RACE - Research and Consultancy Enterprise

RACE (Research and Consulting Enterprise) is the official consulting club at the Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad. RACE aims to create a shared platform that connects students passionate about consulting with real-world industry exposure, providing high-quality research and cultivating interest in the consulting profession among students.

RACE offers students a unique opportunity to hone their research skills and gain a deep understanding of the consulting field. With their aim to enable students to engage with the ever-changing business environment first-hand, RACE members contribute to an enriching, experience-based learning environment by providing well-researched quick reads such as CompViews for students at IMT Ghaziabad.

Throughout the year, RACE organises several engaging events:
Koncentrix: RACE’s flagship event is the national-level inter-college case study competition, with participants from top business schools across India, including Aarohan: The Consulting Conclave and Konsulenza – The National Case Study Competition.

#IAmFreshmanConsultant (IMFC): To provide first-year MBA programme students, RACE organises a strategy-focused case study competition to expose them to real-world business problem-solving.

RACE for Case: Organising interactive sessions with accomplished alumni for students aimed at providing students with deep insights into mastering case competitions. Students learn strategies for success from past winners of national business case contests.

With their key publications, Launchpad and IMT Ghaziabad Industry Insider, RACE provides comprehensive guides and preparation resources for MBA students with detailed industry reports to help students understand sector dynamics and emerging technologies like Generative AI. These publications assist students in preparing for Summer Internship Programs (SIPs), placements, and their future careers.

RACE provides digital content to support students’ placement preparation with their well-researched quick reads for students right before they step into the interview through CompViews, Gazette, Trendz, and News Snippet as their digital media initiatives. These resources offer analyses of recruiting companies, updates on business and geopolitical events, and insights into global marketing and IT trends. Weekly Social media posts like BizScan, Fundamental Analysis of Company, and Guesstimates on social media platforms cover business and geopolitical events, consulting concepts, and other relevant topics to expand students’ knowledge base.

Furthermore, RACE partners with organisations to facilitate short-term project opportunities, such as The Product Folks and Skilled Sapiens, to enhance students’ skill sets. They also partner with companies like Akshnova, Caere India, Centella, Intense Technology, and Rapyder, helping IMT Ghaziabad students develop leadership skills.
