The life at IFIM College Campus is a fine balance
of fun and study. The vibrant Campus life affects
the after class and quality of living experience
significantly. Our advice to all ‘incoming students’
is: learn the fine art of getting settled, managing
the academic curriculum and then plunge into
extra/co-curricular activities. The best guide is
your Faculty Mentor assigned by the Principal
Mentor, who has rich experience in this regard.
The environment and culture of IFIM College is
geared to handle students with:
-
Dramatically different beliefs and philosophies.
-
Widely
divergent expectations.
-
A high
focus on academics, conservative and middle of the
road approach to cultural activities.
-
Different personalities and orientations.
-
An
adventuresome spirit.
Under the overall guidance, supervision & mentorship
of the Principal Mentor and Chairperson (Student
Affairs), the extra/co- curricular activities are
designed, structured, aligned to and integrated with
the academic framework. The level of independence
associated with the conduct of the
extra/co-curricular activities is quite amazing. But
at times, the whole excitement of being independent
can be dampened by an overwhelming sense of
ownership & responsibility (let us gently remind
ourselves that students are under training).
Each of the programmes & activities have a specific
timeline, learning objectives, desirable and
measurable outcomes, ensures high student
participation and requires oodles of creative energy
round the year. The events are successful, students
are happy and the learning’s quite diverse: expect
the unexpected, learn about the stages of cultural
adjustment, managerial skills, language proficiency
and the like.
Students at IFIM College enjoy themselves, are
helped to adjust socially and this collectively
impacts their overall academic performance
positively. There are plenty of stress busters and
culture shock relievers on Campus to get away from
the mundane academic routine. Hobby societies,
volunteer services, gymnasium, swimming pool,
intra/extra mural sports are some of them.
