About the conference
An institution for student diplomacy
Model United Nations exists to train the instincts of international negotiation — argument from evidence, compromise under constraint, and the discipline to yield the floor and hold it again. IMUN was conceived to give Indian student delegates that training in its most exacting, formal form.
The conference runs under a structured Rules of Procedure, staffed committees and an independent dais. It is measured by the depth of its resolutions and the conduct of its chamber, not by the poster.

What defines the session
Standing commitments
Every part of the conference is accountable to these commitments.
Substantive agendas
Committees take up current international questions and negotiate working papers. Research guides are issued ahead of the session.
An independent dais
Chairs keep time, keep order and keep the record, applying procedure evenly to every delegate in the room.
Awards and commendations
Outstanding delegates are recognised at the closing ceremony under an awards structure published in the conference guide.
“A resolution is not won at the podium. It is won in the hours spent reading, drafting and persuading.”

The delegate experience
What a delegate actually does
Train before you speak
A pre-conference orientation covers the Rules of Procedure, how to write a position paper and how to hold a committee room. First-time delegates are not thrown in unguided.
Prepare with research
Every delegate receives a committee research guide before the session. Committee work begins with preparation, not at the podium.
Speak under the gavel
Speaking rights rotate through the room, so formal address and substantive debate reach more than a handful of voices.
Negotiate on paper
Resolutions are drafted, amended and voted. Building blocs, trading language and defending it on the floor is the heart of the exercise.
Leave with a certificate
Delegates who complete the session receive a signed certificate of participation. Award winners are recognised at the closing ceremony.
05
Why participate
The case for the floor
Speak with discipline
Structured procedure turns nerves into technique: the formal register of negotiation, and the ability to hold a room on merit.
Read the world closely
Preparing a country's position on a live question trains you to argue from evidence, anticipate objections and adjust when the facts shift.
Leave with a record
A signed certificate of participation, and for the strongest delegations an award that stands on its own.

The registration form asks for three preferences in order. Allotment is made by the secretariat on the basis of your stated preferences, your Model UN experience and availability. We recommend selecting committees you are genuinely interested in rather than ones you expect to be less contested.
No. IMUN accommodates both first-time delegates and experienced speakers. The experience section of the form helps us guide you towards an appropriate committee and support the level of debate.
