Ritu Sabnani had been placed with UCO Bank as Officer, Second Grade through the Placement Cell at Jaipuria Noida. She is currently a member of the middle management and is serving her one year probation period at UCO Bank, after which she will be sanctioned a permanent department.
Ritu, who hails from Jaipur, Rajasthan, took admission into the 2010-12 PGDM program at Jaipuria Noida and was awarded a scholarship of Rs. 50,000/- at that time. Passion about finance, she was excited about all the possibilities the school offered her and was able to immediately settle into the life of a B-School.
When asked her about her experience at Jaipuria, she says, “The faculty at Jaipuria was very good and helpful, especially Professor Aman Shrivastav and Professor Anurag Singh, who encouraged growth of knowledge and helped me through the 2 years that I was there.”
Ritu is extremely thankful to her college for playing an integral role in helping her find her first job. She is excited about the growth that lies ahead of her and believes that it is the faculty and the philosophy of the university that allowed her to acquire a job she otherwise would not have been able to. The support and advice that she received from the faculty members was invaluable throughout her placement experience.
She moves on to talking about the Mentor-Mentee Program and the Industrial Mentor Program offered at Jaipuria, Noida, “Through regular sessions and seminars, our Placement Head shared reviews of various companies. He guided us on the basic interview process that each company followed, and the type of questions that we would be asked during the interviews. Further, the mentors also helped us with our problems, as and when we faced them in college.” She further elaborates, “Sometimes students didn’t match the company’s requirement of communication skills, or the companies didn’t like the aptitude levels. So our college started conducting aptitude tests for our benefit. They conducted tests for 3 months for our practice, and in the second year, there was a faculty member, Ms. Bhandari, who was appointed especially for us to help us with our interview skills. She also worked towards improving the communication levels of the students. The permanent faculty has also given us support and would advice us on what we need to answer, and how we should express our views.”
Ritu’s only advice to her juniors is to leverage the intellect and experience of the Jaipuria faculty to learn, grow and succeed in life.

Shikha Gupta is a graduate of Jaipuria Noida, and had been placed, on-campus, in an enterprise communication company called ‘Value First’. ‘Value First’ is a comprehensive digital solutions provider that is internationally renowned for its mobile, SMS and Internet marketing services. After her PGDM from Jaipuria Noida, Shikha was given charge of the sales & support department and is currently handling the ‘Fab India’ project by providing them all the back-end support that they require.
When asked about her time with Jaipuria Noida, she tells us, “I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Jaipuria. Never did I regret my decision of pursuing my PGDM here. The faculty is very supportive; whenever we needed them, they were always there for us, without fail. Be it for a silly issue or for curriculum guidance, they were always there.”
Belonging to a relatively small batch of management students at Jaipuria, Shikha especially remembers how compatible she was with her peers and how her experience not only included academic learnings, but a number of other co-curricular activities such as cultural events and industrial visits.
We asked how her experience at Jaipuria changed her, and she goes on to tell us “Prior to Jaipuria, life for me was all about having fun and nothing else. But when I entered Jaipuria I came to realize what the professional world was actually about. There are always people who play politics and try to use their power, so I actually had a gist of how things are in the corporate world. We learnt how to manage time, how to understand concepts, and how to grasp things quickly. In the two years that I spent here, I learnt how to present myself and how to take charge of a presentation. Initially we used to hesitate in front of a gathering of 40 people, but now we have gained immense confidence to present anything to any number of people.”
During her term at Jaipuria, Shikha also had the opportunity to intern with Fundoodata.com where she handled a social media marketing profile. She thoroughly values this experience as an opportunity to learn, and believes that it played an integral role in her management education and development of skills.
Shikha’s message to her juniors is to make the most of their time at Jaipuria, have fun and to always be themselves!
