Freshers’ Party

The Fresher’s Party for the ‘22 batch took place in the GIPE cafeteria. Organized by the co-ordinators, it saw all of the undergraduates attending as well as the faculty of the Institute, obviously, dressed to impress and full of jolly spirits. The evening began with a small quiz session directed towards the faculty, which was followed by an energetic round of Antakshari and Dumb Charades. The evening ended with a few mellow tunes performed by the BSc music club (later Falak), along with some snacks which were served, culminating in a perfect end to a perfect party. After this, the students planned an informal evening for socializing amongst themselves.

Spirit Week

The Spirit Week is a GIPE tradition started by the first batch of the BSc programme to take a few days out from the daily rut of classes and assignments and internal exams. This year, the Spirit Week was organised in the month of December, to celebrate the end of yet another winter semester and rejuvenate everyone for the next! 


Day 1- Prom

On 11th December, the cultural committee organised the very first Prom at the institute. It was a beautiful starry night, the campus was adorned with fairy lights, complete with slow, mellow music. It was a night to dress up, dance, mingle and just have the kind of night we’ve only seen in movies! Everyone came with dates and danced to their favourite songs. The organisers also played cupid by having a Rose Day in the previous week, for those who needed a little nudge! A two day ballroom dance workshop had also been organised to really get everyone in the feels.

Day 2- Ethnic Day

Any college year is incomplete without an ethnic day! The second day of the spirit week was the day for all the desi girls and boys of GIPE. Singers and poets disguising as Economics students at GIPE impressed everyone with their talents and got the mehfil going. Everyone jammed to bollywood music  and enjoyed the food fest that was organised on the same day! Multiple chaat stalls and street food carts were lined up on campus. 

Day 3 –  Bollywood Day

Another tradition being followed in every college these days is that of Bollywood Day. We obviously jumped the wagon too this year! Everyone dressed up as their favourite characters from movies like Gangubai, Poo, PK, Chandni, Sanjana, Chulbul Pandey and many more and as the DJ played one bollywood song after another, every character got their chance to rock their own song! Photos were clicked, reels were made, memories were created! It was also the last day of the semester and thus was the perfect celebration before everyone went back home for the holidays!

SPorts WEek

The Sports Week 2022-2023 was a roller coaster ride with challenges around every corner but a team full of grit and determination made everything possible. Our sports committee handled each aspect dedicatedly. From waking up and reaching the venues before 6am to reaching home late at night, it had become a part of our routine. Banners were designed and printed, communication among all was carried through Google forms, WhatsApp groups, Query redressal on the campus etc. without any hindrances. 

A voting took place to decide on which sport events to organize over the one week. Finally it narrowed down to cricket, table tennis, basketball, chess and more.It started with Volleyball & Badminton matches that took place on the same day, which required coordination between timings, participants and venues which wouldn’t have been possible without prior operations. The pinnacle was that one of the faculty members, that is our very own Aseem Bhagwat Sir, a visiting faculty also participated in all sports, which we dearly loved & enjoyed. Even the hostel staff participated in cricket and football. The needs and wishes of all students were taken into account and were accommodated for. Sincere conduct & sportsmanship was shown throughout the week. We fortunately did not face any dissension among teammates. 

Our personal favorite day was the one when the football matches were held. Non-participating students from our college were also present to cheer their mates as teams were made division wise.The day ended with the highlight which was the tug of war.

We could see the passion driving the strong will to win. The matches were cut-throat with everyone bringing their best to the table. Despite the strong sun and long hours, the participants didn’t give up. Friends became rivals on court with an intensity unmatched. It was indeed a sight to watch. However, managing finances was one of the most herculean tasks, which was taken care of by our committee splendidly. Having taken the responsibility and no budget in hand, money was put in from their own pockets. Each penny was spent and recovered from the college funds. To sum up, there was so much to just one week of the academic year that taught and took out of us which in the end was all worth it.

Treasure Hunt

Treasure Hunt 2022:

The treasure hunt was the first event for the year organised by the recently joined FYs, (with help from the seniors, ofc!) The intention was to facilitate an inter-batch interaction at a scale perhaps like no other!

120 participants. 12 teams. Three rounds. One giant cash prize. Held within one evening with 6 hours of absolute rushing, scurrying, clue hunting (sometimes shoe-hunting), bear grilling and bell gonging later, one team emerged as the winner!

The search took our hunters through the nooks and corners of our campus, which (although it might look tiny) was transformed into one giant playhouse where no corner and no stone could be left unturned. Clues could be anywhere! Under the pots and over the terraces, within the bushes and inside the trees, among old books in the library and even the portraits of our fathers. All buildings were turned upside down.

The second round took our venturers, even beyond the campus limits, to the college hostel’s far reaches and through the FC Road alleyways. Thus we selected our four finalists.

The third round, the most difficult, was more than one to test who could solve clues first. This time there were puzzles. Ones which needed to be cracked to lead the teams on their quest. And visible through the windows in plain sight, the final clue was waiting all along. Up the hill and under it, the prize was finally won.

Treasure Hunt 2k22 was an absolute blast! You may ask anyone you want, and we will be back this year! Bigger, grander, and more fabulous! Till ye timbers!
