STUDENT Speaks

“The first stipend of life is always the big deal,” says an excited Ajay, Class of 2015, Jaipuria Institute of Management, currently interning with Marg Compusoft Pvt. Ltd.

Summer Internship Placements (SIPs) are the highlight for management programs because of the real corporate world experience they offer to students. And who better to know that than Ajay Kumar of Jaipuria Institute of Management, who got placed with Marg Compusoft Pvt. Ltd. Interning with a reputable firm in itself is a big deal for Ajay, who grew up in Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand. He believes that his SIP has opened up a world of new experiences. Ajay is working with the company as a summer trainee on a Reseller and Referral partner development project. “Besides that”, he says, “I am also conducting research to determine customers’ opinions on Marg’s product and services. I am also assisting the seniors in designing and executing various marketing campaigns”. As you can see, Ajay feels that his time with Marg Compusoft Pvt. Ltd. is going to become an absolutely fantastic learning experience.

His regular day at work is not only long but filled with challenges, a prospect Ajay thrives on because it offers him an opportunity to grow. “My day begins at 10 am when I report to the head office of the company”, he elaborates. “Then I meet with 10 prospects for a reseller offer. I also have to assist my seniors develop a marketing campaign. Finally, I prepare and mail the daily working reports to the team leader”.

The going might have its ups and downs but Ajay is proud of what he has managed to achieve so far. And he has every reason to be, considering he bagged the internship placement after a rigorous screening process. He had to go through a round of Group Discussions before a personal interview where he displayed his passion for the profile offered to him. According to Ajay, it was this passion that helped him stand out amongst other aspiring candidates.

Ajay is being guided during his internship program by mentor, Mr. Anurag Singh, whose contribution, according to Ajay, is vital. And now, he is keen on making the most of this opportunity: “SIP is the first opportunity for me to apply my classroom learning in the real world. I want to gain valuable work experience and industrial exposure”.

And, other than the handsome stipend he’s earning, does Ajay have any important take-aways from the internship so far? “Hard work never goes unnoticed. If your employer knows you want to be the best at whatever you do, it will help you make an impression more than any resume,” he says wisely before coming back with the parting shot: “And the stipend money will be spent on getting my first fancy Smartphone.” This young man clearly has what it takes to succeed.

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!”

Pratigya Sharma of Class 2015, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida discusses her gains from SIP at IBM as she chalks out a future game plan

“Being selected by IBM for my internship is quite special for me because it’s a huge company and this is the first big opportunity in my life,” says Pratigya Sharma, student of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida. Summer Internship Placements are a big deal for students because it’s their first taste of what life is going to be like as a professional. SIP helps prepare them for the transition from classroom desk to work desk. And, Pratigya believes that she has struck gold given the worldwide reputation of IBM.

Pratigya cherishes the opportunity to intern with IBM because she had to go through a serious screening process to earn her placement. After the initial CV screening, students had to go through an HR interview in person before a telephonic interview with the HR department in IBM’s Gurgaon office was conducted. Pratigya believes it was her confidence, work ethic and knowledge that she gained at her institute that propelled her through the process.

Her profile with the company is that of an HR intern. This is a profile that Pratigya is quite happy with because she gets to learn the practical aspects of her education. Talking about her experience with IBM as an intern so far, she says, “It’s been quite satisfying and I want to learn all about HR practices followed by big organizations. I get a chance to explore the challenges HR professionals face in the real world and I hope to learn how to deal with them during my time here.”

Talking of a typical day during her internship, Pratigya says, “It starts with a lot of enthusiasm because I am keen on learning something new every day, especially since I am lucky enough to be a part of a dynamic working environment.” She admits that there are rough days, but she is glad to have support from her mentor Dr. Shikha Bhatia. Calling Dr. Bhatia the “best mentor ever”, Pratigya says that she feels encouraged by his pep talks every time she lacks motivation.

Now, Pratigya looks forward to new challenges so that she can display her talent to the fullest. After all, she is not looking at her internship as just two months with the company. “I want to be a part of IBM in the future ‒ it’s one of my dream companies to work for,” she says. “I want to gain from my experience here and show my potential, which I know I can.” It’s not surprising that Pratigya’s key learning from her SIP in her own words is, “If you are determined, you can achieve anything.”
