The Admissions Committee: Team ADCOM

We are the first “touch point” for any candidate of SIBM Bengaluru, and hence we act as a bridge between the prospective candidates and the Institute. Apart from the predominant responsibility of facilitating the smooth process of admissions of the incoming batch, our team undertakes various brand-building campaigns through a variety of forums and tie-ups with coaching Institutes across the country.

The major initiatives of The Admissions Committee can be clearly defined as::

Buddy Groups & City Meet – We create an informal and casual platform, the WhatsApp groups for the prospective candidates where they can ask all sort of doubts, silly and serious, to clear their confusion before they join the institute. We also meet the upcoming batch personally in various cities across India to inculcate a feeling of belongingness in them right before they start the rigorous journey of MBA with us here at SIBM Bengaluru.
Ice-Breaking Sessions  – Once the academic year begins, Team ADCOM conducts a series of induction tasks that are inclusive in nature and bring the entire new batch closer among themselves and the institute. These tasks enable them to form friendships that develop into an everlasting bond and prepare them for the upcoming MBA rigor.

Social Media Presence – One thing which connects the world is the internet. Our committee represents SIBM Bengaluru on various social media platforms like Facebook, PaGaLGuY, Shiksha, etc. We keep the candidates updated about all important dates regarding the SNAP exam and college details. Moreover, any queries regarding the admission process which are posted by the applicants are clarified immediately by our team. We are also responsible for promoting our college on various educational websites and YouTube channels to ensure the presence of our institute over various online portals with the updated figures and stats.

City Visit & SNAP – Our Team visits different coaching centres across India right before SNAP with a purpose of interacting with the MBA aspirants and give them a glimpse of our institute. We also educate them regarding the SNAP exam and share some tips to CRACK the same.

GE-PIWAT – This is ADCOM’s flagship event. Our team designs the admission brochure and conceptualizes the whole GE-PIWAT process for the upcoming batch. We do our best to provide an amazing experience to the students and we try to raise the standard of our admission process every year by smoothly conducting it with proper execution of various rounds in a timely and accurate fashion.

Adding to the fun side, we organize the highly anticipated annual video gaming event – GAME-A-THON, which includes games like Mortal Kombat X, FIFA 19, WWE, etc that give all the gaming enthusiasts an opportunity to showcase their skills.

SIBM Bengaluru successfully held its Annual Management Conclave, Alchemy where students get to witness comprehensive panel discussions and speeches from enlightened and experienced corporate minds.

The dynamic shift in Leadership has revolutionized the way we interpret the term ‘Management’. The post pandemic resurrection of industries was led by leaders all across the globe, who dared to dream big and think out of the box, thereby redefining management and transforming the future. The pandemic was leveraged upon by many firms as an opportunity to transform digitally and grow beyond barriers. Data-driven transformation has brought about a renaissance in the field of management, by introducing the world to big data and data warehousing tools, which not only helps leaders to forecast erratic changes in the market but also to anticipate an optimal course of action.

Leaders, therefore promote the development of relevant skill sets through organisational transformation and encouraging employees to create an inclusive learning environment. With inclusion, there comes a need to be diverse as well as equitable. An inclusive organisation is one with representation from diverse backgrounds and which gives an equal opportunity for each employee to develop and participate. Companies like Johnson & Johnson and MasterCard have maximised diversity and inclusion in their organizations. Therefore leadership, as we see today, is a culture which provides the foundation for organizational and industry stability. Leadership today promotes inclusion and diversity while using state of the art technology to lead change and tackle challenges.

Innovator’s Edge 2022: An Entrepreneur’s Story

Entrepreneur’s Story 2022 was successfully conducted online with the theme “Innovator’s Edge 2022”.

A team of creative problem-solvers who work well under pressure, the Public Relations and Media Committee works on the principle of ‘earned media’. The committee garners media coverage for all the events of the college by creating and maintaining a cordial and healthy relationship with media personnel across various local and national media houses.

PR is as much a science as it is an art and the duties of the committee are a perfect blend of the two worlds. From formulating an eclectic blend of strategies to ensure maximum visibility and success in reaching the target audience to actually creating effective, relatable and sometimes quirky promotional campaigns for the events of the college, this committee has the best of both worlds to offer. The team has some of the best writers and graphic designers of the college who are adept at formulating appealing PR strategies and managing the content that is posted on all the social media handles of the socially vibrant institute, like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. It works towards creating an effective channel of information through sharing of relevant and useful information on key topics like admissions and all the college events on social networks to engage the huge viewership that the social media handles of the college possess.

Regarded as the face of the college, the committee has a track-record of successfully delivering on complex and challenging PR briefs – often characterised by high stakes and a sense of urgency.

The Public Relations and Media Committee forms an essential part of the college and works cohesively with the administration and all the other committees and clubs to ensure that the brand SIBM B remains in good shape and the events of the college create the maximum buzz possible.

The role of the Information Technology Division is to advance the mission of the Institute by delivering best-of-class information technology systems and services to SIBM students, faculty, staff, and departments. We have a technology team of bright and enthusiastic individuals committed to providing the best service possible to the campus community.

We deliver coordinated, consistent and high-quality customer services responsively and professionally. We pride ourselves on the personal attention we provide to resolving problems and meeting campus needs for information, support, and service. We take a broad approach that not just involves the computer Centre in the facility, but the infrastructure backup in the libraries, classrooms, hostels, video-conferencing facilities, Intranet and the Internet. The activities include but are not limited to- managing the network infrastructure in tandem with the authorities, developing and maintaining the college website, various portals etc.

The Information Technology Division actively supports and encourages the effective use of technology among the SIBM-B community. Team PRMC dedicatedly provides able support to all other Committees and events being organized at SIBM-Bengaluru irrespective of the nature of the event.

We at Social Responsibility Committee believe that we are all part of a larger system which needs constant development and nourishment through meaningful contribution from us as individuals.

Our objective is therefore to enable the involvement of students of SIBM-Bengaluru in activities that are related to social awareness and personal development and also to project the institute as a socially responsible one.

These events and drives not only prove to be rewarding experiences to us as students but also makes us humble as human beings.

Our committee thus, facilitates activities and drives related to

• Environment and cleanliness
• Rural Aid
• Community service and social awareness
• Corporate CSR Engagements
• Personal skill development

Some of the endeavours of our committee are:

SYMBRIKSHA

Symbriksha is an initiative conducted by SIBM to spread awareness about the importance of tree plantation. The main motive for this endeavor is to imbibe the culture of tree plantation and tree maintenance in order to make our environment a green environment. It also provides an opportunity for the students to interact with corporates to foster a sense of team spirit while planting trees and also make them aware of the importance of a green city.

BLOOD DONATION

One need not have many resources to help someone. A simple act of kindness can go a long way in saving not just one, maybe many lives. One such act is giving blood, the life that we carry in our veins. You save three lives by donating only one unit of blood. We support this act of kindness every year on 31st July.

UTTHAAN

The flagship event of our committee, Utthaan, aims to promote positive relationships for underprivileged and orphaned children and encourage each child’s sense of individual worth. The event also aims at fostering a learning environment for the children whilst providing a platform for them to showcase their innate talent and abilities to the outside world. The interaction with these children, on our campus, aims at making the day memorable for them.
NUKKAD

E-Waste and Paper Recycling drive

Last year we started with a new initiative of collecting electronic waste. This was in lines of the already ongoing paper recycling drive. Electronic products are made up of constituents like lead, nickel, mercury etc. which if not disposed of in a right manner can impact our environment. We have associated ourselves with Attero, India’s largest e-waste management company with NASA recognized technology innovator.

Primary Objective:

The primary objective of the SWSC Committee is to address and effectively solve various student related matters. SWSC is a bridge between students and authorities. The committee has to maintain a balance between student’s demands/problems and feasibility of solution provided by authorities.

There are three prominent areas which come under the purview of this committee. These are:

Functioning of the Hostel/ Campus: Developing a suitable system in which complaints of students with respect to hostel/campus infrastructure will be attended to by the maintenance staff within one working day. Taking care of the needs of the students and making suggestions to the management based on the same.

Functioning of the Mess/Cafeteria: Since food is the most primitive form of comfort, SWSC will strive hard to improve the quality and taste of food served in the mess and cafeteria. Complaints of students related to the mess facilities will be considered and appropriate steps for solving them will be taken. Quality checks in the mess and cafeteria will be done on regular basis. Infrastructure of Mess, Cafeteria and Water requirements will be taken care of as well.

Maintaining Discipline and Decorum in the College Premises: SWSC believes in: No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline”. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment and self-discipline is one of the key ingredients of success in life. So we try to imbibe the feeling of accountability into the students by showcasing that they are responsible in all ways for upholding the reputation of the Institute through their actions.

Secondary Objective:

To develop unity and integrity among students. As students belong to different states, countries, cultures and religions, various on-campus events will be conducted, which will represent different Indian/International festivals. These events will make students aware of customs of others. Together we will celebrate festivals to get united and know each other better. Various events- Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri Puja, Gurpurab Langar, Christmas, Lohri, Holi, etc. had already been slotted for this purpose. Others can be added as per requirement.
