<p>Budding corporates put their skills to practice as the Jyoti Nivas College presented Arbitrium 2010, a national-level inter-collegiate business fest. <br /><br />Deccan Herald was the media partner for this event. The fest was inaugurated by corporate honcho Harish Bijoor on day one. <br /><br />Following the inauguration, a total of eleven interesting events related to the different fields of finance, marketing and human resources, were held over a span of two days. These events, like Moot Court, Advertising, Tourism Marketing and Business Quiz, were surely not a cakewalk for these intelligent students of management and commerce. <br /><br />The Surprise Event, held on the second day proved to be lots of fun, for both the students and spectators. <br /><br />The event consisted of various teams, where each had to design a poster on an issue persisting in the society and explain this design to the entire class. <br /><br />Later, the members of each team had to answer the questions of the judges, who were teachers from the college itself. <br /><br />While a group of students spoke about the dowry system in the Indian society, two other students spoke on global warming. <br /><br />“Even in today’s world, women are not given a lot of importance,” said a student as she explained the poster on dowry which read out When Tears Stop, A Revolution <br />Begins.<br /><br /> “In a changing society, this is what we need to inculcate and a woman has to take the steps herself to stop the problem.” <br /><br />One of the most popular events was the Stress Interview, which is similar to the Best Manager. <br /><br />A panel of judges thoroughly interrogated the participants for over 15 minutes on the various things the participants had spoken about themselves during their introduction. <br />So questions like ‘Did you randomly pick these qualities from the dictionary to describe yourself?’ and ‘Are your parents actually proud of you?’ were dodged by the contestants. <br /><br />Many of them handled the rude questioning extremely well and answered with dignity and politeness. <br /><br />Tania Philip, a final year BCom student, who was one of the organisers, explained the different competitions that took place during the fest. “Moot Court is a competition which has a court-like atmosphere with two teams defending a business-related case,” she said. <br /><br />“The advertising event mainly consisted of logo design for a brand.” <br /><br />All in all, it was all about business mixed with pleasure at this fun-filled fest with the students certainly emerging brighter after learning a thing or two about the field they will be making their careers in.</p>
