Janus 2020

Jyoti Nivas College Autonomous, Bangalore arranged a Janus fair on the 28^th of February,2020. It was a combination of a job fair, alumni meet and a Under25 Summit.

This day began at 10 a.m. with the inauguration of the job fair by the principal, Dr. Sr. Elizabeth. Following this was a brief introduction of the partnering companies by Mouna. The stalls were then set up and first visited by the principal herself.

These stalls were open for students from all years and streams. It was a wonderful chance for the students to get an insight on their opportunities for higher studies abroad and internship courses. Most of them signed up for the internship courses available while some also took advantage of the institutions that helped the students pursue higher education oversea. This continued till the end of the day.

Simultaneously, the alumni meet started at 10:30 a.m. in the St. Joseph’s Auditorium. This was the first ever alumni meet that marked the glorious 25 years of the media studies in JNC.

It began with a prayer followed by an alumni meet video. The alumni were welcomed by Father Saji and a dance performance by the students of the B Voc Department.

Next, Dr. Shanta gave a ‘Down the Lane’ speech which was followed by the alumni interaction moderated by Ms. Naureen. This event ended with a vote of thanks.

The alumni meet was filled with an atmosphere of nostalgia and with a bunch of stories of the alumni. They shared their experience in JNC and the outside world after leaving their beloved college. It was a great occasion for everyone to meet and catch up with their fellow classmates and teachers.

The alumni, staff, class and sports representatives moved to the food stalls for their lunch at 12:30 p.m.

Then began the most awaited event, the Under25 Summit at 3:00 p.m. in the auditorium. The host, an ex-student of JNC, started the show by making the audience sing and dance for an African song, ‘Macarena’. After this ice breaker session, Shreyans Jain, the co-founder of Under25 talked about the 5 languages of love.

Mukta, a 17-year-old brilliant singer, then performed for 30 minutes, showcased her talent and pleased all the students who attended this event. Coach Mogambo then spoke about why fitness is necessary and conducted an impromptu competition where the 3 winners won a one-month free membership at his gym.

The last motivational speaker was Aishwarya Suresh, who stressed on following your dreams. This talk was surely the perfect way to end the event.

The entire day was thus a success and was the best way to mark 25 years of media studies at JNC. This journey was surely worth celebrating.
