Life @ IIFT Delhi

Life @ IIFT Delhi starts off at 5:30 in the morning, when your roommate wakes you up for the impending Yoga session at 6:00 AM. The regular procrastinator that you are, you sit up on your sleepy a*&, momentarily, just to make your concerned roommate happy. Once the roommate fizzes out into the bathroom to do the regular chores, you fall back, only to be punched hard after 15 minutes. Suddenly realization dawns…damn…yoga is compulsory, and yes…u need to maintain the 75% attendance critireon.

One hour of the sacred suryanamaskaras and the pranayamas make sure that whatever little remnants of sleep that's left in you vanishes. You get back to your room at 7:00 AM, and start getting ready for your classes.

The classes keep you occupied till 6:30 (sometimes, even 8:30) in the evening, with intervals that can range from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your fortune for the day.
The classes are intertwined sporadically with visits from eminent corporates like Larry Murphy (COO, UBS) (loads and loads of gyaan ).

6:30 - 9:30 can involve any of these:
- A power Nap
- Bakar
- Club interactions (Fin, Marketing, Trade, Consulting & Entrepreneurship)
- Shopping (SIM Cards are of utmost priority in this sector )
- A brief visit to the hospital if u're one of those Delhi-Viral-Victims (quite a few of them were down in the first week)
- An introspective swell of pride - the General euphoria about how great a place IIFT is (or) Resenting on the biggest mistake you've made till date - opting for an MBA - and discussing it with your batchmates (believe you me, this is undoubtedly the best way to get to know your batchmates)
- Coursework (only if you've got nothing better to do )

A brief dinner later, 10:00 sharp, the PDPs start and the interaction game begins. Talent shows, freak intros, skits, advertising campaigns...they've got it all. You are free any minute from 2.30 - 3:00 AM, and then you retire for the day...only to find yourself being kicked on your a*& two hours later.

Added info:
IIFT generally doesn't have the funda of weekends...U are loaded 24X7 ... if u'd ask me, I'd say that we're damn lucky to have a weekend in between...created a new record of sorts by sleeping for 18 hours on the trot .
