Jaipuria Indore: learning the 'Paperless' way.

Almost all B-schools have spoken about achieving it. Some have even taken a few steps to inculcate it. But if there is one B-school that has successfully implementedthe dream 21st Century knowledge-society campus – a completely green and an uncompromisingly ‘paperless’ B-school – it is Jaipuria Institute of Management Indore.
The leadership at Jaipuria Indore realised that going ‘paperless’ is less about technology, and more in the minds of its stakeholders. There was no point having the best software in the world if it was never going to be used.  The Jaipuria Indore management raised the stakes and from day one Jaipuria Indore was a fully digital entity. Everything is controlled by Academia – a campus management system integrated with emails and Smart Phones, capable of sending messages via SMS, email and social networking sites. Academia integrates all academic and administrative modules – right from Admissions, to Hostel Management, HR and Payroll, Inventory, Stores and Transport Management. The Time Table, Attendance and Student Information System, all processes are integrated and automated. Course content, media files, class notes, pre-reads, assignments, articles, case studies, reviews and analyses- everything is available on e-reader format, 24/7, across the globe. The faculty members at Jaipuria Indore uploaded – books, case studies, and other resources for research and scholarly articles. Everything is categorized and ready for use.
“Changes! Changes! Changes!” emotes Aditi Sharma. “It is a completely new experience. Everything carefully cultivated over the last 20 years has had to be discarded. This stone will keep rolling for the next two years at Jaipuria Indore but will definitely accumulate enough moss that it will achieve a prominent place in professional and personal life.”
One big change from the ‘normal’ is the Digital classroom at Jaipuria Indore. Students might be on traineeship and faculty members out on consulting assignments; and yet, the show never stops! Classes are conducted and the grades awarded go automatically to the students’ account, the PGP office, and the Admin office for further action.
“This curriculum will help us emerge as leaders who can create new ideas and new markets, as well as constantly design new systems, by using digital-based strategies, processes and operations in all functional areas,” exults Prasad Shejwalkar of the 2011-13 batch of Jaipuria Indore.
No aspect of B-schooling is unaffected by digitisation at Jaipuria Indore; even the administration has had to rechristen itself a ‘digitaladministration.’ At Jaipuria Indore, CCTV cameras lurk at key locations to ensure that the entire campus is visible to those in charge, monitored online and synced with SmartPhones and email. While the Wi-Fi campus is a given, electronic sensors, working on the principle of influence, are the real deal when it comes to avoiding wastage of electricity.
“This is the creation of a completely new ecosystem,” says Rajani Kispotta, a final year PGDM student at Jaipuria Indore, specialising in Marketing. “The most amazing part is that even our examinations in the first and the second semesters were online. For papers like Marketing, MIS and HR, the questions were sent to us through the mail, or through the Academia software, or simply written down on a board. We submitted our answers in a word file.”
Students of Jaipuria Indoreare required to collect their own study material, picking out details and descriptions from the web.Rajani Kispotta says that most of her batch-mates are, in fact, so used to the ‘Google it’ culture now, that when, for the first time they saw a course book in the third semester, they felt they were being caged. They felt as if there were no options available, no variable applications and no endless ideas or views on a subject.
“With books, a student’s mentality is to restrict himself to the instructions of the teacher, or the book itself. But when the material is online, students get into the habit of researching. When we do not understand a word or a line, we search for its significance. An online search inevitably throws up multiple variants and applications, thus adding to our knowledge-base. Thanks to the visionaries of Jaipuria Indore, ‘Google it!’ is the buzzword for us now.”
Social media is a compulsory part of the curriculum at Jaipuria Indore, withstudents constantly exploring it – not merely in their leisure time, but with the purpose of studying it.  While Facebook is used for personal branding,viral marketing,peer connect, competitions, opinion, podcasts, and conducting and attending virtual seminars; LinkedIn is studied for itsindustry connect,  feedback, mentorship, curriculum validation, peek behind the curtain of corporates and for gathering real life case studies. Twitter, of course, is of extreme importance in keeping tabs on the social movements gathering momentum in the digital space.
“Videos and clips of released movies and ads are studied in great detail to explore the marketing strategy and methods. Everysingle feature introduced by Mark Zuckerberg is discussed threadbare. A major change like the ‘timeline’ structure recently introduced, leads to a brainstorming session in our Marketing classes at Jaipuria Indore.”

Jaipuria Noida STUDENT Speaks

Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida nurtures the student entrepreneur dream club – Illuminati

Jaipuria Noida knows that there is more to the educational experience than merely attending class. As a result of this, students at Jaipuria Noida have many chances to connect with fellow, like-minded students through a myriad of student groups. One such group, the Illuminati, is made up of students who developed a lucrative business idea that is not only promising, but also a successful venture.

The Illuminati’s purpose is to experience the world of business management, to create a platform for their fellow students and to promote Jaipuria Noida as the Brand Ambassador among students, giving them pride in their institution. With this in mind, the Illuminati began production of collared T-shirts that bore the college logo. Selling the T-shirts to students and faculty, their idea was for students to wear the T-shirt as a means of promoting the product and the institute.

As the idea has taken off, they have a long-term goal of implementing their plan with other Jaipuria branches based in Lucknow, Jaipur and Indore. Additionally, they also plan to start business collaborations with corporations and conglomerates in the near future. The ultimate goal of the Illuminati is to bring back lost Indian culture into the modern world with the help of rural artisans. In this way, they can create a symbiotic relationship between urban and rural economic growth.

The young group is well on its way towards success, paving the way for themselves and their fellow students.

FACULTY Speaks Jaipuria Jaipur

“My experience in Jaipuria Jaipur is that, if you are enthused enough you will be rewarded with captivated attention in class.”

What does it take to turn a dream into a reality?
Patience – in building it brick-by-brick?
Perseverance – to not give up even in the most trying times?
Or plain simple luck – that sits unswervingly on the shoulders of the chosen few?
“Passion,” answers Professor Swati Soni, without blinking.
Exactly 6 years ago, in June 2006, the Jaipur campus of Jaipuria Institute of Management came into existence. But ‘existing’ and ‘living’ are two different things. Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipur needed to grow into a campus throbbing with life… with knowledge coursing through its veins. The onus of making this happen lay squarely on the shoulders of a chosen few. Professor Soni happened to be one of them.
“We were just 2-3 faculty members back then at Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipur. But we were well aware of our responsibilities. There were students to be groomed; managers of the future to be prepared at Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipur. We would reach home dead tired after the day’s work, but with the morning sun, rose with even greater enthusiasm than before.”
It is this passion for her work… passion for what JaipuriaInstitute of Management Jaipur stands for – and delivers year after year – that transforms Professor Swati Soni’s classes intoa ‘cannot-miss’ experience.
“Teaching to me is more of art than science; and the emancipation of any art lies in passion. Case-studies, role plays, PPT’s, discussions, lectures… I leave no pedagogical tool unexplored in my classes. My experience in Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipur is that if you are enthused enough, you will be rewarded with captivated attention in your class. I constantly monitor the feedback… look for signs of even the slightest bit of doubt in my class. I try to infuse new levels of creativity, inspiration and inquisitiveness in the teaching-learning process. Subjects like Marketing Management, Marketing of Services and Brand Management are actually limitless; it is we who create the boundaries and set the rules.”
It is this drive that helps Professor Soni don many hats, including the central role of the Programme Chairperson of Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipur. Everything from scheduling, liaising with visiting faculty, communicating with students and their parents, and managing student affairs – right from Induction till the Convocation- come under her purview.
“The Programme Chairperson’s job can only be done if you really love it. That is the only way you can be responsive to all stakeholders. It is great being a part of the Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipurfraternity, and I enjoy knowing every new person who joins itpersonally.”
The sense of pride and satisfaction that springs from her career reflects in her work-life balance.
“I owe my achievements as much to my wonderfully responsive daughter, as I do to my Director and Management, and the excellent rapport with colleagues that helps me collaborate and seek help when needed. I love to cook, meet people and help kids in my neighbourhood with the specific problems relating to their studies, especially their project work at school. My evenings are engaged with kids, including my daughter.”
She advises the incoming batches of Jaipuria Institute of Management Jaipur to befriend books.
“Read more, observe more and be sensitive to the people around you. Integrity coupled with right attitude will help you sail through happily!”
