Vinculum, as the name suggests, symbolizes the bond between the VGSoM and IIT Kharagpur fraternity.
Vinculum is the cultural fest organized under the brand of the Vinod Gupta School of Management, to bring together various departments of IIT Kharagpur, professors, students of VGSoM MBA and EMBA course, as well as the alumni to share some quality time with us, it helps us in gaining popularity, recognition & also strengthen our relationship with other departments.
IIT Kharagpur is a unique campus that represents quality and diversity in the field of education, where the best brains from various parts of India come to pursue their dreams of becoming engineers, scientists, academicians, lawyers and managers.
Vinculum – the cultural festival of VGSoM celebrates the spirit of the school of management of IIT Kharagpur by bringing together people from diverse educational backgrounds on the same podium.
Vinculum which began with this idea in 2012 was a huge success. With the marathon that saw massive participation from different departments of IIT and the overwhelming response to the guest lecture by the much celebrated Mumbai Dabbawallas who redefined quality in the service sector, it can be said that the purpose of Vinculum was well served.

VINCULUM 2013 reinforced the facets that were explored in 2012. It was held on 8th and 9th of March 2013. Vinculum began on the evening of 8th March with Cult Night, there were awesome song, dance, skit performances not just by the students of both the batches but also by the professors. There were events like classical dance, western dance, Harlem shake, Bangla one act skit, singing performances etc. The event was woven around International women’s day, and there was a cake cutting ceremony for the women of VGSoM. The cultural program was followed by a sumptuous dinner in the VGSoM foyer and a makeshift DJ for the students.
The next day promised more fun and enthusiasm and it truly lived up to the expectations. The day began with a Marathon that was open for each and every member of the IIT Kharagpur family; the 4.4 km run began at Gymkhana and ended at VGSoM, the students, professors and support staff participated in the event by waking up in the wee hours of the morning and wholly supporting an important cause of Women empowerment. T-Shirts were given to the first 40 people who completed the run and certificates to the winners in 3 categories namely boys, girls and faculties.
