Aditya Birla Scholarship, one of the most prestigious scholarships in India. It definitely is an honour to be an Aditya Birla Scholar. Well, I am not one, but I do know one - Anusha Ramachandran.

It’s final placement season and the anonymous apps and meme pages have become extremely active. One popular meme/post that does the rounds every year in every college is the “Best PoR on campus” post. To everyone who acclaims the best PoR on campus is a placecommer’s girlfriend/boyfriend, you do not want that PoR even if it got you a 1cr package.

The Ugly Side Of B-School Sports Tournaments

Sangram 2017; the annual sports meet between the south IIMs (IIM Bangalore, Kozhikode, Trichy and Vizag) ended on Sunday. It was hosted by IIM Kozhikode who were eventually crowned the champions. This seems like an arbitrary article up until here. But there is more to it than what meets the eye. Although the trophy was presented to IIM K at the end of the tournament, it would have been in everybody’s interest to award them the trophy at the start and then play the tournament! Read on to find out why…
