Alumni Speak Jaipuria Jaipur

“I am working very hard to be the kind of teacher who inspires her students. I want to be like my teachers in Jaipuria Institute of Management.”

As a teacher of Commerce in Kanoria PG College, Jaipur, Ruchika Jhuraney teaches Business Administration. She is also pursuing a PhD in Marketing from the University of Rajasthan (Business Administration department) at the same time.

“I am a product of the 2007-09 batch of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur. It was really wonderful to see Jaipuria Institute of Management deliver on its promise of a good placement, when I was placed on-campus with Genpact as Management Trainee. Mind you, we passed out just when the recession hit the markets. I experienced corporate life in Genpact, but soon decided to switch to teaching as I wanted to share the knowledge I had gained with other students.”

With her impressive credentials, Ruchika had no trouble in being taken on as faculty at Kanoria College. She also cleared the University of Rajasthan entrance exam for her PhD(MPAT).

“I have lots of wonderful memories of Jaipuria Institute of Management, but what impressed me most – and was one of the reasons for my shifting to academia – was the guidance of teachers who knew their subjects so well and were always willing to solve their students’ doubts. The facility of studying in a well-stocked library at one’s own convenience is also something I remember fondly.Completing projects and preparing presentations in groups, and coordinating various competitions, fests, and Abhyudaya – Jaipuria’s annual management fest – helped us develop team spirit.Even today, I’m in constant touch with the faculty members and my batch-mates from Jaipuria Jaipur on Whatsapp, as well as other social networking sites. Itry not to miss the alumni meets and management fests.”

As a teacher by choice, Ruchika believes that good teachers are the need of the hour.

“I am working very hard to be that kind of a teacher – a teacher who inspires. I want to help my students develop real interest in their subjects and not to just study for the sake of it. I want to be like my teachers in Jaipuria Institute of Management.Studying at Jaipuria Jaipur helped me develop a long-lasting interest inand aptitude for the process of education. Making frequent presentations helped us to get rid of stage fright and develop more confidence and faith in ourselves. Irrespective of whether it’s the corporate world or academia, the ability to address and engage a lot of people at the same time is worth its weight in gold.”

Ruchika believes that Jaipuria Institute prepared her along the lines of the Bhagvada Geeta–‘Work hard, compete harder, and leave the result to the powers that be’.

“I am having a great time as a teacher. My students are the nearly the same age as I am, so it’s easier to understand and teach them; it’s easier to relate to their problems and subject-related anxieties since I’ve beenin that situation very recently. I am positive that I will be able to carve out a niche for myself in academia – as a teacher as well as researcher – and make my mentors in Jaipuria Institute of Management proud.”

Ruchika has been keenly observing the phenomenal growth in the numbers of national and international seminars and conferences for its students, as well as FDPs for faculty across the Rajasthan region. She is extremely proud of the fact that Jaipuria Jaipur is playing the role of the leading management college in Rajasthan with great aplomb.

Jaipuria Noida Placement Update

“Every time I sought suggestions from the Faculty, their answers made me feel that they were always there for me.”

For Jahnvi Singh, the placement months at Jaipuria had been very challenging, but with the support of her faculty and peers at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida she had emerged stronger. Jahnvi recalls how her mentors at Jaipuria Institute of Management where always there for her right through the interviewing process for Gati KWE.

“GatiKintetsu Express Private Limited, better known as Gati KWE, is one of the dream companies – along with the likes of Tata-McGraw Hill, Bose Corporation and Apeejay Group – that recruited this year at Jaipuria Institute of Management. Gati KWE had an elaborate 3-stage recruitment process. The first stage was a GD on the topic ‘India is not safe for women’. It was a good discussion. Although I did not initiate the discussion, I spoke about what mattered the most. In a GD,you need not set the ball rolling every time, but you do need to make your presence matter.”

The second stage of the Gati KWE interviewing process was a case study presentation. Jahnvi had been given a four-page case on inventory management to read and analyse for 15 minutes, after which she was to present the case study. At the end of her presentation, she had been asked just two quick questions by the recruiters and then dismissed with a short “ok thanks”.
“I was not sure whether this was good or bad. When the results came out, I had cleared the round. Apparently I was not quizzed because the recruiters realised that I knew what I was speaking about.”

The final round was a ‘stress interview’ conducted by the senior management at the Gati KWE office.

“I had barely stepped into the room when the members of the interviewing panel startedbombarding me with questions and observations like “Being a girl, why do you want to be in sales?”, “We don’t think you willbe able to do the job!”, “You like working in isolation”, “You are not a team player”. Months of Personality Development classes at Jaipuria Institute of Management had prepared me for such a scenario. Isimply kept mum, till the questions subsided. I then told them that since it would not be possible for me to answer all the questions at the same time, the questions could be asked again one by one. The panelists burst out laughing.By the end of the interview, the panelists were offering me tea and biscuits!”

Out of the sea of applicants, aspirants and dream-seekers from numerous management colleges across the country, Jahnvi Singh was the chosen to join the dream company for many, GatiKintetsu Express Private Limited.

“My peers at Jaipuria Institute of Management have been my greatest support. They were the pillars when I felt I would not be able to stand by myself. I owe them a lot for their criticism; I am better off for it.We’ve been given the opportunity to join the best companies at Jaipuria Institute of Management. Surprisingly, we saw no indications of the economic slowdown everyone is speaking of.”

Jahnvi Singh will shortly be joining GatiKintetsu Express Pvt. Ltd. in the capacity of Management Trainee. After a year of training,she will take on the responsibilities of Assistant Manager – Sales. As of now, Jahnvi is busy enjoying her last few days at Jaipuria Institute of Management.
