There were stalls of games put up by the students. There was also a cultural event with eclectic dance performances by students. The major draw of the evening though was the lucky draw. This festival spread light and joy all around and gave a much needed breather after the hectic schedule of classes.

9th December: Ramadan, Iftar Pary and Eid-ul-fitr Celebration: The celebrations kicked off in IBA by offering prayers to the Almighty after which the fast was broken by having a gala feast known as the Iftaar party. Everyone enjoyed the party completely and this get together will remain in the memory of IBAians for a long time to come.

The day dedicated to Guru’s all over the world was celebrated with aplomb in our institute. Students celebrated it by dedicating songs to the faculty and by cutting a cake and giving gifts. It was an enjoyable evening indeed.

31st December, 2008: New Year Celebration: It was high time at iba-gn. The aims-6 international conference was just over and students and faculties were ready for a refreshment ride. What better other than a new year celebration could have provided them with at that time.
