Immersion Program for PhD WP 2022 & 2023 Batch

Wisdom Speeks

Bibhu Deb Scholar, Doctoral Program (WP) Batch- 2022

The overall experience of the recent immersion program was highly satisfying. Nothing quite matches the energy of in-person meetings. We had the privilege of attending the dynamic pre-conference sessions of iMarC, setting the tone for the immersion program. Professor Weng Marc Lim’s session stood out as a captivating highlight, offering profound insights. Professor Murugan’s SLR classes were instrumental in bringing clarity to complex concepts. Moreover, the opportunity to engage with supervisors and TAC members fostered fruitful idea exchanges. Meetings with the Director, Dean (Academics), and Dean (Research) provided valuable perspectives on the institute’s expectations. The Ph.D. Chairperson’s reassurance of the institute’s high standards left a lasting impression, giving us a clear understanding of what lies ahead.

Harish Scholar, Doctoral Program (WP) Batch- 2023

The immersion program was a very well-crafted program. The Chief Guest of the program, Mr. Lim gave important insights on skills required to write a good paper that I can immediately apply. The ease with which he taught and made everything look so easy gave us a lot of confidence. Important topics were covered and emphasized, deepening my understanding and broadening my perspective. Session on Time Series Analysis and PLS- SEM were also very helpful and gave us enough food for thought.

I would have loved to stay in the Campus close to the professors to have more time for interactions and that is one area which the PhD office can explore for our next immersion. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to any scholar.

Mohit Sanguri Scholar, Doctoral Program (WP) Batch- 2023

“I attended the immersion program at IIM Shillong from 28 Jan 2024 to 02 Feb 2024, and I must say it was a very enriching and rewarding experience. The preconference workshop covered PLS-SEM, Time Series Analysis, and Paper development workshop for early-stage researchers. The instructors were very knowledgeable and engaging, and they explained the concepts and techniques with clarity and practical examples. I learned a lot from the sessions and gained valuable insights on how to conduct rigorous and impactful research. I also had the opportunity to network with other researchers and faculty members and exchange ideas and feedback. The immersion program was well-organized and facilitated by the IIM Shillong team, and I appreciate their hospitality and support. I would highly recommend the PhD program to anyone who wants to enhance their research skills and knowledge and learn from the best in the field.”

Dileep Narayanan Scholar, Doctoral Program (WP) Batch- 2023

“Participating in the immersion program at IIM Shillong from January 28 to February 1, 2024, was an incredibly enriching and beneficial experience for me. The program introduced me to novel subjects through pre-conference workshops, laying a solid foundation for my research journey. Among the highlights was the session led by a distinguished professor from Malaysia, whose simplicity and encouragement profoundly reassured me of my ability to complete my PhD program successfully.

The faculty at IIM Shillong demonstrated remarkable expertise, clearly explaining complex concepts and techniques and offering practical examples that greatly enhanced my understanding. This experience has significantly broadened my perspective on conducting rigorous and impactful research.
