What's more, all the drama and music enthusiasts too have good reason to cheer. Pratibimb, the flagship street play event is guaranteed to draw the crowds as is Distortion' s Battle of the Bands which will witness performances by top bands like Vintage Cassette and KillKount.

All this, and more, goes to prove that IRIS is and has been unique in that it combines events spanning the gamut of not only management but also other social and cultural themes. Most of these events can claim to be one-of-a-kind and their surging popularity among participants from all over the country bears testimony to that- the flagship events alone draw registrations in thousands.

Ashwamedha, for instance, occupies pride of place and is one of the most awaited events. It draws a parallel with the ancient Vedic ritual by the same name and evokes an extremely enthusiastic response from the students with its unpredictable and multi-disciplinary approach. Chanakya, the consulting event, elicits an equally passionate response with participants formulating and implementing strategies, gauging trends and soliciting feedback, all in a corporate context to simulate consulting in big organizations. Moreover, certain events like Klueless can boast of a decade-long legacy and a huge fan following.

The business community, too, keeps a watchful eye on the proceedings. This, after all, is a fest that is worth the hype it generates since the outcomes it leads to last beyond the short run. Kaplavriksha, for instance, has a long standing history of creating success stories that have contributed significantly to society. This Social B-Plan competition provides a stage where the aspiration to be an agent of change in society is combined with pragmatism to create sound and socially relevant business plans that have the potential to succeed and to make a difference.

IRIS 2014 witnessed a spectacular turnout with students from over 40 B-schools vying for the coveted titles. This year, the scale and reach are set to increase. With 24 events, 32 sponsors and a record number of registrations in a short span of time, it is evident that the popularity of IRIS is on the rise.

To put it all together, IRIS 2015 is going to give you the experience of a lifetime. Be there and experience for yourself the heady concoction of challenges and opportunities, of fun and excitement unprecedented that is IRIS 2015!
