Jaipuria Internship

"Your mentor sees you through your internship,” says Shubham Pandey, Jaipuria Lucknow

“Your mentor is the one who sees you through your internship,” says Shubham Pandey, Class of 2015, Jaipuria Lucknow, interning with Bajaj Electrical Ltd.

“Summer Internship Project is an opportunity that each student should grab and make the most of it while it lasts”, says Shubham Pandey of Jaipuria Institute of Management. He has been placed with Bajaj Electrical Ltd., for his summer internship project.

Shubham is a commerce student and belongs to the city of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. He completed his education in commerce and went on to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration from Lucknow University. It was a careful and conscious effort to build a career in management, which began with a degree from Lucknow University. Now, Shubam is at Jaipuria Institute of Management to fulfill his goal of higher studies in management. Jaipuria Institute of Management is India’s one of the Top MBA Colleges in Lucknow having campuses in Noida (Delhi-NCR), Jaipur, and Indore. Jaipuria Institute of Management is offering PGDM courses in Retail Management, Financial Services, Marketing, and Service Management. Since Shubham arrived at the B-school in 2013, he has been working hard to find his place within the corporate structure.

Bajaj Electricals Ltd. interviewed him on campus and he believes the selection has provided him with a great opportunity to learn with the best. And, he is excited about the project that he has been assigned to: “I have been assigned to do a market survey by Bajaj Electrical Ltd. I have to study the market for Bajaj LED lights, which is a new product from the Bajaj stable in the Lucknow region.”

He received a thoroughly professional reception at the organization. On day one, he was handed over to an industry mentor who oriented him to the company, its organizational structure, and its various functions. He was then briefed about his work during the entire internship period. The clarity helped Shubam focus himself on the coming work and time: “My first day at Bajaj was built around getting to know my organization and the work I was expected to carry out. The onboarding helped me find my way and also facilitated the learning process”.

Shubham has also been assigned a mentor from the college who will support him with his SIP. “My mentor has also been my faculty for marketing research and he always been helpful and supportive”, he says. “No one else could have been a better choice to guide me through my SIP.” In the first few days of his SIP, Shubam has woken up to the reality of the working world: “the first thing that I have learned is that the real corporate world is very different from the world we believe in. It’s the application of concepts that actually matters!”

According to Shubham, SIP can be an important stepping stone for students; for his opportunity, Shubham enthusiastically thanks Jaipuria Institute of Management for providing the platform. During the internship, he hopes to gather a working knowledge of the corporate world, so he can succeed in any opportunity that comes his way.

Vishnu says, “Jaipuria is equipping me with the competitive edge I need today”

Vishnu Bajania explains what influenced his decision to attend Jaipuria Institute of Management: “In today’s competitive world, technology is developing faster than ever and the demand for skilled and powerful managers is more than the B-schools are able to create. In such a scenario, I chose Jaipuria for my post graduation in management because I was sure it would equip me with the competitive edge I need to succeed today.” It looks like Vishnu made the right decision. He was selected by “bookmyshow” as an accreditation associate for his Summer Internship Project. The institute recognizes the modern pressures and rising competition and has been successfully placing students in diverse industries and roles, enabling them to be industry ready when they step out.

Vishnu has joined “bookmyshow” at a handsome stipend. His basic responsibility is to make accreditations cards for the vendors and staff members who will be there on the day of the IPL match. He shares, “It is a position that requires a lot of hard work. There are hundreds of vendors and staff members from different companies like Pepsi, ITC, IMG, Set max, DDCA etc.” The associates have other responsibilities, too; therefore, they need to have strong multitasking skills. They sort out queries, keep track of the forms, handle the data, attend workshops, and print cards.

The selection process was not easy, and Vishnu believes that Jaipuria gave him the right training that he needed in order to grab this opportunity. He has evolved as a professional in the past year, which has also helped: “I think that my sincerity during the time of interview, my communication skills, confidence and creativity in my resume enabled me to stand out in the interview. We have been trained to stay very organized at Jaipuria, right from day one.” Jaipuria puts a strong emphasis on the holistic development of its students. To ensure a sterling performance during the course and eventually a student’s lifetime, the institute has a robust mentoring process in place. Vishnu has been working with his mentor, Prof. Sonali Singh, Assistant Professor, Jaipuria who has helped him with communication skills, group discussion ability, interpersonal skills and interview skills. He is also helping him design and write his SIP report.

Accountability is one lesson Vishnu has learned in the first few days of his SIP. He believes this is his most important learning so far. And, of course, a happy and ambitious Vishnu is looking forward to his first stipend as well: “I believe in hard work and with this hard earned money, I first want to party!”

Shailendra says, “Jaipuria has enabled me to understand the gap between academics and industry.”

“The reality of working life is very different from the knowledge learned from books only”, exclaims Shailendra Mohan Dixit talking about his Summer Internship Project with Mott McDonald. He says the Summer Internship Programme (SIP) of Jaipuria Institute of Management has helped him understand this gap between academics and industry, and has also shown him the ways to bridge this gap.

Shailendra hails from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. He loves interacting with people and travelling, which is the reason that led him to an interest in Jaipuria for higher education and marketing as a career. He has joined Mott MacDonald as a Market Researcher and his job is to collect feedback from various areas of Mumbai. “I have to collect 400 responses and then analyse the feedback with the help of various analytical tools and give my recommendations and suggestions about the project”, he says.

The SIP interview was an experience in itself, Shailendra shares: “I believe I bagged this opportunity based on my past experience in marketing with Relcon Infra Ltd. and RED FM.” This SIP is exciting for Shailendra, more because he will be earning a stipend as well: “I am going to save this stipend ‒ after all it’s my first salary as a management major!” However, he understands that SIP is a serious assignment. He is glad for the mentoring that he is receiving from Prof. Pooja Singh Kushwaha, and he is leveraging this opportunity as best as he can. He wants to build his competencies in the marketing domain and increase his employability quotient. He is putting his best foot forward and working hard during this SIP. “I wish to understand what makes an aspirant employable”, he tells us. “And, I hope that I receive a pre-placement offer from Mott MacDonald”.

“My SIP gives me the opportunity to understand the dynamics of real corporate rigmaroles,” says Shubham, PGDM, Class 2015 of Jaipuria Institute of Management who is currently interning with Pearson

“I just want to learn as much as I can, in this limited period of two months”, says Shubham Barthwal, PGDM Class of 2015, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur, who recently bagged a Summer Internship Project in Marketing and Event Management with Pearson. He is going to be attached with the marketing division during his internship, and will work on Pearson’s brand perception in the market through events specifically targeting children and their parents. Shubham explains the responsibilities of his position: “The objective is to reach the customer where Pearson’s reach has been limited. We will be marketing through events, and the important thing is to manage the event within the purview of the budgets that are allocated to me and my team”. The team gets together in the morning and plans for the day. A lot of time is also spent travelling around the Pearson school campus to understand the target audience and their locality in order to identify the venue for the event. The arrangements are meticulously managed by the team, and events are executed to perfection in the evening.

Shubham has been assigned a mentor Dr. Abhijit Nair, Associate Professor, Jaipuria Institute of Management, to help him optimize this opportunity. He says that there are some differences between the classroom and the corporate world: “Customer perception, sales, marketing are broad concepts, which when we learn in the classroom create an impression that things always have to be done in a particular way; however, in the real world there is scope for alternative ways. One has to be inventive and innovative while remaining knowledgeable of the industry”. A good SIP is a great way to learn, relearn and experiment. “There is a gap between academia and industry so far as student competency is concerned. It is important that the student work closely with the mentor during SIP who helps the student bridge the gap and become relevant in the industry”, explains Dr. Nair.

For Shubham, this paid SIP brings an opportunity to learn outside the classroom. He wants to learn how to adopt effective business practices, and to adapt to different work environments. This SIP has certainly opened the doors to professional world for him: “I feel confident today and want to share this happiness with my family. I am going to buy gifts for my family with my first pay and hopefully all our dreams will come true”.

“This is my chance to practice all I have learned”, shares Geeta Bhardwaj, PGDM’15, Jaipuria Institute of Management, currently interning with Hitachi

Geeta Bhradwaj, PGDM, Class of 2015 of Jaipuria Institute of Management is supremely elated these days. Of course she has her reasons! Having been picked by one of the Japanese multinational engineering and electronics conglomerates for her summer internship programme, Geeta has more reasons than one to be this exhilarated. She is looking forward to her first stipend from her internship assignment as a trainee with Hitachi. Her excitement is understandable – she prepared very hard for the interview process and gave her all during each stage: “I was sure my first question would be about sales and I was prepared. I think my focus and passion convinced the interviewer of my skills and abilities.”

Originally, Geeta spent time in Delhi where she completed her BBA. She always aspired to pursue a career in management and joined the MBA course soon after her graduation. Geeta feels that Jaipuria has trained and equipped her with the skills that helped her bag the internship. Now, she wants to make the best of this opportunity: “I eventually want to build my career in the retail sector. This internship is offering me the chance to learn the skills that are required in that field. My job here is to connect with the walk-in customer in the Hitachi retail outlet, educate them about our products and eventually convert that into a sale. Hitachi is just the place for me to learn all I need”.

Geeta is a person who carefully plans her priorities and values all the help and education she can get. She is following the college mentoring initiative as directed, and firmly believes in its benefits: “Associate Professor, Dr. Susobhan Goswami is my mentor and he has helped me make important decisions. He is a master of marketing and business strategy and we meet once a week. During these meetings, I have learned more about myself, and I have also received tips to deal with my weaknesses. Recently, I also sought his help to choose my course electives. He has helped me work on my presentation skills and my subject knowledge. In the future, I want his opinion and guidance for final placement and career plans. He has been a true mentor to me.”

The hands-on experience of SIP enables students to learn the skills that can help them fit into the working world without hiccups. Geeta wishes to add on some key skills that include networking, since she believes it will add to her art of selling. The other things on the top of her mind are: subject knowledge in her area of interest, customer mapping, organizational work culture, and concepts of marketing, which she has studied but will now get a chance to practice. Geeta is not leaving any stone unturned to enhance her knowledge base during her SIP, and she is convinced that she can and will definitely leverage this opportunity.

Jaipuria Indore Placement Update

With the placement season in the last stretch, around 92% of students from Jaipuria Institute of Management get placed successfully

There is still time for the formal closing of the placement season for B-Schools, and Jaipuria Institute of Management has already managed 92% placement across its four campuses. It’s a remarkable achievement simply given the size of the batch: 680 students in its four campuses, of which 626 have already been placed. And, the fact that the placement season has drawn some of the biggest names in the corporate world and resulted in handsome packages for its students is the icing on the cake.

Jaipuria Institute of Management had a solid placement record last year and the bar was already set high. This year, the institute is well on its way to achieving another major feat, and 100% placement by the end of the season might well be in the cards. The possibility of 100% placement was acknowledged by Mr. Amit Attry, VP – Marketing and Corporate Relations, who was present at the press conference organized by Jaipuria, Indore to talk about its placement record.

Jaipuria Institute of Management follows an Uncampus placement process, which ensures centralised recruitment for students across all its campuses. This unique strategy seems to have its rewards ‒ with the help of its strong network of recruiters and alumni, the institute has managed to fetch the phenomenal success. According to Mr. Attry, “To date, more than 230 companies have already visited Jaipuria for recruiting graduates and dozens of them are in pipeline.”

Some of the big names in this year’s placement process are: Deloitte Consulting, Ernst & Young, Grail Research, S&P Capital IQ, KPMG, Nestle, Colgate Palmolive, ITC Ltd, Asian Paints, Berger Paints India Limited, Zomato, Rockstand Digital, HT Media, Axis Bank, Deutsche Bank, IndusInd Bank, Citi Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Vodafone, LG, Sony India, Genpact, Tech-Mahindra, Apollo Tyres, JK Tyres, Madura Garments, Hindware, Landmark Group, Orient Electricals and CROMA Retail (TATA Group Company).

Clearly, this shows that a good mix of companies from different fields, including Finance, Retail, FMCG, Consulting and IT, have looked to Jaipuria Institute of Management for a new batch of educated employees. That has offered more options to students, most of whom have managed to bag placements in the field of their choice. Mr. Attry is clearly pleased with the progress thus far: “We are not only happy with the number of recruiters we have got, but their versatile nature as well. It’s something we’ve strived for and the results are showing.”

While many of the students have been placed in Human Resources and Research fields, Marketing and Sales still rules the roost and has been a popular profile offered for students from the institute. Marketing and Sales profiles included some of the highest placement packages. Two students from Noida campus and one each from Jaipur and Indore were recruited by a Digital Media Company for a handsome package of Rs. 8.9 lakhs p.a. The average package for the placement season this year stands at Rs. 4.7 lakhs p.a, even amidst the turbulent economic scenario.

Some of the other important highlights of the placement season this year include the fact that around 15% of students placed had more than one offer in their hands.

While several big name Indian and International companies recruited candidates during the placement season this year, there were a few local companies that managed to get the attention of students as well. For Rashi Singh from Jaipur, the option of working with Jaipur Rugs – a carpet manufacturing company that aims towards creating socio-economic development opportunities for all, was the perfect option. “Besides working for a good cause I will be operating in the area that I am familiar with,” Rashi says.” It will definitely help me in my future endeavours with the company.”

The placement season this year has given students a lot to cheer about, including those who have already been placed and others who might very well be in the near future. Jaipuria, Noida and Jaipuria, Indore seem to be ahead in the race with the number of students to be placed reaching single digits. And, with the kind of companies that are expected to continue to join the recruitment process, things are looking promising for students and the overall placement record of the institute.

Jaipuria Institute of Management has been a leading light in the field of management education in the country since the inception of its Lucknow campus in 1995. Over the years and across campuses in Lucknow, Noida, Jaipur and Indore, the institute has been striving for excellence in education while focussing on an impeccable placement program for its students. And, with the results that are being seen this placement season, all the hard work is paying off for all involved.
