St. Xaviers’ University and Bhawanipur Education Society stole the show winning the trophies across multiple categories with Army Institute taking up most of the runners up position.

The event was also graced by Mr. Jimmy Tangree, head of Friends 91.9 FM as the judge for the Battle of Bands and Ms. Prarthana Sarkar, 2018 winner of Miss Femina Bengal as the judge for the Fashion show.

There were more performances from Amity University for solo singing, Army Institute of Law (for online category of events) and several other Institutes.

Principal, Dr. Abhishek Kumar expressed ideas for introducing more management related games next year onwards. This is the first time Army Institute hosted Inferno at its New-Town campus with eighteen categories of events and plans to incorporate more. The department of Student Affairs will continue to encourage the young generation for creative manifestation of art, ingenuity, sportsmanship, oration, team-building, leadership to exchange ideas with other colleges and raise the bar for themselves.

The future managers also got a chance to display their marketing skills at the Bazarre segment. Students had put up stalls for food and beverages, face and body painting, portraits along with a stall displaying handmade products from the Army Wives Welfare Association. Delectable cuisines such as Litti-chokha, Italian Pasta, Paneer tikka, Samosa chaat and many more food items were available for sale. There were also some game stalls for sharp-shooting and ping-pong balls that offered gifts on successful attempts. The epic three day festival saw its culmination with a Live band performance by “Revolution” dishing out popular Hindi numbers such as Sadda Haq and Urvashi Urvashi. Students have been dying to take part in such a once in a lifetime experience in their college life. The memories of this Inferno will linger in their minds for the rest of their lives.
