OJAS is India’s 4th most popular business school festival |
|
|
|
|
SPJIMR’s OJAZ XC team is gleaming with a radiance that promises not to fade.
For the annual management and cultural fest (OJAZ) has been ranked fourth as the best popular biz school festival in India by Unstop, the engagement and hiring platform (formerly, Dare2Compete). This has fired up the team’s spirit to keep the flag flying high and raise it even higher. Next year, they are determined to break into the big top three league of winners.
“We’ll make sure that OJAS gets bigger, bolder, and better with every passing year.” they declared, announcing their intention to be among the top three, the very next year itself.
This year, OJAS was inspired by the theme “Graffiti of Glory”, where every single participation was an unfolding of magnificence in its ultimate creative and unconventional form. And with more than 40 engaging business and cultural events, 12,000 plus participating institutes, and 31,000+ registrations, and prizes totalling 12,000, the platform was wide enough for them to make an enormous impression. Although getting the event off the ground was no small feat, many helping hands helped crystallize the program into a starry one for SPJIMR.
For those who supported the OJASXV team every step of the way, the team is eternally grateful.
