not imply that you are a poor communicator. That is the most important skill, and it is what an MBA will teach you. Yes, life at IIMB would be difficult for you, but not because you are an introvert. You will look back on those two years at IIMB as some of the best of your life. So, if you are afraid to join IIMB because you are an introvert, you can overcome that fear.
