IMS Quiz Belgaum Round: A TOTAL MENACE, CHOAS

The much hyped undergraduate quiz was an event that terribly suffered from lack of proper management. I don’t know about other places but the one that was in Belgaum in JNMC campus was a total menace. Students from colleges in Hubli, Dharwad and Belgaum had attended the quiz. KSRTC was kind enough to provide bus service from various places in Hubli, Dharwad. But reaching there we found a whole crowd standing outside the Jirge Sabha Bhavan jostling to get inside. We also joined the crowd in order to get inside. But the authorities of IMS were acting like hooligans and one of them pushed me so hard that I just managed to find my balance. And once inside the auditorium was looking like a fish market. The quiz which was scheduled to begin at 12.30p.m began somewhere around 2.00p.m. And the one who was making announcements there was speaking as though we were there to attend a charity program. He said “You should be thankful and appreciate the fact that we are trying to accommodate so many of you in this hall!.” I was frowned to hear this kind of statement. Enraged students were throwing paper rockets at the stage. And suddenly all the fans in the hall were switched off. On asking the IMS authorities to switch on them we never got a response. It was like a punishment for all of us with the temperatures soaring inside the hall. We were also bored for about two hours by showing the ads of the sponsors again and again on the screen. All in all the quiz was a total failure when it comes to the management of the event. If IMS couldn’t handle so much students then it shouldn’t have given so many admit cards to all colleges (One could also download the same from their website) and wasted the time of so many students or so many smarties as IMS puts it!!!!
