Pallavi is happy and excited as she has got placed with Deloitte. Just talk to her for a few minutes and you realize she really deserves it. She comes across as a very mature and intelligent person. Confidence in her voice is infectious. She thanks Jaipuria Noida for this total transformation in her personality. “At Jaipuria, they teach and train you to become managers. Communication classes, personality development sessions, presentations, projects, and seminars are regular part of the curriculum that imparts so much of practical training that when you appear for interviews , you don’t get nervous,” says Pallavi.
Jaipuria Noida curriculum stresses on practical training which helps students excel when they enter in the corporate world. Placement cell of the Jaipuria prepares students for placement interviews through mock interview techniques and make every effort to invite best names of the industry for oncampus placement interviews. “Despite bad market condition and depressing global economy, Jaipuria Noida, has witnessed a big jump in terms of average package and better profile,” informs Anup K. Singh, Director of Jaipuria Noida.
But don’t presume her interview was a cake walk. On the contrary, it was very grilling and she had to face four rounds of interviews. She did her internship in finance and hersummer internship project was to evaluate the validity of a project in Indian Oil Corporation. It being a hard core finance project required her to doa lot of research and evaluation wok.“Duringall rounds of interview, I was quizzed on every aspect of the project. Since, I had really worked hard during the project, I was able to impress the interview panel which decided to offer me the big ticket,” says Pallavi. She advises her juniors to take internship programme very seriously as this could prove decisive during placement interviews.
Soon, she will be saying adieu to Jaipuria to embark on her career journey. “Apart from the Masti and Dhamaal of campus life, I am going to miss the excellent teaching faculty. They are always eager to help out students and solve their problems,” says Pallavi getting nostalgic about the days spent at campus.
Pallavi believes that in order to succeed in corporate world, it is an advantage to specialize in either marketing or finance. “But, even if you have decided to specialize in other subjects, just pay full attention to it and never adopt chalta hai attitude,” cautions Pallavi to her juniors.
She terms her two years at Jaipuria Noida as a roller coaster ride. “I really enjoyed my two years and it was great learning experience,” says Pallavi. Well, her journey in real corporate world is about to begin, and she can’t wait to embark on her voyage.

There are many who realise they can do better in life, and yet choose to carry on doing whatever is it that they do. Paridhi Nigam is not one of them. The day she realised that she did not want to be a journalist – she did not want to be the person asking questions, but the one answering them – she decided to enter the world of management. She chose Jaipuria ,Noida to align her skills to this new found goal.
“During journalism, I had the opportunity of interviewing several celebrities. This was a huge confidence booster. But I needed a top-notch B-school like Jaipuria, Noida to help me align my journalistic skills towards management. The faculty at Jaipuria, Noida guided me quite well on the kind of managerial skills that I needed to enhance. Journalism is a totally different ball-game as compared to management, and Jaipuria, Noida helped me figure this out. ‘Supportive’ and ‘co-operative’ are understatements for the faculty at Jaipuria, Noida. You can walk up to any faculty member of Jaipuria, Noida and ask them the most basic questions with the full confidence of being taken seriously.”
Paridhi was able to crack one of the most sought after profiles in Jaipuria, Noida. About a month back, she was picked up by Mancer Consulting – one of the best known recruitment consulting firms in the country providing ‘across the spectrum’ recruitment services to their clients – as a Management Trainee in the IT- team. Once she completes 6 months of service, she will be promoted to the role of a Management Consultant.
Paridhi believes it is her strong small-town roots from Unnao – a small town near Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh – and the corporate alignment provided by Jaipuria, Noida, that has helped her beat the competition, and get this far.
“Today I understand why I was the only one shortlisted from Jaipuria, Noida amongst a dozen who applied for the position. It needs a different kind of confidence when 90% of your work is to speak to candidates about their JD, to figure out if they are the right choice for the defined profile. This job also requires you to grasp the nitty-gritty of a completely new domain very quickly, something which is bread-and-butter for a journalist. I remember being asked in my interview, as to how will I cope with new technology for which we will be recruiting for our clients. My answer was ‘learning is the first step for everything’. In essence, that is what I learnt at Jaipuria, Noida.
Paridhi believes that a management student has the opportunity – and should be involved – in the co-curricular events that Jaipuria, Noida has to offer. She feels that Jaipuria, Noida provides its students with a fairly enjoyable campus life, but when it comes to discipline and the enhancement of learning, nothing is taken lightly.
