BEA B Schools - Kurukshetra

It's a jungle out there. Only the fittest and the mightiest can survive. In today's corporate battles, one requires a solid armament of critical hard skills that can make the difference between affluence and perdition.

BEA B Schools, as the major event is called, is a game open to all B-Schools around India. It kicks off with an intensely fought paper competition between the teams that are taking part. The victors of this round match wits against each other in a quiz. And finally, the champions of the quiz move out to play one of the biggest and most unique battles ever fought on this planet .. They play Kurukshetra.

Kurukshetra is a real-time physical simulation game where teams are required to muster up all the knowledge they have about fields as diverse as Marketing, Finance, Systems, Operations and HR. They play the game over quarters trying to maximize their returns by beating the market through sheer understanding and application of concepts.

The game drew a tremendous response in its second year last year. Participants in the game came from a myriad of the Top B-schools viz. IIM-A, IIM-B, IIM-C, XLRI, MDI, NITIE, IIFT and SP Jain.

The countdown for the Battle Royalé has begun. It is just a matter of time now, before the warriors assemble to fight out a war like none other..
