SP Jain School of Global Management organised the sixth edition of BrainSim, a multi-player business simulation competition, on November 12, 2021. It is one of the biggest inter-school competitions in the UAE and a great platform for students to showcase their potential and bring recognition to their school.
20 schools participated in BrainSim 2021, and more than 100 students were present at the final round of simulation.
The event was hosted virtually through the Engaged Learning Online (ELO) platform that offered students a virtual and real-time classroom experience.
The business simulation competition was conducted by Nitin Patwa (Associate Professor, Director – Simulation and Deputy Director of Undergraduate Programs – Dubai, SP Jain). As part of the simulation, students were divided into teams and were asked to analyse business situations similar to real-life scenarios.
