Three-day workshop at MNIT

JAIPUR: It was supposed to be a normal day at the stock exchange. The moment news spread that West Bengal government has rejected the proposal of an IT giant to set up an IT park in the state, “investors” rushed to the brokers and sold their shares anticipating a dip in the market.
This was not real but a scene at the “virtual Dalal Street” set up in the old library on MNIT campus on Saturday. It was a part of their ongoing three-day exercise at the workshop.
The event has attracted more than 264 teams from 60 colleges, including engineering and management, from across the country. This exercise in stock market dealing was a part of an educational event.
There were seven rounds in the whole event. Every round was marked with a set of news that could have possible effect on the stock market.
Surprisingly, engineering students performed at par with the management students.
