By- Ashiti Jha

The closing ceremony of the alumni conference started with the alumni on stage. After three days of back-to-back interview sessions now was the day of wrap-up. The ceremony started with four alumni on stage: Karan Beniwal, Devshree Gauri Shukla, Kartik Shukla, and Sahil Murshid. The event started with their acting, portraying the interview situation they were dealing with for the last 3 days. "Emotions have no space in professional life, If you can not balance your emotions you are going nowhere."

The Roleplay was full of learning and fun, they showcased types of the interviewers that the students could come across. To keep the session engaging there were multiple exercises given to students in between which they needed to complete in a group. The winning group was awarded by the alumni. There were multiple tips and tricks that were shared with the students by the alumni to excel in their careers. Along with that they explained the different levels at which the interviews are done and how every level is different from others. From What to add in a CV to what to wear on the day of the interview the workshop had it all covered.
The workshop helped students know more about interviews.

The tagline and the introduction were the main topics at the start of the workshop. In the last hour, Professor Shruti Jain turned the table by asking the students to interview the alumni and ask questions that they wanted to get answered.
There were many questions asked from the students' side. "Failure is the most important part of life and to accept it is something which gets us closer to success". Every student tried connecting with the alumni and get their answers of the questions which they were not able to answer in their interview. Alongside with the answer of alumni Professor Shruti elaborated the answers and also pointed towards the trap which could be in the questions asked.
