What it takes to organize a B-School Fest - Avenues 2014 at SJMSOM

Three weeks into our MBA course, one fine evening while going through my mail inbox, a certain mail caught my eye. The subject read “Avenues Volunteers”. Not sure what to expect, I clicked it open. The mail came with an attachment in the form of a Google documents form. It read out “We start off the selection process for Avenues 2014!!” and the form consisted of preferences to be filled regarding our choice of events, in which we want to volunteer for. “Why now?” I wondered aloud. It was just the end of July, and Avenues, the Business Festival of Shailesh J Mehta School of Management, IIT Bombay, doesn’t start before October end. Now, when there’s just a few more days to go, before the 3-day mega event actually starts, I realize what it actually takes to organize a business festival. Months of dedicated hard work from the Overall Coordinators and the Volunteers, meticulous planning and thoughtful innovations in framing new events is what is required to make sure that the event takes place without hassles and technical glitches.

IIM Kozhikode presents BACKWATERS 2014

Think Backwaters and you might be beguiled to think of the brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast of Kerala but IIM Kozhikode has redefined its meaning. What immediately comes to mind instead is a group of future management executives battling it out amongst themselves to emerge supreme. It represents a confluence point for management students in India as corporate honchos and academicians adjudicate over events dealing with leading burning issues. Backwaters’14 is here to stir up the inherent competitive spirit in every management student.

"I was never a topper in my undergraduate and school days" - B Ramakrishna, 1st Year MBA Topper - XLRI (HR)

Topping the first year of MBA in an elite B school, in the face of fierce competition is one of the rarest of rare achievements. Most of us would agree that it even beats being a 100 percentiler. At least 80-100 people are gunning for top spot and these are 80-100 of the best minds in the country. No doubt topping the first year is such phenomenal achievement that all batchmates, whether grudgingly or otherwise, have immense respect for the topper. It takes great determination, self-control and consistency to do well in all exams, to avoid slipping up at any stage.
