“My stay in IIMC Dhenkanal was one of the best times of my life. It was more like picnic on the hill top for whole one year. I still remember how disheartened I was when I got seat there and not in Delhi but later I didn’t even want to leave the place for puja holidays. Wish I can turn back the time and go there as a student once more,” remembers Ngathingpei Khayi.
He continues, “Taking this wonderful opportunity I want to thank starting from Mr. Chawla who helped me in filling up the prospectus, Prof. (Late) KM Shrivastava who grilled me in interview with his witty questions, Prof. Mrinal Chatterjee for teaching me the nuisance of journalism and all the staff in IIMC Dhenkanal for being a part in my IIMC story.”
