Eye to Eye

GUESS who got the party meter a few notches high this Saturday night? Bulls Eye, a MBA preparatory institute of the region, organized an alumni meet at Hotel KC Crossroads, Panchkula. The meet was organised to felicitate the achievers of the institute, who are to join the top business institutes of the country and also to celebrate the enrollment of 1800 students in Bulls eye. This year, as many as 35 students are joining IIMs from Bulls Eye. ‘‘This is a great achievement as more than 1.60 lakh students appear in the CAT with some 8500 students appearing from the region only. Only two per cent of students clear the test, which is said to be the toughest in India,’’ remarked Hirdesh Madan, regional head at Bulls eye. Present at the event were friends and associates of Bulls Eye, the faculty and the achievers. Students who had made it to the best management schools looked forward to their joining. ‘‘We already have had a freshers’ party and are excited about joining IIM,’’ said Kenney Hsieh, who had cleared all six IIMs and is joining IIM, Bangalore. Also present at the party was Misha Pratap, who topped the IIT-JMET test. ‘‘The team work at Bulls eye and the regular schedule was greatly helpful in clearing the test. The faculty is the best and helpful.’’ And that’s reason enough for a well-deserved celebration!

P.A.R.T.Y
THIS one was different. The party of Xplozon & Popcorn Event Management Group on Saturday evening, that is. With a crowd of 400 people swaying to the foot tapping tracks of DJ Sandy, K.K & Rohit, the entry was strictly restricted to couples. And on the theme The Dark Hell, with Gagan from Royal Challenge and Anup Sharma supporting the party, ‘‘The dress code was strictly black,’’ smiles Akash one of the organisers. But what took the limelight’s this — The best dancing couple won a wine bottle from Chataueindage!
