IME Party 2012


Life at IITK can't get better than this. After the high octane freshers night by seniors, now it was our turn to script another memorable night. We, the new entrants of IITK, had to organize a party for entire IITK IME department (MBA, M.Tech, PhD)- students, professors and their family. The celebration was much eagerly awaited and anticipated after the unique experince of fresher's party.



After days of discussions and plannings, the D'day finally came. The theme for the party was traditional. The event started at 8 pm by the welcome ceremony of all the distinguished professors and their families.  The event, which was hosted by Praveen and Nidhi, had a lot of fun moments. Professors were invited to the stage one-by-one and they were given certain fun tasks, which they carried out with lots of enthusiasm. Their performance on the stage showed us a completely different side of our professors! Anoop sir's bhangra dance, Devlina madam's bengali song, Rachrella sir's prank and Kripashankar sir's speech in sankrit were the attarctions,to name a few, that entertained the whole crowd. It was certainly a splendid experience. After the performances, momentos were given by the 1st Year students to all the professors.


Adding to the fun were superb performances of Abhishek Pradhan's mimicry of various personalities, Manoj Jhawar's singing and guitar performances and sensational guitar play by M Tech students. The IME party hosted a great platform for all the final year students, 1st year students and professors to get well-versed with each other and get a feel of IITK life.

And now it was time for the much awaited event of the day- DJ! As always, this time too everyone was sensational on the DJ floor, dancing to the tunes of foot tapping music. The dancing floor saw some of the best dancing skills by students.


This party just marked the beginning of the 2 wonderful years that we are going to spend here! It was one of the best parties that we experienced so far, and credit must be given to Ravi Kiran Bhupati and Ankita Sahare- the organizers of the event- for making this an unforgettable experience.

MBA @ IIT Kanpur: More than just an MBA

The season of summer internship has already started for MBA batch of 2013. All have already joined their respective summer-organizations and seem to be enjoying the work and the change. For some it’s a break from campus life and much awaited break from study. College graduates who don’t take a “working” break and join MBA program find an opportunity to earn their first salary-a beautiful experience which I need not explain for obvious reason. While the excitement among fresh college graduates about summer internship is understandable, experienced students cannot be left in exception either. They are found equally excited. Perhaps the break from study is the main reason. The formal attires, which feel ignored for a long time, find a chance to breathe in free air; otherwise the formal attires, at least at IITK, become like a bride’s Shadi ka joda which makes special and rare appearance only. However, when it comes to IIT Kanpur you find an exception. The excitement about summer int...
