Activities at MIB
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS FORUM
The students of the MIB programme take upon themselves the task of assisting in the management of the course and coordination of the various activities that are an inseparable part of any quality management programme. IBF, the multi-dimensional student body of MIB, ensures a common platform for the students to communicate with the industry and enhance their professional skills. A number of committees function under the umbrella of IBF striving continuously to fulfill its objectives such as Placement Committee, Alumni Committee, CATALYST – The Extra Curricular Activities Committee, Magazine and Media Committee, CLIC (Corporate- Learners’ interaction club) and Convention Committee. The students divide themselves into various committees in order to efficiently manage all the activities, gaining at the same time hands on experience of working within a formal framework.
