The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), through its campus NGO Prayaas, announced the return of its popular initiative ‘A Day @ IIMA’ as part of the Joy of Giving Week, scheduled from October 6 to 12, 2014. The event itself will be held on Sunday, October 12, offering selected participants a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the prestigious IIMA experience.

The highlight of the event is its unique offering: allowing up to 90 outsiders to spend a full day at the IIMA campus, engaging in activities such as lectures, case discussions, quizzes, club interactions, and campus tours. The concept effectively bridges the gap between India’s top B-school and aspiring professionals or curious minds, creating a taste of the IIMA student lifestyle.

Participation is merit-based. Applicants are required to submit a 500-word write-up on one of three socially relevant topics: Primary Education, Sanitation, or Healthcare. The process is streamlined through a Google form and email submission, with specific deadlines announced well in advance. The timeline is tight but efficient: submissions close on September 25, with results declared by September 26, and final confirmations wrapping up by September 28.

Overall, this initiative reflects IIMA’s commitment to social engagement and inclusivity. By opening its doors to outsiders during the Joy of Giving Week, the institute not only promotes knowledge sharing but also inspires individuals through firsthand experience. It's a well-organized, high-impact event that lives up to its reputation.
