The passing out batches brought many laurels to the institute in various pursuits during their stay at IIM Udaipur. While significantly enhancing the student activities started by the Pioneer Batch, the Class of 2013, a host of student clubs were started by this passing out class which include dHRuva - The HR Club of IIMU, IRIS - The Photography Club of IIMU, MarClan - The Marketing Club of IIMU, MERC - The Merchandising Committee of IIMU, PiE - The Economics Club of IIMU, Saksham - The Entrepreneurship Club of IIMU, Silvertongues - The Toastmasters Club of IIMU, SKEIN - The Operations Club of IIMU and Pwnd - The Gaming Club of IIMU.
These two classes also helped in laying the values in the foundation of IIM Udaipur's functioning by adopting the Constitution and Code of Conduct and electing the first Academic Council and the Council of Student Affairs to exercise the students' rights and duties as well as to check the academic governance of the institute.
The Flagships events of IIMU were conducted on a larger and grander scale with perfection due to the executional experience brought in by the batches. The values which IIMU inculcates in its every student manager made a lot of noise in the media with various social responsibility activities conducted in campus orchestrated by the people of these batches helping directly and indirectly a lot of people in the Udaipur community.
The students also won accolades in the International Universities where they went for Student Exchange Programmes (STEP) and International Companies where the students interned and did projects in International Business Practices Programmes (IBP).
The classes also did exceptionally well in Live Projects with various industrial organizations helping them with their management acumen and also in the Summer Internships in which many companies even offered Pre-Placement Offers (PPO) to the students. Special achievements were achieved in their feat at various students competitions in India and abroad by students viz., Prateek Shukla, Vivek Batra, Anusha Ganne, S. Prashant and Rahul Agrawal in Bloomberg Aptitude Tests (BAT) and Arpit Mehra, Biswarup Das, Rahul Dsouza and Rahul Pandey in Indo - US Global Operations Conference, 2013.
Many students have started their professional journeys with their own entrepreneurial ventures and the rest have begun their careers with taking up the job offers extended to them by reputed corporations of India and abroad.
The students were joined by their proud parents and the faculty who mentored them in achieving this feat in this important moment of their lives. The students were wished all the best by the faculty, staff, guests and director of the institute for starting a new chapter in their careers and their lives ahead. With the caps flown into the air, the students added yet another feather in their caps, of being an IIMU Graduate. And they remain the true Pride and the real Insignia of IIM Udaipur.
And the students and faculties shared their memoirs and wishes with their testimonials, some of them delineated below.
The ride was full of fun, laughter, excitement, parties, late-night studies, life-long friendships, hour-long enmities, never-ending assignments and inhumane study schedules. Those brief yet memorable moments that made the journey worthwhile. Now, that the roller coaster is coming to an end, it’s time to say #thankyouIIMU (Rahul Agrawal, PGP Class of 2014)

#thankyouIIMU I am obliged to IIMU for giving me an opportunity to not only learn business management but also become a better person. (Vaibhav Narain, PGPX Class of 2014)
There are a lot of things am thankful for at Indian Institute Of Management Udaipur - IIMU.. starting with this monstrous download speed! .. #ThankyouIIMU (Ishan Raj Bhardwaj, PGP Class of 2014)
Its all started with a 5X5 room shared with a guy from Banaras
in a hostel named after a famous mathematician Ramanujam
inhabited by 29 similar chaps with a questions in mind
“kya humne sahi kiya”
None of us felt suffocated when such a room is stuffed by all 29
Whether its an exam night or making a fun of our plight
Over the years, I hope batches will give our analogy
But I still wonder “Isn’t RHKL an ideology”
A change from RHKL guy to an MDS boy was equally exciting
A place with love and little fighting
The limits have been broken here with the help of you all
whether its roaming freely late night for Poha or walking on the ramp
I have been able to realize my true potential at IIMU
And will attribute my transformation to a selected few
Someone says “I think a lot on trivial matters”
It's good as thinking is a function of mind which will fade away with time
But not the moments which I have spent from the start
Not with the application of mind but of heart
Memories will be erased as each of us will get busy in our life
But not the experiences which will stay till eternity
and that what the life is
A journey and not the end (Aadish Jain, PGP Class of 2014)
A journey that started two years ago with a simple FB status msg sayin "Finally IIM".... now ends......Thank You IIM Udaipur (Aasif Ali Khan, PGP Class of 2014)

A DREAM CAME TRUE !
Finally years of hard work and determination paid off. It's been a wonderful journey to say the least and the concluding ceremony became even more blissful by the presence of my parents. All in all, feeling a sense of pride and emotions for having achieved this feat and seeing the happiness in the eyes of my parents. (Rahul Verma, PGP Class of 2014)
#thankyouIIMU Exciting time passed by so soon....BONDED FOR LIFE!!! (Ravindran Damodaran, PGPX Class of 2014)
While the four years of MIT life thought me "What life is", two years of IIMU life is teaching me "Who I am and what I am capable of", my greatest learning yet; My journey here started with the lots of negative feeling; But "The Biggest learning experience in life always starts with the negative feeling": I learned it theoretically as well as practically here. #thankyouIIMU (Jagadeesh Jana, PGP Class of 2014)
Was all set to leave for Delhi. Got my confirmation mail from IIM Udaipur one night before... decide to chuck everything else.. And what a wonderful decision that is turning out to be... All set for 2 months of internship with GE India...#thankyouIIMU (Edwin James, PGP Class of 2015)
