Gracing the occasion, Shri Rajnath Singh, said that he was quite delighted to address the young diploma recipients of the institute and urged the students to follow three rules in life always.

According to him real spiritualism lies in living a kind and large hearted life which has no place for I, me and myself. He also requested the students to think about why the Indian culture is accepted and recognized as the best culture in the whole world? He gave a very small example to explain this further by saying that if western students would be asked , Who is the greatest King on earth and Why?, they would take names of people who have earned a lot of wealth and land. But if Indians are asked the same question their answer will mention kings like Raja Ram or Raja Harishchandra who were great in deeds and character.

They have just started their innings in the game of business, and they are lucky to be able to meet veterans in the field. First-year students of Jaipuria Lucknow’s batch of 2012-14 are on cloud nine after their first industry interface, which concluded recently. The week-long interaction saw industry leaders sharing their experiences with the students, and telling them about the skills and talents that would help them in getting the job of their choice.
“It was like a dream come true. Everything makes a lot more sense when you hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. They are the ones running the show out there, and they really know how the cookie crumbles,” said Rohit Verma, a first-year PGDM student.
On the first day of the industry interface, Ankit Khandelwal, Ex Chairman, Bank of Baroda, talked about ‘Contemporary Developments in the Banking Industry.“Banking has undergone a sea change in the recent years. Now, there are more job opportunities, but at the same time, one is expected to come to the interview table equipped with more skills,” Ankit informed the students.
Seeing the students’ interest in Banking, one more day was earmarked for this sector. Students were apprised of major challenges faced by marketing executives of banks. This subject was handled by V. K. Srivastava, Deputy General Manager, Punjab National Bank. “Financial products should be adequately marketed, and cater to the needs of the consumers. Utmost importance should be given to marketing analysis when designing products for the consumers,” advised V. K. Srivastava. He informed the students that new marketing segments have evolved in public sector banks and this means numerous jobs are up for grabs for deserving candidates. He promised students of Jaipuria Lucknow that some of them would be absorbed by Punjab National Bank after the campus interviews.
Students at Jaipuria Lucknow learnt the art of entrepreneurship from Majush Garg, a very successful entrepreneur. “You must learn to lead, manage and innovate,” advised Majush to all the students planning to set up their own businesses.
P. N. Sharma, Deputy General Manger, Allahabad Bank, Staff College Lucknow, discussed the ‘Credit Functions of Banks, and Major Challenges Faced by Financial Analysts’.
Justice Bhanwar Singh highlighted the importance of discipline and etiquette in order to scale the ladder of success for a career in the corporate world.
Anshumal Dikshit, Head- HR, IGATE spoke on the topic of Student Responsibility towards Organisation and Self. “Initial days in any organisation are rather tough, but keep at it and soon you will be able to make a difference,” suggested Anshumal. “Factories and production units provide ample opportunities to learn basics of HR management. So it is a good idea to get exposure to these sectors in the early stages of one’s career,” he continued.
Akhilesh Sharma, State Head, Hero Moto Corp, advised students to be ready to tap the rural markets, where there is ample scope for growth.
The last industry leader to interact with the students was Sanjeev Jha, AVP, Magma Finance Corporation. Speaking on the subject of the Role of Non Banking Finance Companies’, he highlighted the need to interact regularly with customers to understand their needs. His rapt audience felt a collective sense of pride when Sanjeev announced that Jaipuria students who hav ejoined Magma Finance are very hard-working and proving to be a great asset to the company.  “Our experience with Jaipuria Lucknow has been very good, and we will definitely pick students this year too,” concluded Sanjeev.

Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida welcomed its 2012-14 batch of 240 Business Management students amidst a lot of learning and fun-filled activities. A two week-long Orientation Programme that began on the 27th of June, 2012 included industry interaction, familiarisation with the system and ice-breaking sessions.
The inaugural session was opened by Dr. Anoop Singh, Director Jaipuria Noida. Welcoming the students into the adult professional world, Dr. Singh spoke to them about their future as well-placed managers in the world of business.
The Chief Guest for the inaugural session was Professor Abad Ahmed, Chairman, Aga Khan Foundation. Professor Ahmed shared his own journey through the corporate world to inspire new students.
Asim Talukdar, Ex- Senior VP- Hr Global NIIT, addressed the students the next day. He picked up the most relevant issue for his audience – ‘Expectations of Industry from Young Managers’.  Shivesh Kumar Singh, Regional Head HR, ING Vyasya Bank and Kamal Gairola, Regional HR Manager, Mahindra Financial Services, discussed the current industry trends from a marketing perspective.
The other guests who interacted with the students during the orientation included Gyanendra Singh, Director Mancer Consulting, Hari Sharma, Head-Talent Acquisitions, Neuerth Group, Gautam  Pandey, Associate VP, Deloitte Consulting, Sonal Chadha, Process Trainer, Copal Partners, and R.K.

The students were also familiarised with attendance requirements, Moodle – their Learning Management System, examinations and the grading system.
During this Orientation, the batch was divided into groups of six students, who were required to work together on a variety of assigned tasks.  “It was a very different experience compared to all the sessions that had taken place till then. It made us feel more comfortable with our batch-mates,” feels Komal Behl, one of the newcomers.
During the last leg of the Orientation programme, the new students were introduced to the huge infrastructure of Jaipuria Noida.
Experiential learning was facilitated through activities like Extempore. “An on-camera extempore was organised. A year later we will have the video recording to compare our improvement,” explained Kirti, another fresher.
The high note of the entire process, however, was the ‘Talent Hunt’! By this time, the ice was well broken and a new batch smoothly moved into their 2-year course amid a lot of singing, dancing and drama. “We had a gala time!” concludes Tarun Suneja, another aspiring manager from the 2012-14 batch.

Students of Jaipuria Institute of Management, led by professor Aman Shrivastav, complete International Entrepreneurship Programme at JIBS, Sweden.

Professor Aman Shrivastav of Jaipuria Noida has just returned from a month-long tour of the Jonkoping International Business School. Professor Shrivastav was accompanied on his tour of JIBS by 3 students of Jaipuria Noida, who had gone across for the renowned one-month International Entrepreneurship Programme.
“Jonkoping  University is one of the three Swedish private universities that can award doctorates. It is recognised as one of the best Business Schools of Entrepreneurship in the whole of Europe. This entire trip was organised by Jaipuria Noida.”
Professor Aman Shrivastav, who was at JIBS to study the how this world-class institution conducts its education programmes, found that European class-room methods were very different from Indian class-room techniques.
“We are more oriented towards the American system. In Jaipuria Noida, we follow the Harvard-style method of case studies and discussions. In Jonkoping  University, the system is very much lecture-oriented. But their stress on Live Projects is immense. One particular industry visit that included the Jaipuria Noida students was to the production line of the world renowned retailers, ‘Ikea’ – which is shortly coming to India. Right from the unloading of the raw material from the trucks till the finished goods, everything is automated. Manpower is almost negligible.”
Automation of the entire administrative and security process even in Jonkoping University was something that impressed Professor Shrivastav.
“If your entry is approved, all you have to do is present yourself at the gate. Your access card, along with your photo, will be generated automatically. This card not only gives you access to your classrooms but to all the facilities in the University as per your role. You tap your card and enter the computer lab, and even to start the computer, you tap your access card. There are no security-men like you find here in India.”
Professor Aman Shrivastav and all the students of Jaipuria Noida on this summer programme were gratified to find that there was no hint of prejudice against Indians in the Swedes; in fact, most Swedes avoided the company of those who did have a prejudiced outlook. The small group from Jaipuria Noida came back deeply impressed by the Swedish ‘dignity of labour’ and regard for humans above all.
“Jönköpingisthe 10th largest city in Sweden. The public transport system is absolutely fantastic, but is hardly used, as people prefer travelling by private vehicles. Infact, on my first day, I was talking on my mobile while waiting to cross the road. I was surprised to see that despite the fact that I was standing on the pavement, cars had come to a halt on the road waiting for me to get across. One of the drivers actually indicated to me that unless I crossed the road, the cars would not move!”
Professor Shrivastav is positive that apart from the Diploma in International Entrepreneurship from the famed Jonkoping  University of Sweden, the Jaipuria Noida students who actually want to start their own businesses stand a chance of receiving support from Jonkoping  University.
“Atleast 50 new business ideas generated by their students are funded annually by the Jonkoping  University. It was also a great place to network as we came across faculty and students from across the globe, who will grow up to be future leaders.”
Professor Aman Shrivastav hopes that the students at Jaipuria Noida will inculcate the great Swedish fitness mantra as well.
“Just like the car, a bicycle is a necessary part of a Swede’s life. They are extremely fit, probably because they walk 2-3 hours a day.”
Professor Aman Shrivastav has already chalked out a plan to bring in the best of what he had seen at Jönköping University to the Jaipuria Institute of Management.
