Out-of-the-box contests

'Fresherism'
Last Updated 09 August 2016, 18:43 IST

Garden City College of Science and Management Studies has a history of creating dreamers, winners and achievers. The students here not only learn what the syllabus prescribes but also harbour and nourish out-of-the-box thinking and the skill set that is required for them to create a niche for themselves once they step outside the college gate. With this notion, the college hosted ‘Fresherism’, a 20-day-long programme that included various events and activities for the freshmen in college.

The event started with the orientation programme. The aim of the orientation programme was to familiarise the freshers with the culture and environment of Garden City College and the curriculum of their respective areas of study. The main event kicked off with ‘Let Me Know Your SQ’, an event where participants had to share a Facebook post from the college Facebook page at an interval of every one hour. It went on for two days.

Next was ‘Har Ek Friend Zaroori Hota Hai’, where the students were given a Google form in their mail and which they had to send to their friends in their native places to get feedbacks. Next in cue was an event named ‘Train Your Brain’. This was a GCC connect app based event where students had to participate in a quiz event. The fastest person sending the answers received the maximum points. The fest also saw collage-making and a movie screening event followed by ‘Housie’, ‘Antakshari’ and ‘Fresher’s Got Talent’.

The top 300 freshers were declared after that. A hurdle race was organised the next day followed by ‘Sketch The Chorale’ where five different songs were played for five minutes. The participants had to draw the message hidden in the songs or the connection.

There was also ‘Know Your Campus’ (a treasure hunt based on campus locations) followed by ‘Duedas’, an event where the students had to bid scrap products and utilise the given fund. Another exciting event was ’Splash Bash’, a water pool event, after which the top 150 freshers were declared.

As part of the fest, a survival camp was also held followed by a DJ night and ‘Italian Theme Dinner’.

     ‘Fresherism 2016’ ended with various departments of the college being introduced with much pomp and show and the top 100 freshers were declared.Chairman Joseph V G, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Maldives in Bengaluru, graced the finale with his presence and said, “You have to be honest in life and respect yourself.”
