Sports Committee
Sports not only help in maintaining physical fitness and well-being but
also inculcate important traits of being a team player. These traits
guide students in handling stressful environments in professional and
personal domains. The Sports Committee has been instrumental in
providing a platform to the student community to nurture their
enthusiasm for sports. The Sports Committee Organizes sports events
throughout the year, such as Inter hostel events – Games during
festivals, matches between batches, between students and faculty
and between students and staff. This year the sports committee was
successful in organizing IIM Jammu’s biggest auction-based sports
event – FUNATHON. Moreover, Gymnasium was made functional from
this year onwards. Sports committee not just helped witness a great
level of participation but also helped us discover great talents in
various sports.

Corporate Communications
Committee
Corporate Communication Committee (CCC) seeks to brand IIM
Jammu in the long run. It looks after all internal and external
communications & publications and also serves as an official
spokesperson for the Institute. By ensuring the Institute’s strong
presence in social networking platforms as well as digital and press
media, the Committee enhances publicity of the multifarious events
that unfold within. CCC
maintains a close-knit community of media relations cells in other
institutes for external communication. Apart from this, the team also
provides assistance in the induction of new batches by addressing
queries of prospective candidates and facilitating the smooth conduct
of the whole admission process by timely dissemination of
information.
