Info –Talk
12th August, ‘09
The success as well as the failures of the previous term, brought to us, more sense of
responsibility to live up to the expectations of the KGPians, but most importantly, to
compensate for our past mistakes. An efficient recruitment process hence became our
priority. The August Recruitment Drive started with the event Info Talk, held on 12th August'
09, with a view to give an introductory talk on AIESEC and its functioning in Kharagpur.
Hosted by Aproop and
Ninoto, Vice President
Traineeship Nominee and
Vice President Outgoing
Exchange, and sponsored by
Roads, this event turned out to
be a huge success with a turn
up of 140 students!!
Comprising mainly of 1st and
2nd yr students,the 2 hour
event included briefing the
audience with AIESEC, as a
global organisation, its role,
values and the organisational
structure of AIESEC IIT
Kharagpur. The target was to
explain the recruitment process and the job roles of the members and hence create an urge in
the students to join AIESEC IIT Kharagpur. The audience got an opportunity to interact with
2 of our EPs. This was followed by description of the internships opportunities available this
year and an open to all query round. Selling of the membership application forms marked the
end. The impact that the event had on the students is very well reflected from the fact that 96
forms got sold out of 100, while we still had interested students waiting in queue!!

her name, the Ice-breaker in which one was asked to tell a thing about the person to
his left that he disliked and one thing about the person to his right that he liked, the

After Math:
After the seminar, all the members were taken for dinner to Sibani restaurant located
at about a 20 minutes drive from the campus. Four vehicles were used for transport.
At Sibani we were joined by the AIESEC alumni and the evening started with
everyone introducing oneself by telling his name followed by a truth and a lie about
himself. It turned to be very pleasurable as people turned up with very candid truths
and sporty lies about themselves. This was followed by ‘Skolling’ a game which is
very close to soft
drink drinking race
between the older
members against
the new recruits and
the executive body
against the alumni.
The snacks were
served and
everyone now sat
down around the
table for the most
awaited event of the
evening ‘Screw the
seniors’. In this
everyone especially
the new recruits got
an opportunity to interact with their seniors and ask them any questions whether
relevant or not. This turned out to be very interesting as well as useful as besides
being entertaining this helped in the induction of the newer members in the society.
Everyone answered their questions very sportingly and came out with the most
enjoyable way. This gave way to dance and after that the dinner was served and
people got a chance to interact among themselves and got to know each other better.
The evening ended on a happy note and everyone returned looking forward to
wonderful term ahead.
