The Course Chief Co-Ordinator was Dr. David Zothansanga assisted by two Co-ordinators, namely,  Prof. Rinpari Ralte,and  Dr Lalropuii. The Coordinators were supported by a technical team from the Department of Psychology, Pachhunga University College.

The number of students enrolled was 54. The average number of participants in the sessions ranged from 45 to 50.

On the first night i.e. 1^st July 2021, a brief inaugural function was held. Prof.Rinpari Ralte chaired the function. The Principal Prof H Lalthanzara inaugurated the Course and highlighted the importance of such course. Dr. David Zothansanga gave a description of the course content and Dr Lalropuii presented a report of the Finishing School 2020.

Due to time constraint and Covid-19 pandemic, the course was limited to nine classes. As done in the previous finishing school, Practical classes could not be included this year. Topics were selected carefully through the feedback received in the previous years. The themes of classes conducted and Resource Persons of the 8^th Finishing School, 2021 were as follows:
