Students

The Quizzing and Debating Society of SIBM Pune promotes the curiosity for knowledge through quizzing & debating competitions and events. It is a student organization dedicated to increasing awareness of the value of general knowledge, speech, debating activities and the ability to think spontaneously. 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.

The Finance Society works to help students stay better prepared for the particularly intensive and demanding course. They send out a GK dossier to students, containing a collection of relevant articles and news from the past six months. They also conduct sessions on MS Excel and SPSS. Previous years' participants of important finance-related competitions share their experiences and tips with juniors. For the future, they plan to put up a bi-annual magazine featuring student articles and also an inter-B-school case study challenge.
