Thousands of minds, millions of thoughts, across ages and stages, an amalgamation of hopes, desires, passions and inclinations; all Lucknowites brought together at the heart of the city by one word: INDEX. What is INDEX? A fun night out for families, to feast on the choicest cuisines, engage in a multitude of fun games, and browse through gorgeous handicrafts? Or a time for teens to put on their dancing shoes and groove to the beats at the DJ nights and concerts, or prepare to shine as Mr or Ms INDEX, or the champion of Footloose or RJ Hunt, or just “hang”? Or is it a time for the young professionals to loosen their ties, ease off their blazers and lose themselves in two nights of fun and excitement?
Sanskriti 2015 - A War was fought. Amidst sleepless nights and jam-packed schedules, the students of IIM Trichy managed to conjure up a show so stunning that it was really a Battle of Entertainment rather than the purported Battle of Sections. The participants from both sections danced their hearts out while basking in the limelight, spreading smiles and making memories.
IIM Shillong’s Golf Cup Season 8 culminated successfully on November 8. The annual B-school tournament was hosted over November 7-8, and saw participation from over 100 pioneering golfers, cutting across government, academia, and industry. The tournament, first of its kind for any business school in India, is a unique and well woven event which facilitates industry- academia participation and encourages professionals to “Look East”. The event this year, like in the previous years was hosted with great fanfare, with a series of pre events like the Plenary session, “Run for Shillong” marathon to name a few. As part of the student committee involved in organising the event, I was reaking in different emotions at distinct times; anxiety, excitement, exhaustion, but as I look back, the overpowering feeling has been that of satisfaction and joy.
Internships and Live Projects are fast becoming the preferred way to learn the practical aspects of management, both for students and companies. We look at some of our students’ experiences in this area to understand this trend.
