SPJIMR recently conducted an event called “Writers’ night” on the theme “The year that was” which provided a platform to the students to come and showcase their writing skills in a bonfire setting under the starlit sky. Sudarshan Ravichandran and Lakshmi Narayanan ( both first year PGDM participants) presented their wonderful experiences of the year gone by in the form of poetry.
It's funny how somberly 2016 crept in. I remember taking a solo walk, at 6 am on 1st January 2016. I pompously like to call it the beginning of my Go-solo saga! I had spent the night in a room with my favourite people, as we ushered in another year of ticking bucket-list goals. Now I didn't remember much. The spoils of the night seemed distant, the embarrassing videos conveniently pushed out of the corners of the mind... why didn't I see the sunrise more often?! The first day of the new year sounded so officious to my mind, yet the man and woman sweeping the dried leaves off the lawns did not notice anything special about it. Days crept in, days crept out. In all the bustling of the early morning, I walked on impassively, promising myself that this year will not just trickle by. This will be the year of change! In fact, it was only the previous night that I set my heart on going down the MBA road (until then forms and exams were only just mechanical). Thankfully, exactly two and a half months later, I had the opportunity to take the plunge!
While I was pursuing my engineering, I knew for sure that one day I would get into a premier B-school for an MBA. It was October 2016 when a new journey of my life started; it was when I started my march to an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad. The picture of my first day at IMT Ghaziabad campus is still very lucid in my mind. I reached the campus in afternoon and was greeted by Prateek, who was a first year PGDM student known to me even before I got into IMT. He showed me the canteen, where I had paranthas and a brief discussion with him. I then tried exploring the lush green campus on my own and was amazed to see its beauty, had ice-cream in dinner and looked around for something I would interest me.
SPJIMR records another spectacular season of placements for the outgoing batch of 2017.

TEDx – Before I came to XIMB, it was something that I had just heard of and never experienced. My friends used to say that it is a great event with great speakers and speeches that leave the audience enthralled and in awe. I questioned this, and wondered, what is so different about this event? Whenever I thought about it or imagined the event, all I could picturise was drab, monotonous speeches that went on for hours – something that was a regular affair at my school assemblies. Little did I know that this was something way different!
