Sessions are conducted on Resume making, tips on GD and PI, personal grooming, email and office etiquettes by industry stalwarts. The grooming session, which is a part of the pre TiRE exercise, aims at giving the girls and boys an opportunity to learn and practice the art of tying knot/ scarf, techniques of applying makeup and grooming for the job in presence of industry professionals.

Adding a touch of glamour to it, two workshops on dining etiquette and table manners are also held outside of the campus, with an aim to train students on dining etiquettes, table manners and usage of cutlery and napkins during formal dining settings in the corporate world. An elaborate menu is served to the students to familiarize them with various international and Indian cuisines. Students enjoy these sessions, thoroughly, while they also learn new skills.

The various rigorous activities and sessions that students undergo as a part of TiRE are
