Making a departure from earlier practice, the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta has conducted a virtual city meet via Zoom this year for the new batch of students, in the wake of the pandemic situation. Traditionally, these annual city meets are held physically across India for the incoming batch where new students get an opportunity to interact with current students, renowned alumni, and their future batch mates.

It also gives them an insight into the life that awaits them at Joka. Last year also the city meet was also held in virutal mode due to the coronavirus pandemic. An IIM-C spokesman said on Friday that a total of 480 participants attended these meets recently including students from the incoming batch, current batch and distinguished alumni. The mets were organized by IIM (C) External Relations Cell, across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.
