Passion ’11 - Where speed is the key word

Passion ’11, the Institute of Management Technology at Ghaziabad’s annual battle of the brains and cultural competition is ready to roll October 9.

The four-day extravaganza, considered to be the “Mecca” of B-school festivals, draws the best brains in management from India’s top institutes to go head-to-head in intense competitions centred around: marketing, finance, operations, human resources, consultancy and information technology.

But while the days are a battleground for business, the nights are crammed with culture, as competitions centre on music, dance, drama and literature.

There are no speed limits on the road to success and this year’s theme is “Citius” marking the passion for speed, the need to think fast and act faster - a necessity in today’s rapidly changing world of business.

Highlighting the business end will be the “Ace of Spades” the flagship event of IMT Ghaziabad, where participants have to survive a 48 hour marathon of being tested with new challenges on their managerial intuition, creativity, innovativeness and thinking on their feet. Only one will be left standing.

The festival kicks off with a strictly business format Oct. 9, with a day of competition capped by a quiz session led by quiz master  Arul Mani, who won the All-India Quizzing Championships yearly from 2005 to 2011 and the Maha quizzer title in 2008 and 2011.

Cultural competitions kick in the afternoon and evening of Oct. 10 and 11, with events ranging from solo singing and karaoke to flamenco and group dancing, outdoor dramatic presentations in a theatre-in-the-round, a fashion extravaganza and literary events such as a model United Nations and parliamentary debate.

The gala event is capped by a battle of the bands starting at 6 p.m. on Oct. 12.


Truly an event not to be missed, IMT Ghaziabad’s Passion ’11 is any energy-filled event, crammed with cut-throat competition and displays of skill, talent and a desire to succeed by the best-of-the-best of India’s B-schools.
