LIFE@SRIRAM
The life of any SRIRAM student can be aptly described in only one word, ACTIVE. Apart from academics and regular skill building sessions the students get a lot of opportunities for all round personality development and grooming. The institute organizes a lot of events throughout the academic year to make this academic experience a fruitful and memorable journey for the students. Cultural activities, sports, literary events, clubs and committees are all various avenues of self exploration and development. The various events that make SRIRAM the most happening place to be in are:

• Orientation Programme:

We begin with the Orientation programme. Every new academic year brings with it fresh batch of students to the campus as day scholars and hostellers who require a lot of support and guidance as they are entering a completely new scenario. The institute ensures proper settling down of students by conducting an orientation programme in the campus.
The objective is to familiarize the students with the infrastructure and the academic resources of the institute. The students are informed in detail about the course structure, teaching pedagogies and the expected level of involvement and efforts required from the side of the students. They are introduced to all the faculty and staff members and also allotted faculty mentors. These mentors provide guidance to their respective mentees throughout the year and facilitate grooming in personal and professional domains.
The programme is generally followed by a Fresher’s party after a month which is organized by the senior students to welcome their new friends in a formal manner.

• Management Fest:

SRIRAM organizes the Management Fest every year, wherein management students from several colleges come together and compete with each other to exhibit their talents. It provides a perfect platform to the students to improve their managerial panache. The judges are invited from the Industry to help the students gain inputs about current trends in different management streams. Experiential Learning is the main idea on which the entire fest is based upon. The events are industry oriented and the tasks given to the participants allow them to get a feel of the corporate world. It can also be called a demo exercise wherein students get to exhibit and hone their skills and develop special insight as to how to handle some real business situations.

Given below is the list of competitive events which are a part of the fest.

• Business Advancement
• Sell your Ideas
• Corporate Hazes
• Knowledge War
• Business Quiz
• Ad Mad shows
• Corporate Seminar

• Cultural  Fest Confluence:

 Cultural and literary activities play a vital role in the enhancement of the personality. Apart from recreation, these activities provide a wonderful platform for developing confidence and team spirit in students. The institute organizes its annual inter-institute cultural fest, Confluence every year in the month of February. The fest plays host to a plethora of entertaining and colourful activities like, dance, drama, singing, skit, debates, creative writing, rangoli, painting, collage etc.  The students get two days of fun filled exposure in the form of organizing, managing and participating in these events.
The last night of the fest witnesses live performance by a musical band of repute, to give an enthralling end to the fest.

• Sports Meet Sangthan:

Sangthan explores healthy avenues to release the youth’s capacities, develop their physical abilities, build self-confidence, will-power and goal setting competencies and instill in the young minds a vision that enables them to become self-motivated agents of social change to serve the healthy interests of all beyond national boundaries.
For every sportsperson at SRIRAM, this Meet sets the pace and is the ultimate platform to showcase one's sporting prowess. It is the time to put in every drop of energy left to try and get an edge over the competitors. Every movement radiates the commitment, dedication and the confidence of the players. The meet offers the students an opportunity to participate in their favorite sport on a competitive or recreational level. Leagues are available in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor sports including cricket, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, carrom, chess etc. 

• Camps and Excursions:

The institute regularly organizes camps for students to rejuvenate their spirits and minds and also train them in skills like, leadership, initiation, positive attitude, team behavior etc.
Annual Blood Donation camps are organized in the campus to instill the sense of social responsibility in the students. The students act as volunteers in arranging the entire setup and also donate blood along with the faculty and staff members.
Students are taken for outdoor trips and adventure camps, which help the students in developing a robust, resilient and more importantly a sporting personality.
An outdoor trip of such type was organized for the previous batch in collaboration with Tata Steel Adventure Foundation. The students were taken to Garhwal, Uttranchal wherein they camped for 8 days.
Using the medium of Adventure as a distinct advantage the camp allowed everyone in the programme to start at an equal footing, since the activities and the surroundings were both unfamiliar. The entire energy of the students was devoted to achieving one goal after the other.  In this process, learning was not only about the skill of doing the activity but also on the Developmental aspects underlining each activity.  The training system followed by TSAF was learner centered, with the Instructors acting as facilitators in the learning process.  Debriefing sessions held after the activity enabled the students to extract the learning which became a part of their own achievement. The students enjoyed thoroughly in activities like river rafting and rock climbing.
