GROOVE 2007, the induction programme for the new management batch at NITIE, provided the much necessary momentum to
the students to get them going in the new, unexplored MBA territory. GROOVE successfully achieved what it had intended to achieve, to break the ice among the new batch, and to make them aware of the MBA life in all its
ramifications.
Assignments based on real time cases, covering the various MBA specialisations, were useful in making the students reach a certain
comfort level, making them aware of what lay ahead of them in the journey that was to follow. The marketing assignment for instance, was taken up with a lot of enthusiasm by all. It not only made an interesting read, but also
provided the scope for the batch to put their creativity to good use. Business quizzes were also organised to evaluate and increase the general awareness of the students in the business domain.
On a non-academic note,
though, a lot of informal events helped in facilitating proper interaction between the seniors and the juniors. Events like the AD-MAG tickled the imagination of the students as they had to come up with advertisement ideas and
captions for the products given to each group of students. "Assignments were the order of the day the moment I stepped into NITIE, but it wasn't 'no play and all work', we had our share of fun, with funny introductions, ad skits,
songs. It made my joining at NITIE memorable", says Sai Sudha.
The interaction between the senior batch and the junior batch was much required, because the junior batch was given valuable insights, which not only included
the academic aspects, but also about the college in general and the values that it stands for. "The induction program tailored by IMPACT team facilitated juniors to smoothly transit to the NITIE lifestyle and it helped us tune in
to the b-school culture", says Rishi Shah. The BUDDY programme for instance provides a good interface for the interaction between the two batches, as each senior student is given the responsibility of a student in the junior batch
with similar work experience and interests that could aid one in adjusting to the college life in general and help one chalk out one's career plans.
