One thing you will frequently hear is the legacy

students take up multiple roles in the institute and have done far more than a MBA student would do in an established setup. The learning is of immense practical value, getting to apply concepts theory in activities that you do not only reinforces learning but adds more value to your time spent in the institute.

We hope that you will question us “Why certain things are not the way they should be?” and at the same time also suggest “This thing can be done better if we do XYZ”. This means that you can chart your own course which adds to the culture of this Institute. We hope to see you participate in activities (Sports, Academics, Extra-Curricular, Personality Development, Inter College Competitions etc.) And exceed us in what we have accomplished in our 1st year.

associated with the three letters “IIM”. Yet the paradox

The

institute

already

completed

four

years.

is none of us knew it first hand and worse every IIM has a culture of its own.

It was only in those

moments of desperation, that one realized (or in some cases “had” to realize) that the legacy of those three letters is not endowed. It’s earned. Inch by inch. Brick by Brick.

As one of our seniors said

about “PAIN” on the very first day at the orientation.

“PAIN” statement took its time to settle. But it was here to stay. Now when we look back at the last three years, we can say that we have done quite well. We have had very decent placements in all domains. We have organized fests, entrepreneurship summits, leadership and HR confluences, and quizzes on a national level, few international conferences. We have had sports tournaments. Clubs have become more active. The “culture” is taking shape, right from the little things as “thumping tables” instead of clapping in class, the jargons, the parties etc. Hope the next two years are the best years of your lives.

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you into the fraternity of the institution. With the vision to become a global institution, the family members of IIM Raipur work ceaselessly to accomplish that aim in all ways possible. Young as the institution is, here you have the opportunity to begin cultures, bring change and set new milestones with nothing more than your idea and your integrity.

You will receive opportunities through platforms that were not there before; face challenges that will drive you on to outperform yourself with every achievement and gain motivation to fight for what you deserve and what you are capable of.

However, what the institution offers will be minuscule compared to what you will learn through your peers. The very structure of the institution is such that individual growth is because of community interaction. You will learn because you were a group, you will succeed because your team took you to a level beyond your capacity.

In the midst of it all, Academic Committee plays the role of a facilitator- one that creates a platform for the student community to interact smoothly with the faculty and the administration. As such, the committee will be the interface on curriculums related to academic. Our activities range from arranging name tags, identity cards to hosting guest lectures, academic events and anything in between. Authority comes with responsibilities and thus, few of our activities include looking after attendance as well as academic calendar, hosting lectures by guests like the esteemed RBI Governor to the Mumbai Dabbawalas, arranging subject-related sessions among peers and between batches, etc.

“If everyone helps to hold up the sky, then one person does not become tired�.

An apt proverb to reflect upon how we would like to see the IIM Raipur Fraternity as. At its infancy, we

dare not

claim success to satisfy the wise words, but the two years that every student is part of the institute, he contributes to the goal in some way or the other.

This document aptly embodies the spirit of IIM Raipur in ink & paper exhibiting our way of life. The student groups (Clubs, Committees and interest groups) and students in their individual capacity have contributed to form this document which makes the document itself a testimony to our collective pursuit.

We proudly say that our community is the most closely knit- among all its peers. Things concerning the students from food and hostel to our placements is driven by the students, highly motivated individuals with the drive to perform.

Here, all the activities exude a sense of ownership of students, you will feel it from the first day you step into our premises. We look forward to the same in you, and welcome you to our fraternity.

Indian Institute of Management Raipur named its annual fest as Equinox, when it became the first institute among the new IIM's to start the trend of organizing its own annual fest in early 201. It was an amalgamation of diverse business events and cultural extravaganza, which is the ultimate signature of any successful college fest.

Equinox 4.0 was the

fourth edition of the Business-cum-Cultural festival of IIM Raipur, which was held this year from 31st January to 2nd February. Every year, this fest draws huge participation from B-schools all over the country, and this year was no exception. The event witnessed unparalleled reach and visibility among the corporate and b-school fraternity. Any successful event needs a lot of planning and ground work which needs to be done before

the actual event on the

D-day. Equinox 4.0 was no exception to this. There was an immense opportunity to learn working with diverse set of teams and people in this event, and I thoroughly relished the challenge of leading and coordinating the activities of various functional teams viz., Sponsorship, Event Marketing, Venue Management etc. being some of the prominent ones among them. Without the support of sponsors, this event couldn't have been conducted in such a magnificent manner. The initial stage of the event planning was all about finding the appropriate sponsors for the various set of events conducted by the eight different clubs in the institute namely, CEC, CUSP, Finatix, Hridhaan, Kartavya, Mantra, OPEP and Quizzing. We listed down the potential sponsors list obtained from the various industry contacts in the city of Raipur, and allotted designated teams to the various companies to follow up on the progress of individual companies.

Some of the major sponsors of the event were NTPC, SAIL, IDBI, Chhattisgarh Tourism etc. Radio Mirchi was signed as the radio partner for covering the event.
