I had always been in a very protected environment and thought that is how the world will be. My first week at SITM and I realized that boy how wrong I had been. As a fresher, I was completely raw when I landed up on the beautiful Lavale campus and those two years shaped me into becoming the best version of me. Whether it was scurrying for classes, with a toast in one hand or staying up till late in the night to catch up on your assignments and committee work, there was a joy in everything and the friendships made have stood the test of time.
The well laid out curriculum with a mix of business and technology and an amazing set of faculty helped us be absolutely ready for the corporate world. The life lessons I learnt during my time at SITM are ones that I still bank upon whenever I am in a sticky situation. I'll conclude by saying that, what you become in life is ultimately in your hands but your institute is a place which prepares you with the tools to live your dream. For me that is what SITM is and I will be eternally grateful.
