Beyond the Classroom
Experiential learning at RCM: Day 2 of MBA Orientation 2026–28
Where Day 1 of INIZIO 2026 introduced MBA students to RCM, Day 2 puts them to work — in teams. MBA Orientation 2026–28 rotates students through activities built to surface real skills under real conditions: how a group communicates under a constraint, how it responds when a plan doesn't survive contact with the task, and how it pitches an idea it's proud of.
None of it looks like a lecture, and that's the point. Management education at RCM treats orientation as a working sample of the collaboration, planning and communication MBA students will keep practising throughout the programme.
Day 2 Activities
Four activities, four different skill sets
01
BrioBridge: building teamwork and trust
Teamwork develops through shared tasks, practice and learning from experience. BrioBridge puts new students through exactly that — a physical, collaborative challenge where the process matters as much as the outcome, surfacing how a group communicates, delegates and problem-solves under pressure.
02
Ace the Race: competition, planning and continuous improvement
Ace the Race is a competitive team activity that rewards planning and execution quality, not just speed. Teams that fall short on their first attempt get the chance to learn from it and adjust — a small, direct lesson in continuous improvement.
03
Ad Mad Show: creativity meets marketing
In the Ad Mad Show, MBA students were divided into groups and challenged to turn unconventional, often humorous concepts into pitch-ready advertising ideas. It's a fast, low-stakes way to practise the creative and commercial thinking that underpins marketing and brand-building.
04
Victors Club: sports, leadership and team spirit
Day 2 closes by handing the mic to Victors Club, RCM's sports club — a reminder, on the same day as bridges and brand pitches, that discipline and resilience get built on a field just as often as in a boardroom simulation.
RCM's Journey
From 1982 to today
RCM’s story runs a lot longer than one orientation day. The college opened in 1982 with 32 seats and a tuition fee of ₹11 — a starting point that puts INIZIO 2026 and MBA Batch 2026–28 in context, as one chapter in a much longer institutional timeline in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
