Mangaluru,
September 11, 2025 — The Institute of Aviation Studies at
Srinivas University successfully organized a Mock Press Event aimed at
sharpening the communication and analytical abilities of its aviation students.
The event brought together participants from BBA Aviation Management,
Aviation and Logistics Management, and Aviation, Travel and Tourism Management
programs, offering them a dynamic, real-world simulation of a press conference.

A
total of 38 students stepped into the spotlight, where they were tasked
with tackling challenging allegation-based scenarios while responding to
rapid-fire, press-style questions. This format tested their ability to stay

logical responses — qualities essential in the fast-paced aviation and business
industries.
The
audience and faculty were notably impressed by the participants’ confidence,
creativity, and professionalism, which turned the event into a lively yet
intellectually stimulating experience.

Management), both of whom demonstrated exceptional composure and
communication skills while handling difficult questions.
