GURU PURNIMA 
CELEBRATIONS
On the occasion of Guru Purnima, IISM students organized a grand event at the campus. The  
entire team of IISM were called in for the celebration and everyone were touched by this 
gesture  of the students.
The students presented our Founder Director, Mr. Nilesh Kulkarni & Co-founder Ms. Rasika  
Kulkarni with hand-made portraits to commemorate their valuable contribution in enriching the 
 students lives. The portraits were made by SYBSM student Ms. Agnes Jeena.
The efforts taken by them on organizing the events represent their management and 
organization  skills. The students added several elements of entertainment to create a sense of 
novelty for the  faculty members. The entire team is proud of the fact that students organized 
everything right  from the conceptualization to the execution of the event. Everyone was 
thrilled to witness the  efforts taken by the students.

IISM'S GOT TALENT
On account of 'World Youth Skills Day,' the students of IISM organized IISM's Got Talent, a 
show  where the students got a chance to showcase their skills apart from their excellent 
skills in  sports. The event was completely conceptualised and executed by the students.
We had 19 students performing various art forms like dancing, singing, gymnastics, stand-up  
comedy, and last but not the least shayari. The purpose of such events is to encourage 
students  to be the best at cultural activities. IISM does not just plan on grooming the 
students to excel in  the field of sports, but to also excel in other domains as well.

Time after time, the love for sports gets lost after 12th due to several reasons like lack of  
opportunities to pursue an education in sports, peer pressure to take up a conventional career,  
etc. Because of this, students find it arduous to choose sports as their profession.
However, IISM has always worked hard to break that stereotype and give passionate sports 
lovers  a chance to pursue a formal education in sports. IISM provides two undergraduate 
programs that  a sports lover can pursue after 12th and they are; Bachelor of Sports 
Management & Bachelor of  Sports Science
Any student with an aggregate of 50% for Open Category & 45% for reserved category in all the  
subjects can enrol in the Bachelor of Sports Management degree program. However to enrol in  
Bachelor of Sports Science degree program the student must have scored a minimum of 50%  
Passed with Physics, Chemistry, Biology of any State Board/ CBSE/ or other equivalent board.
If you have the desire and passion to work in the sorts industry the field welcomes you with 
open  arms. To know more about these exciting career choices, click the link below and read 
the entire  blog.
