Games and Titles: Another Eventful Week

IMNU had a hectic yet fun-filled week as it saw two exciting events back to back. The HR club "Imprintz" and the "Expressions" club organised successful events, both of which saw great turnout and participation from the IMNU batch.

Imprintz- The HR club of IMNU organized its second event of the season “Funterviews” on 27th September, 2011. Focused on team work and co-ordination among the team members, the event consisted of two rounds- the first about an HR game and a second interview round. The game was about connecting the jumbled letters in a word by the blind folded member of the team who was guided by the other member. Then in the interview round, the participants were interviewed in a team, but there was a catch, the participants had to be humorous and creative in their answers. Out-of-box thinking was mandatory. The candidates were judged on the criteria of humor, creativity and co-ordination in giving answers with the team members. The event saw a good participation and was flawlessly executed. It was judged by the “Imprintz” club seniors and the top spot was claimed Hardik and Hiren of MBA-FT 2011-13.

The other highly anticipated event, War of Clubs and Committees, organized by the Expressions Club, was held on Thursday, September 28, 2011. It also saw an amazing response from the first year students. Participants were extremely sacrosanct about their respective teams and the roar could be heard far away in other classrooms. The event had fun-filled games like picture-based memory test, taboo and movie quiz to the participants' and audiences' delight. The audience too cheered their favorite teams throughout. This time NCNC (No Club No Committee) of Phaerenikes walked away as winners whereas Sportzcomm did an encore by standing 1st runners-up. There was audience participation as well through games like boys wearing saree while girls were directing them.

 To sum up, one can say that IMNU arrived, and it arrived big!!

The fortnight that was...

It’s been a happening fortnight for IMNU with clubs and committees unleashing a barrage of events adding vibrancy to the campus.

To begin with Niche, the marketing Club organized two events i-MAD the AdWAR and Brand-o-Goonj which were major crowd pullers. The event was truly a clash of the creatives and saw several unique and interesting ‘Big Ideas ’for advertisements emerge from the inventive teams of 2011-2013 batch.

Finesse club took the initiative to dispel all fears about accountancy for those who are new to the subject. The event Asset=Liability was an interactive session conducted by Chintan Bhandari (FT-I) who is also a Chartered Accountant. In the session the concepts of accountancy were brushed up and all doubts regarding the different case studies were clarified. The objective was to provide a strong foundation so that students can build on in later courses across the spectrum of financial management. The session was truly helpful and instilled confidence in all to face the approaching exams.

As its ice breaking event, Swayam- the entrepreneurship club organized a grand Treasure Hunt competition which saw 22 groups of three members each, putting on their thinking caps and relentlessly spanning the length and breadth of IMNU in search of the elusive treasure. The team of Shantanu, Randeep and Anurag (FT-I) were the first to find their way to the treasure through the maze of tricky clues on entrepreneurship and were declared the winners. The second prize was bagged by the team of Nakul, Punit and Dhrumil (FB-I)

The Cloth Drive organized by Saral was a huge success. Saral members and IMNU folks celebrated the birthday of Kajal, a 7 year old kid from the basti. The basti kids have no idea about their birthdays so Saral started this tradition of celebrating the birthday of one Saral kid along with the birthday of Saral members. Kajal started attending school from last month owing to the concerted efforts of Saral members to encourage the construction workers living in the basti to send their children to school. Special thanks to Manoj Jacob, Rajiv Mehra and Zubin Tilwankar for making it musical and memorable for KAJAL and all those present outside mess to celebrate the occasion.

Imprints-the HR Club went a step further by providing platform for the students to combine their analytical left brain with their artistic and creative right brain in the event ‘Spicture’. Here the teams were shown a picture that is actually a combination of two personalities. The teams had to identify the personalities and then link the two in an entertaining manner through role play, mimicry, poetry or any other means. It was an out-and-out fun event enjoyed by all.

Right now the 2011-2013 batch is gearing up for Jashn, the Talent Night which promises to be a grandiose event with sparkling display of grace, talent and verve. All the best to all juniors!!!

The Mock Press : “Devil’s Advocate”

To soothe the tensed nerves and to offer a break from the ever-increasing stress levels, Imprintz came up with a hatke event The Mock Press : “Devil’s Advocate”- an event which provided a chance for participants to step in the shoes of their favourite celebrities and capture the limelight. Each participant impersonated a famous celebrity from varied fields like politics, sports, entertainment etc. Several questions based on the relevant celebs were put forward to the participant, for which they answered. The answers were witty,hilarious to the extent of being outrageous. Needless to say, the more ‘cheesy’ the answers, the more impressed the judges were.

The event brought us face to face with Rakhi Sawant, Obama, Tiger Woods, Kareena Kapoor among others right in our own IMNU campus. The event was a great success, the second being conducted by Imprintz in this term. We want to thank all of our fellow students for their support and participation, without which the event would not have been the success it was.

For those of you, who have been a part of our events, THANK YOU...

For those who are yet to be our guests, HOPING TO SEE YOU SOON...

Interaction with alumni on life after MBA and the works!

An informal lecture by alumni of 2006-2008 batch; Miss Hemali Shah (C.A & Assistant Manager Deloitte - Financial Advisory) and Mr.Chirayu Chibbar (Assistant Manager, TataAig) has been organised by Imprints - The HR Club tonite at 9 pm in Class E3.

The alumni will talk about their experience at IMNU, the summers and life after joining their respective firms - the journey from being an MBA student to an actual on-field manager. Ever wondered what big financial firms want from an MBA? What do these high profile designations actually mean and to what extent do they give justice to the kind of work that we do? What all summer projects can we expect and to what extent do big names matter in our resume? What would be the job profile in the first 100 days of your startup and to what extent does the CGPA matter?

It will be an open forum and a nice opportunity to experience a slice of the corporate life from those who were in our shoes just one and a half years back.
