IIMA's vocabulary - Part 2

Coldcall: Being invited/dragged/pushed into the ongoing discussion in class by the instructor. Often involves random selection [in some cases randomization can go to an extent of rand and randbetween functions of excel]. One of the most dreaded dreams of any student if he/she is not prepared for the class.

Dunking: IIMA's way of celebrating holi 24x7 throughout the year. Throwing water on anyone, no reason is required & generally no questions are asked. Mostly performed from upper floors of every dorm. Persons from opposite sex and other dorms are primary target of such attacks. Regularly used during birthday celebrations.

REM: Historically meant as REMedial sessions, they now serve as crash courses on various subjects. Generally taken by Profs, TAs and Tuchchas. Sometime even fellow fachchas can take up the responsibility. Hold significant importance in life of any student in IIMA. Their contribution to final grades is unquestionable.
