Who can Participate?

What will be my key takeaway from the event?

Simulations are useful for assessing the ability to apply knowledge in a real-world setting. The assessment measures your ability to think critically and apply your knowledge in a practical setting, rather than simply recall facts.It is an excellent platform for experienced professionals to try different approaches and form new strategies.

In contrast, young B-School students can have an enriching experience and gain abundant knowledge by applying their theoretical knowledge and visualizing its impact in a simulated environment. The best aspect of HR SIMULATHON-2023 is that the contestant can take maximum risk without worrying about grave consequences and see if their decisions make a crash landing or perfect touchdown. So that the participants can fasten their seat belts and steer toward well-earned rewards.
