Jaipuria Noida Placement Update

“Know your domain knowledge thoroughly and the sky will be your limit!” says Ashutosh Shukla, Batch-2014-2016, Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida

“Selecting a Business School is always a tough task for graduate students, and the choice depends upon several factors,” says Ashutosh Shukla, PGDM from the Jaipuria Institute of Management’s Noida campus (batch of 2014-16). “My selection criteria were that the college have an excellent reputation, rising placement records, experienced faculty members and a focus that not only concentrates on academics but also on extra-curricular activities.” Therefore, choosing Jaipuria, Noida was the “best decision” for Ashutosh, as all of his “expectations were fulfilled.”

Graduating with a BBA (Finance), this young man from Lucknow says that he opted to do a PGDM because he wanted to “get a holistic perspective about the business world, acquire new skills and knowledge, consolidate his business networks and get the best career opportunities.”Ashutosh got all of this and more during his time at Jaipuria, Noida. “Today,” he says“I am placed with a reputablefirm, Capital First Financial Services Ltd., and I get a good package in my role as Credit Collection Manager.”Looking back on his Summer Internship Programme (SIP) with IndusInd Bank (Consumer Finance Division),Lucknow, Ashutosh says that the topic of his dissertation was the ‘Study of Consumer Credit Appraisal for Financing Vehicle Loans and The Working of Indusind Bank’. He also explained his role with the bank: “My role was to examine consumer loans files, check the CIBIL score card and prepare CIBIL reports. I also worked as a team member in the bank’s credit department.” In this role, he credits the institute with giving him the skills and knowledge he needed to succeed: “The knowledge and skill-sets I acquired at Jaipuria, Noida helped me a great deal. I used to suffer from stage-fright, but the faculty at the Institute helped me to overcome this by the several presentations I was asked to make. We were also taught how to communicate in the right way, work in teams and acquire leadership qualities.”

Talking about his current role with Capital First, Ashutosh says his responsibilities “include coordinating and liaising with Capital First’s legal team to ensure legal action is taken against defaulting customers;initiating effective follow-up with customers and optimising resolution; ensuring a satisfactory rating in all audits and a lot more.” However, his placement was no cake walk. “It was a stressfulinterview of about 50 minutes, in which the interviewers grilled me about everything starting from my schooling to my PGDM,” he recalls. “They checked my domain knowledge and asked me several conceptual and situational-based questions. These includedthe banking and credit appraisal processes adopted by banks.” He also added that the interviewers placed a lot of importance on his SIP and “a number of questions pertained to this.”

“Two years of the PGDM at Jaipuria, Noidahave changed my life,” Ashutosh says. “I have gained lots of domain knowledge about the business world and have become more disciplined in my approach. I have learnedhow to work within given deadlines and I am now ready to enter the corporate world.”

However, what he will take away are “lots of wonderful memories,” of his time at Jaipuria, Noida, including the learning environment, his many friends, the faculty members and all of the festivals,sports events and parties. “I participated in various extra-curricular activities,” he tells us, reflecting on all of the opportunities that the instituteafforded him. “I won a business quiz competitionorganised by the National Entrepreneurship Network. I was Senior Coordinator of the Sports Committee, I participated in Uddan, the Annual Management Festival, and I represented my college in various sports events and management games.”

Ashutosh Shukla’s words of advice to the current batch at Jaipuria, Noida are based on his experiences:“Be thoroughly prepared with your SIP topic. Read your CV before appearing for an interview and be enthusiastic and cheerful. Know your domain knowledge thoroughly and the sky will be your limit!”

Alumni Speak Jaipuria Jaipur

“Before joining Jaipuria, Jaipur I was not good at communication and lacked presentation skills. Today, I can proudly say that these are my areas of strength,” says Akshat Jhalani, Jaipuria, Jaipur (Class of 2015-17)

Having completed his school from St. Anslem’s North City School and his graduation from SS Jain Subodh PG College, Jaipur, Akshat Jhalani also interned with Naya Sawera, in the capacity of a programme coordinator for a period of six months. Jhalani had always wanted to do an MBA after his graduation so after long hours of research and information about Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur, from a friend, Jaipuria, Jaipur became his institute of choice.

“The best thing about Jaipuria, Jaipur is their 100 per cent placement record and its location in my home town,” he says adding that before he joined the Institute he was slightly nervous of interacting with people he did not know. “But,” as he says, “the induction programme of 15 days helped me a lot and provided me with a platform where I got to interact with a variety of people. During the induction I participated in many activities especially in the arena of drama, which actually helped me overcome my stage fright. I was selected as class representative as well and this brought out the leadership qualities in me.”

During the first three trimesters of his life at Jaipuria, Jaipur, this young man worked on ‘live’ projects at the lifestyle store of the Landmark Group. “This experience assisted me a great deal and taught me not only how to handle customers but also how to communicate with them,” he says adding, “before joining Jaipuria, Jaipur I was not good at communication and lacked presentation skills. Today, I can proudly say that these are my areas of strength.” Jhalani gives full credit to the faculty for their painstaking effort in helping students live up to their true potential. “The faculty at Jaipuria, Jaipur is the best,” he says. “They know how to help students who are unsure about their potential and they know how to facilitate students overcome their shortcomings.”

Says faculty member Dr Lokesh Vijayvargy, “Akshat is a very hardworking and bright student and he actively participates in various academic and extra-curricular activities. He has made an immense effort in writing the two research papers which he presented at IIT Madas and GD Goenka university. His enthusiasm is infectious. I feel proud that I play a supervisory role in his growth.”

Jhalani’s journey at Jaipuria, Jaipur saw him make a whole load of friends and take part in a host of extracurricular activities. “Life here is not only about academics. I coordinated many events like Abhyudaya which is our Annual Fest and at the national level Sports Meet I received a memento. I also coordinated the 3rd National Youth Conference,” he says. But the highlight of his time at Jaipuria, Jaipur was when he presented his paper at the 3rd International Conference on Management — GDGU ICON 2016 held at GD Goenka University, Gurgaon. “My topic was entitled, ‘The Investigation of Influencing Factors for Green Consumerism: a case of Rajasthan’ and my paper was selected for publication in the GD Goenka Business Review issue (Vol.2, No.1, Jan-Jun 2016). Only six out of 100 papers were selected for this journal and one of them was mine!” he says proudly.

Jhalani gives full credit to his parents whom he says “helped me a lot especially my father who helped me take the right decisions at every point of time when I was confused.” This spirited Cancer who is an active member of the Media Relations Club and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee at Jaipuria, Jaipur has learnt the art of being a team player. “During the E-Week, my team won first prize in the wall painting competition,” he says.

The young man, whose interests range from listening to soft music, travelling to new places across world and playing badminton and cricket, “which is the love of my life.” He also loves spending time with his friends. Says Arti Kanodia, “Akshat is very good friend of mine. He is a fun loving person. He is always eager to help everyone and anyone. In the past one year that I have known him he has improved a lot in all aspects like communication, presentation,  etc. He is also very hardworking and does his work with utter dedication.  He always motivates everyone around him.”  Adds Upasana Manglunia, “He is that special someone who, with a simple text, can make you laugh out loud in a room full of quiet people. “

Jhalani whose dissertation was on the ‘Study of the Housing Finance Market – A case of Rajasthan’, is doing his summer internship, working in the finance department at Shri Ram Housing Finance. This he says has been a huge learning experience for him. “In the past month I have learnt many things about the competition as well as the growth of business in the housing finance market. The internship has helped me increase my domain knowledge and given me a corporate experience which will definitely help in my placement,” he says.

Every day at Jaipuria brings new learning methodologies explains Jhalani — “Every day is a new day for me because I learn something new every moment – that is Jaipuria, Jaipur experience!”
