The 5 wings of Sympulse

In 2010, SCMS-UG held four separate college fests with different objectives: Ananya, Sprint, SIMUNC and Symulate. Ananya was focused on cultural activities, Sprint was focused on sport-related activities, SIMUNC was focused on global topics and Symulate was focused on business-related activities. In 2010 the student council decided to merge them and create a single, larger fest called Sympulse. These four fests became wings of Sympulse, and their events were held simultaneously across the five days. Over time, Sympulse grew into five distinct wings (Ananya, Symulate, Sprint, Headline Events, and SIMUNC).

Ananya

Ananya is the cultural platform which encourages creativity and artistic events. It is known to be the fun element of Sympulse because it plays host to various cultural art forms. The list of categories it covers is given below:

Literary arts

Workshops
Informals
On the spot events

The events held within each category are not standardized, therefore each year the committee has new events to suit the theme of Sympulse along with previously successful events.

Management

Sympulse is an entirely student-run college festival. There are 18 departments which co-ordinate and manage the fest by sharing responsibility of operations. These 18 departments consist of various people contributing towards the objective of the department. The objectives are monitored by the Heads of the Departments (HOD). A department may have one or two HODs. These HODs are responsible for everything that takes place within their departments. They further report to the Executive team, which consist of seven individuals who oversee the co-ordination of the 18 departments. These Executives then report to the Vice President and President of Sympulse, who are in-charge of the "whole picture". The President is then liable to keep the Faculty in-charge updated and well informed. All the processes that take place to make Sympulse happen must be approved by the hierarchy. The entire organizing committee consists of approximately 400 people.
