Advait 2012

The word Advait essentially stands for oneness, non-duality or integrity. It holds a lot of relevance because our aim here at IIFT is not just to limit ourselves to acquiring knowledge or skill sets. We aspire to evolve into wholesome, responsible, contributing individuals of the society providing solutions that can be “integrated” with the world, to meet its needs, and promote a sense of “oneness” or Advait.

Keeping that in mind, a series of events and competitions that are practical, relevant and are perfect simulations of what is “out there” were conducted at the IIFT Kolkata campus which saw participation from business schools all over the country.

Rannbhoomi, a unique strategy event, offered the participants an opportunity to get into the shoes of the ultimate decision making authority of a company, namely the CXO officers and take decisions in order to steer their company through tough times.

Vivarann – the Stock Pitch competition organized by Cashonova, the Finance club of IIFT, tested the equity analysis skills of some of the best brains in India.

Vichaar Vimarsh organized by BLASH, the Trade Club of IIFT, is a conceptual simulation of WTO, which aimed at providing a platform to budding managerial students to showcase their understandings of international business and trade.

Since its inception Advait has been growing and with the efforts of the students fueled by their enthusiasm it will be nurtured further to greater heights.
