The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad is offering anyone and everyone a chance to spend a day at its campus. The annual event, ‘A Day at IIMA’ will be held virtually this year on November 7. The registration process is on. Registered people can experience life at the premier B-School at a price of Rs 1800. The funds so collected will be directed towards the education of the underprivileged kids associated with Prayaas.
Prayaas is a social initiative of the IIM responsible for the education of 80+ students from the underprivileged section of the society. The event is in its 10th edition. While every year the event takes places physically, this year, it will be hosted virtually. Participants will be taken through a day in the life of a first-year student of IIM-A’s flagship MBA programme.
