Kolkata: Doing away with the usual practice, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta held a virtual city meet via Zoom for the new batch of students in 2021 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Annual city meets are conducted physically across the country for the incoming batch. These meets allow the new students to get an opportunity to interact with current students, renowned alumni, and their future batchmates.
The city meet also provides the newcomers with an insight into the life at Joka. Last year also the city meet was conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to an IIM Calcutta spokesperson, a total of 480 participants were in attendance recently including students from the incoming batch, current batch and distinguished alumni.
IIM (C) External Relations Cell, across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata organised the meets. The sessions also witnessed distinguished alumni of various batches taking part.
“We are thankful to all the students, our teammates and esteemed alumni for making these city meets a huge success with their presence,” ER Cell Secretaries at IIM Calcutta, Sudhansh Jayant and Vidisha Misra, were quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
