Rajnikanth has a nervous breakdown and retires from acting)See y’all in Neev 2013. MIND IT!!!

All of the lights

All of MBA. Right from the first day. This entire semester. Half of the next one. All of it spent in putting

together every ingredient to its absolute perfection as we stand up to see the ascent of NEEV 2012.

We can almost taste it. For us NEEVers energy levels have reached levels never before experienced. I

never previously understood what it meant to taste the excitement in the air, but here it is. Electricity in

the air and all we think about is what an ultravaganza its going to be!

The road hasn’t been easy so far, but something tells me its all going to be worth it.

The world is apparently ending in 2012? Well, every ending has a new beginning… And if this is an

ending? We will give you the Big Bang for the new creation.

LET THERE BE NEEV……….

Fasten Your Seatbelts!!

It’s getting closer. Neev. the biggest b-school festival in India. Now international, it will play host to the best and the biggest Competitions. Mind Blowing Celebrity Night in Galactica will obviously also be in store. The best student manager hunt at Augustus will be the highlight of this three day extravaganza.


 The mystery surrounding the event will soon be unravelled. The struggle and hard work of 22 Neevers working constantly , day and night, over more than 22 weeks to put up a spectacle, the most awaited show, will finally come into light. We  worked hard..gave our best..convinced..stuggled..reached new highs..fought with others..fought with our own selves..slogged..made efforts..sometimes valiant..sometimes embarrassing..sometimes worth fame..sometimes critical..sometimes worth applause..sometimes just SATISFYING.just..


There will be pain..for those who will be agonisingly close to winning, agonisingly close. Joy.. for those who will win the battle, ecstasy..for all those who will be a part of this scintillating marvel, anxiety..for all those who will be locking horns during the three days, inspiration.. for all those who will listen to the most respected people in the Industry at Atlantis Diaries, trembling.. for those who will be facing the most intricate, surgical and challenging questions in Augustus, exhilaration..for all those who will witness the top undergraduate colleges battling it out in the Jive Wars and the ShowStoppers. For us though, it will be a mix of all these feelings and emotions in addition to that most important feeling. PRIDE.


Fasten your seat belts folks coz NEEV is now just around the corner.

Augustus is back!!!

How do you top the flagship event of India’s biggest B-school fest? The question is simple, the

answer not so much. Augustus, the hunt for India’s ‘Best Student Manager’ is back!!

Last year Augustus witnessed stupendous participation from top B schools in India. The only

element that could transcend the success of Augustus would be to take the event international! So

we did. This year Neev- The Quantum Surge will bear testimony to budding managers from across

the world, as we take Augustus to new heights.

As a part of the organising committee it is an overwhelming experience to be associated with an

event of such grandeur, a feeling shared by the team as a whole. The responsibility to match the

expectations of the aftermath of Augustus- 2011 is a herculean task, but the association with an

event of such vigour gives you enough motivation to outperform yourself as an individual.

The participants will fight not only for the prize money, but also for the prestigious title

of “Augustus”, as this time it gets bigger, tougher and global in a showcase of intelligence with

dexterity and whimsicalness.

Get ready for Augustus 2012- The biggest blow of the arcane force, NEEV 2012.

-          Written by Diki Dolma, Augustus Committee 

Why should you be at NEEV?

In 2005, Symbiosis Centre of Management and Human Resource Development ( SCMHRD ) was an unknown college that people didn’t care about. Today? Its broken into the top 15 and has gone ahead of its 50 year old sister institute as well. NEEV too witnessed a gargantuan resurrection in 2006 as a part of its rebirth.

Augustus then came into being and soon became THE event for business school students, in terms of the challenge as well as the accolades.

Every year since then, it has just grown and grown.

Last year, it hit some magical numbers

1      Budget of close to 80 lakhs

2      Bschool fest with Undergraduate involvement

3      Umpteen celebrities like

a.       Raghu, of Roadies fame

b.      Tehseen Poonawalla

c.       Papa CJ

d.      Hard Kaur

e.      Sivamani

f.        A S K Reddy of GMR Group

g.       Ravi Pisharody of Tata Motors

That’s just to name a few……..

So, why should you be at NEEV 2012? Well, the tradition is to keep getting bigger.  As I write this, I cannot help but smile at whats been written so far. Because, I know what it is we NEEVers are writing… right now!

                                                                

Isn’t this all you ever aspired for?????

December is descending upon us and so is The Quantum Surge.

Days are long & nights are gloomy. Yet I survive; awestruck at the glimpse of the future. Future

that bears no fear; has no limits & is beyond the realm of the ordinary. We at SCMHRD are laying

the foundation of that future called NEEV 2012. This Quantum Surge will rehabilitate your mind

& eventually your body, you just need to feel it. When you let it flow through you; you can feel it

cleansing your soul to change you into a new human capable of Courage to stand up to anything,

Compassion to heal the wounded & Creativity to change the world.

Isn’t this all you ever aspired for?????

Experience this ephemeral opportunity for enlightenment at NEEV 2012.

NEEV......SCMHRD’s Magnum Opus!!

Symbiosis International University has a whopping 29 colleges under its umbrella. Among these colleges, each B-School has its own fest that they take pride in.

However, the crown jewel of the all the fests in the Symbiosis fraternity is our very own NEEV. SCMHRD’s flagship event has left all its rivals far far behind...trailing in the dust storm mustered up due the sheer velocity of NEEV’s progress.

SCMHRD too has risen meteorically and as it continues to set new standards and break more barriers, NEEV too promises to grow by leaps and bounds.

So be proud SCMHRDians....NEEV is already the talk of the town... a magnum opus...and it won’t take long in becoming a legend...

Who Defines Reality?

Spirits are bound by the realm of reality, they always tolds me. My only question to them -

"But then, who defines reality?"

To live in a world full of dreams is a dream in itself. But to go that extra mile to live those dreams is what warriors strive for. And what drives them is not just a vision, a clear strategy, and a deeply seeded desire to win, rather what pushes them on when all odds stand against, is "PASSION". It is this passion, which makes NEEV one of the most amazing B-School fests in India. The fever and the pitch of excitement reach the shores of SCMHRD much before the actual fun starts.

It is not just a legacy that carries on year after year, it is like a living entity, growing in stature every passing year. It is like a mistresses' eye, like a magician's power that attracts. And you can feel the surge of quantum energy sweeping through you, lifting your spirits, filling you with that desire to perform, to achieve, to be the best.

It is this passion that runs across the passages of SCMHRD, that attracts the quantum force that strikes this time, for the rebirth of a new world. We act, but only as catalysts, as change agents, channelising the energy to make this world a better place to do business in and to live in a better world.

Kahlil Gibran rightly said -

"Rest in reason; move in passion" 

Written by Anurag Shrivastava

It's getting closer……..

We have a NEEV countdown in the NEEV room at SCMHRD. That counter reminds us how much closer we are getting to the grandest stage that our campus sets, year on year.

That countdown pushes out ideas all the more as each and every one in the NEEV room works in an all or nothing frenzy towards the successful implementation of this behemoth.

And each day we smile and push ourselves harder.

NEEV 2012 has already had a theme launch like no other. If you haven’t yet seen the video,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vA7vzjW07w

Now all we want to do, is surpass our own expectations for this event. We want to take apart the sphere of business school events like no one has ever done. And each and every one of us, feels the same way.

I guess this is what it means to be a NEEVer. Your source of energy is the arrival of NEEV…  

Are You Ready To Surge

The two years of B-School are among the most special in a student’s life. In those two years, the most unique time to be in the campus is during the annual fest.

For a management student, the college fest means much more than just another event on the calendar. It represents a time where he gets to show some ownership, where he gets to give something back to the college that has given him so much.

For SCMHRD, NEEV is that event. For years now, this annual event has been scaling greater heights every term and has consequentially become one the biggest fests in India. That alone should and must be a matter of pride for every SCMHRDian.

The event in itself has become such a gargantuan one due to the high involvement of students. Every year, the new batch surpasses the efforts of the previous one and this year too, the onus will be upon the 2012-14 batch to make their NEEV another memorable one.

So arise SCMHRDians.....be proud....strive for your NEEV.....and revel as eyes from rivals across the country turn to us with envy and awe.....be the reason for this year’s SURGE!!!

So… Why Quantum Surge?

      This is a question we all as NEEVers have faced ever since we unveiled the theme last month. Apparently we have just taken geekiness to a level never before seen. It doesn’t help that in the explanation of the theme we talk about quantum leap and bounce and normalization of the tunnel effect.

      Albert Einstein, made this quote once. “ If you cant explain something in simple words, you haven’t understood it”.

     Well, lets see if we have understood it.

    The main purpose of a Masters In Business Administration Degree, is the continuous creation of capable leaders for the world of tomorrow. Our understanding so far, is that leaders have been identified as having two very important traits. There are plenty, available in every management book, but two prominent.

        Shackled by rules, bogged down by bureaucracies, aristocracies and now even democracies, our final output lacks the spark. Today I ask you, Do you still have that spark? Today I ask you… Do you realize if you do?

                Let me assume that this is true. Let me assume that the sparks of creativity are festering in you now. Will you then stand? Will you then stand tall? Will you then rise…

                Unfortunately for us, we do have a few who step up on these fronts. We, though, have none who can bow. We have none, who channel this into where it is needed the most. Yet we have everybody, who knows what these places are.

             Thus, Creativity and Courage have been identified as the two most important traits in a leader. We, have identified a third equally important trait. Compassion.

            At NEEV, we hope to culminate all three of these forces, to awaken every fibre of your being associated with them… to enable you to take a quantum surge.

           It's that simple.

Augustus - The Hunt for India's Best Student Manager

To make the most out of grim situations and to get the maximum returns under meagre circumstances is what a manager is all about. The name of the game is persistence. It is not about coming first all the time, it is about getting back on your feet one more time, despite going down again and again.

 Augustus, which is the flagship event of NEEV, aims to find that one person who possesses these qualities and much more.

Spread over three days, Augustus tests the mettle of participants in every vertical of management. The stakes have never been higher, with the prize money being a whopping Rs. 2 lakhs. Aspirants from across the country will be vying for the title of India’s best student manager in what will undoubtedly be a fiercely fought battle.

So if you think you can strut your stuff with the best in the business, then prove it.....lock horns with them this coming December. 

The Official NEEV Theme Song Lyrics

It all seems lost and broken

And the end is in sight

Now there’s no hope that’s left

And it dawns darkness of the night

But hope is around the corner

As a new force simmers

It shines through up and bright

Concealing cataclysmic might

Consequences harsher than a game

This force too has a name

Its impossible to tame

Cause IT IS “THE QUANTUM SURGE”(x2)

Bathing glory of lost men

With the promises of Utopia

Restoring their zen

Through happier times and euphoria

Its gonna hit them hard

Impart wisdom of the bard

And you will feel the change

You have never seen from the start

Consequences harsher than a game

This force too has a name

And its impossible to tame

Cause IT IS “THE QUANTUM SURGE” (x2)

A Tribute to the Junior NEEVer

Lost in the rooms adjoining the Neev room can we be found. Experiencing the inanimate thrill of being a call center agent.

The junior NEEVer is he, who sat back in the assembly hall and watched the senior team present the NEEV committee to him. He sat back in awe as he suddenly realized which committee he wants to join.

The junior NEEVer is he, who was locked in a room for what seemed like eternity as he endured entire freshman year of senior related, shall we say, “interactions”, in a few minutes.

The junior NEEVer is he who fought with his own batchmates in GDs and tasks as he strived to be the one selected.

The junior NEEVer is he who endured review after review of his performance and constantly felt guilty about not living up to a standard he felt was necessary in this exclusive cult.

The junior NEEVer is he who wants to carve out a spot for himself among this group of insane, fun loving, never say die attitude filled bulls, who continue to set a standard and precedent every single year.

The junior NEEVer is he who eats chingles. Ok that is just this year’s junior NEEVers.

This year’s Junior NEEVers are all this and much more.

Three months into our anointment into this cult called NEEV and it’s not hard to see the difference in ourselves. The best part is, even greater things now lay ahead. We have taken stress tests, cold calling rejections, and monotonous frustrations and are still here ready to rage.

This year, the junior team is here… to Surge. 

The start of something big

Every institution has a spirit, an essence. Something that embodies all the values cherished by it and something that cannot be seen or heard, but has to be experienced. As far as SCMHRD is concerned, its spirit is undoubtedly represented by its annual fest NEEV.

Every year thousands of students and corporate from across the country come to witness this grand 3-day spectacle, that has fast become one of the most talked about b-school events of the country. However, in a change of gargantuan proportions, this year the event will transcend all boundaries by going global, with participants coming in from various corners of the world, making us one of the few colleges in the country to do so.

Not only are we well on our way to making it a bigger event in terms of colleges from other countries being involved, we are also trying to increase the magnitude of all the sub-events across the three days including the well renowned competition Augustus, the Corporate Playoffs as well as the eagerly anticipated Celebrity Night.

NEEV has been and will always be the pride of our college. It is also an event that has always been about us, the students. So cherish it, experience it, LIVE IT!!!
