Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also.
- C.H. Cooley

As the new admit to Jokaland bids adieu to his family, friends and colleagues, packs up his bags and gets on that train to Howrah, one the many myriad thoughts on his mind is “Will I fit into the new campus?” Its a brand new experience staying in a self-contained campus with more than 700 other students, eating together in the mess, living in wings and meeting them day in a day out for two years. IIM Calcutta is one very large, fun-loving and diverse family. Just like any other family we have our own lingo, our “codewords” and our rituals. Jokaland proactively welcomes every new family member with open arms. In your two years here, you meet some of the most eccentric, funny, caring, brilliant and above all considerate people. You make friends for life, find new new interests and grow immeasurably as a person. One of the key learning tools in any management program is through peers and the quality of the peers one may hope to find here is unsurpassed.

Joka-ites believe in working hard and partying harder. After a week of sleepless mid-term examinations, an all night party at OH quad is indeed a welcome relief. The in-house band JBSBaroC, an institution in itself, can be heard belting out one chart-topper after the other at these enduring nights of fun and frolic.

On a chilly winter evening in December if you thought of going for a movie, well look no further. IIM C’s Dramatics Cell productions are certainly no less fun than what’s on at INOX. If you wanted to see the hills of North Bengal or tigers at the Sunderbans, our Adventure Club is always here to take you on that trip of a lifetime.

IIM Calcutta believes in letting you be anyone you want to be. If you have twinkle toes and want to put on those dancing shoes, Choreo Club will give you the stage to express yourself. whether you lover literature or cinema there are forums to further every interest. After a long day’s grill at the Academic Block, you can have a great evening with your buddies playing the IIM C game “Footer-volley”. All work and no play makes every Joka-ite a dull boy or girl. IIM C prepares a person not only for the arena of managemnt but for the arena of Life.
