Behind the Pearly Gates...

While Innovision is a spectacular fest held every year by NIT Rourkela, ever wondered about how students get to be part of this mind blowing event?

The preparations start by the 3^rd week of August with posters being put throughout the campus asking interested students to assemble in the SAC (student activity centre) on a specified date and time. On the day of inductions interested candidates are tested on their technical skills, contributions to the previously conducted Innovision and general knowledge on the SACs functioning.

One of the most frequently asked questions is to find faults in the previous year’s Innovision and to suggest new ideas for the next one. This is a crucial step in developing new ideas and implementing them. Based on their response and interests, students are put into one of the teams below:

Transportation: They ensure hassle free transport for dignitaries, performers and important guests both inside and outside the campus.

Publicity: These guys publicize the event ensuring maximum participation from colleges throughout India. They also relay any exciting developments, news and trivia.

Decoration: Ensuring the campus is full of colour and pumped with vigour during the fest is one of the primary responsibilities of the decoration team.

Content creation: Responsible for the post you are currently reading along with other things.

Sponsorship: Quite obvious…

Event management: They bridge the gap between the SAC and clubs by responding to the needs of various clubs, allotting time slots and locations to conduct events.

Hospitality: Help desk, taking care of and making arrangements for participants from other colleges.

The inducted candidates work as coordinators in the above mentioned teams. Each team works rigorously to ensure that Innovision ’14 can be conducted without any hassles or red faces.

Volunteers are also inducted by coordinators to help them accomplish their respective tasks.
