  • Campus Wale Couple: Launch on Jaunuary 1st

    Dear IIMCians,

     
    IIMC has been the seat of many memories for all of us. From our first tryst with journalism in its truest sense to meeting teachers who inspire us, from finding friends that will last us a lifetime to memories that are cherished forever.
     
    And some of us have been lucky enough to find the love of their lives within the corridors and lawns of IIMC. So this new year why not chronicle those beautiful couples who discovered the pink of romance amidst P2C- s, headlines and advertising!
     
    In this regard, would earnestly request all those who have found their special someone within IIMC to send in their photographs in the following email I'd alumni.iimc@gmail.com
     
    We will be creating a special album and dedicating the same to you all. We want to launch the album on January 1st in the new year.
