Vivekananda Institute of Technology hosted ‘Nizvasathi- 2014’, a national-level fest, which was organised by the department of management studies, recently.

More than 500 students from different courses like MBA, PGDM and BBM from 40 colleges took part in the fest.

There were various rounds of tests and activities in the marketing, finance, business quiz, HR and the best manager events.
  
The fest also saw many cultural programmes like classical and western dances, songs, and a corporate fashion show.

Despite busy schedules and exams being just round the corner, the zeal of audience was immense and they were very excited. 

The participants from the different colleges were impressed by the event and said that the fest had everything that any management fest should contain.

Prathik Shetty, an MBA student of Dayananda Sagar Institutions who was a part of the marketing event said that the fest was awesome.

“There were many interesting tasks that were held as a part of the event including selling a product in the local market. This task was innovative, challenging and hard as many people refused to buy the product,” he said.
