What is the international immersion program at IIM Sirmaur?

This program recently initiated by IIM Sirmaur targets students who want International Exposure. It’s actually a rich blend of the IIM curriculum and added exposure to international business practices, strategic operations management, and current issues in the European markets. The duration of the program is 1 month. The pedagogy comprises industry visits and weekend trips which facilitate classroom learning and help the students comprehend the context better. For a better understanding, let me narrate my sister's experience. She flew to Milan, the fashion capital of the world. On the weekdays the entire focus was given to studying at SDA Bocconi and weekends were a getaway for traveling and exploring. She describes the teaching method as spectacular. The faculty was very experienced and highly learned and taught them to find the solutions to the toughest problem in the simplest and most systematic way. The industry visit to Ferrari and Maserati was the cherry on the cake. She was also able to explore Europe's famous places like Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Lugano Lake, Mont Brie, Genova, etc., and the marvelous architecture of Rome, Florence, and Pisa. All in all, she claims that the experience of IIP broadened her mindset and perspective to see things from different dimensions. It provided a sense of self-development and made her realize that the world is filled with unlimited opportunities.
