| On day of the Event, the Venue (The Library Reading Hall) was arranged in the form of seven stalls and each group is in charge of a stall. All the groups displayed their information by way of posters, charts and power point presentations. The event started at 9.30 am and was inaugurated by our Principal Dr. Meera Vijay and visited by all the staff members and non teaching staff. |
| The students across the streams visited the stalls and encouraged their friends .The IAPM students holding the Identity cards as "Investment consultants" were very enthusiastic in explaining Return, Risk and Tax benefits of various investment avenues to the visitors. They have also distributed information pamphlets and handouts. The feedback about the show was also collected from the visitors. |
