The NSBM programme is of six months
duration, from July to December 2011. The selected 20 Student Brand Managers
have the important role of bringing the brand closer to the general public and especially
to the Indian student community via creative marketing initiatives. Following

projects. Also, apart from working on different projects, these students will
develop unique events for creating a buzz around the brand in the student
community.
The competition was open to all

and advertising world.
