Students

The Quizzing and Debating Society of SIBM Pune promotes the curiosity for knowledge through quizzing & debating competitions and events.

This involves the development of sophisticated reading skills and of an ability to place literary texts in their wider intellectual and historical contexts.

In fact, the ability to sit and read some of the greatest works of prose, poetry, and performance in a campus steeped in its own near-natural wealth of nature and beautiful architecture gives you a sense of being lost in your own fantasy, your own realm of turrets, tutors and texts.
