“Curriculum And Mode Of Delivery At Jaipuria Lucknow Rests On The Four Pillars Of Knowledge, Application, Discipline And Learning habit.” – says, Professor Dheeraj Misra, Dean, Jaipuria Lucknow.

“At Jaipuria Lucknow we strongly believe that teachers become great if they are able to put complicated theory into simple layman’s language, so that every student can understand and learn. Degrees and diplomas mean nothing if you are unable to translate knowledge into easy-to-understand-and-assimilate information.”
These are wise words from Professor Dheeraj Misra, who knows this first hand; after all, as the Dean of Jaipuria Lucknow; he leads the largest PhD faculty anywhere in the country. Professor Misra’s views on teaching methods and techniques have been developed over a career spanning 20 years.
An academician ‘by design and not by default’, Professor Misra developed a keen interest in teaching while he was still a graduate student of Economics. Once he was awarded a First Class in his graduation, the doorways to being an academician opened automatically for him, one after the other.
“In general terms, most teachers go for their Doctorate after having accumulated quite a lengthy teaching experience. For me it was the other way round. Since I had decided to be a teacher very early in my life, I completed my PhD in Economics from IIT Kanpur before joining the world of academia.”
Professor Misra points out that the curriculum and mode of delivery at Jaipuria Lucknow rests on the four pillars of knowledge, application, discipline and learning habit. By the end of their two years in Jaipuria Lucknow, every student should be able to answer these all-important questions: What is your objective? What are the best methods to achieve them? And where is the chance of failure the least?
“To achieve this, students of Jaipuria Lucknow are given an in-depth understanding of the nature of industry and its issues. They are then expected to chalk out the business strategy and see how the strategy can best be applied. The nature of each problem is different. One should first understand the issues and only then can one apply the concepts.”
Professor Misra elaborates that the faculty at Jaipuria Lucknow is especially skilled at gauging the abilities of a student, and guide him or her accordingly.
“You cannot fit a square peg in a round hole. If a student is unable to grasp the technicalities of statistics and is not good with numbers, there is not much point for the student to get into Finance.”
It is with this objective that Jaipuria Lucknow conducts a survey every trimester, wherein a student is required to assess his overall progress on managerial qualities, and the level of self-development achieved in the duration.
“Our aim is that students at Jaipuria Lucknow enjoy themselves while learning, and develop these characteristics along the way.”
At the beginning of every course Professor Misra gives a course outline to ensure that each subject has a different curriculum and that overlapping subjects/ topics are not repeated. At the end of each month the progress of the curriculum is monitored and, if required, modified for the benefit of the students of Jaipuria Lucknow. Clearly, Professor Misra is one of those rare deans who believes that a student’s time is as important as a lecturer’s or Director’s. This is what has earned him immense respect across the board in Jaipuria Lucknow.

Defni Prasad from Jaipuria Lucknow – "One day I’m a volunteer at an IIC Conference"

Post author By admin
Post date July 10, 2012

Defni Prasad – “One day I’m a volunteer at an IIC Conference, & the next day I’m teaching underprivilleged kids; It can be so uniquely across-the-spectrum.”

For most of us, ‘Leadership’ is a long trudge through life, a code that needs to be cracked… the final destination that is achieved in pursuit of excellence. For most of us, ‘Leadership’ is equated by the greyness in our hair, and is often confused with experience. Not for Defni Prasad. Defni is one of those gifted few, who are recognized straightaway as born leaders. They ascend to prominence without breaking a sweat, on the basis of their natural charm, a flair for communication, and the ability to work smart.
“Deciding to commit to an MBA course meant choosing a career in management. But once that was done, Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow was my first choice. It was in fact, the first management institute where I had given an interview and luckily, I cracked it! I had heard a lot about Jaipuria Lucknow. But my brother’s friend, an alumnus of Jaipuria Lucknow, opined that Jaipuria Lucknow would be just the place for me as it laid stress on good grooming and gave its students ample opportunities to showcase their talent.”
Defni is the class representative of her batch at Jaipuria Lucknow. While this would be considered an accomplishment by the parents of most of the students in Jaipuria Lucknow, people who know Defni Prasad think it is quite natural for her. For this girl from Jhansi, academics and extra-curricular activities have always walked hand-in-hand. Right from her school days, Defni had excelled in competitions ranging from one-act plays and singing to debates, elocutions and seminars. Not only was Dephni the College Captain, but shehad graduated with the second highest grade in her college – over 70%.
“Organising events in school or college was small-scale work; doing the same in Jaipuria Lucknow is a different ball-game altogether. It brought out from within me the best management skills – those that I never knew I possessed. Most of the events in Jaipuria Lucknow are student-driven, right down to bringing in the sponsorship. The thrill of ‘fixing a deal’, the taste of the real business world, the tactics and strategy required to ensure a ‘buy-in’, all happens because Jaipuria Lucknow trusts its students and its pedagogical philosophy.”
Apart from being a part of the sponsorship team, faculty members have elected her to the student affairs committee, which manages all the events within the Jaipuria Lucknow campus. Having tasted action, Defni now wants more of it! She is targeting a Marketing profile with a major corporate house, and after 5 years of having learnt the ropes, she intends starting her own venture.
“One day I’m a volunteer, helping organize Jaipuria Lucknow’s flagship event – the Independence, Integration and Co-creation (IIC) conference, and the very next day I’m with the Udaan team, teaching underprivileged children. That is the beauty of Jaipuria Lucknow; it can be so uniquely across-the-spectrum.”

Jaipuria Lucknow Jaipuria Lucknow Placement Update STUDENT Speaks

The faculty at Jaipuria Lucknow is absolutely amazing! We could call our teacher sup at 2 am with a query, and they would answer.

Between 2010 and 2012, there was not a single function or event in Jaipuria Lucknow that was not conducted in the silvery voice and clipped English accent of Deepti Sadhwani. Come hail or storm, almost every evening between 5 and 8 pm would find Deepti hanging out with her batch mates at Jaipuria Lucknow – preparing for events, meeting for group studies or simply catching up!
“We had a real blast at Jaipuria Lucknow! Nothing comes even remotely close to the sense of belonging that we felt for Jaipuria Lucknow. As a part of the placement committee, five of us had co-ordinated the interviews for our seniors. Even with our batch, those of us who got placed early on were anxious about the others, and would be helping them with their interview preps.”
In fact, Deepti was among the first to be placed in her course; and what a placement it was! The global corporate powerhouse from Japan, the Nomura Goup that acquired Lehmann Brothers in Asia and Europe, in the aftermath of the global meltdown in 2008 took on this young girl.Deepti joined Nomura in April 2012, and has been assigned the unique Risk Manager’s profile with the Operations Division Risk Governance (ODRG).
“No other management trainee has been assigned to this division.I feel that in two years’ time, this experience would have shaped me for the next level.”
Deepti speaks very highly of the famed Japanese work ethic in Nomura; all new joinees go through a six-week training programme revolving around ‘why you are doing what you are doing’ and ‘how each one’s work impacts the others’.
“While HR policies are very strictly followed, the company goes out of its way to ensure that the employee is at ease. I had fallen ill sometime back and they took me to the hospital and ensured everything was ok till I was discharged. I was really touched!”
Before joining Jaipuria Lucknow, Deepti was with HPCL. While she had applied to all good B-schools, what swung the decision in favour of Jaipuria Lucknow was its famed finance department and also because Lucknow is her home-town. Her summer internship with Standard Chartered Bank, doing a comparison for the different financial products of Standard Chartered and how they stood vis-à-vis the offering of other MNC banks, was the right preparation for her ultimate role in Nomura.
“The faculty at Jaipuria Lucknow is absolutely amazing! We could call our teachers up at 2 am with a query, and they would answer.”

From a class in HR to Head-HR… a winning career

Post author By admin
Post date June 21, 2012

Without actually meaning to, Anshumal Dikshit has made it his business to challenge the norms of the times he lives in. A die-hard lakhnavi, instead of heading out for a top-notch B-school outside, Anshumal stuck around in Lucknow, choosing to be a part of the first batch of an unheard of Management Institute. 17 years down the line, that B-school – Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow – has grown to become one of the best B-schools in North India, and Anshumal Dikshit, Head of Human Resources, iGate Patni, is one of the shakers-and-movers of the Indian IT Industry.
After having majored in Psychology from St Francis College, and then earning his Masters in Public Administration from Lucknow University, Anshumal, chose to specialise in HR from Jaipuria, Lucknow.
“In those days, HR was seen in isolation from the main line of business. It was looked upon as a soft area as opposed to Finance, Operations or Marketing. Infact, I was the only male in HR stream, of my batch in Jaipuria Lucknow. With time though, the demands in an organisation from its HR department has grown manifold, and today, HR is perceived as a business partner, and is pretty much gender agnostic.”
Today, brand-Jaipuria, Lucknow pulls the biggest of recruiters; but back in 1996, you could not be sure. So it was quite a surprise when Anshuman actually ended up with three offers, through the campus placement of Jaipuria Lucknow. Yet again, he opted for the path less trodden.
“Of the three offers, Sona Koyo – which was not as big then – was not my top-priority. But after a detailed discussion with faculty members of Jaipuria, Lucknow I chose the Assistant Manager’s profile offered to me by Sona Koyo. The logic was that, a compact organisation on the growth path would be a better option as compared to a larger organisation where you are more likely to get lost.”
It is generally perceived that as a HR practitioner, you’ll do well to catch hold of a fast growing industry, start building on your contacts, and every couple of years keep hopping jobs – with hikes in salary and designation – within your chosen industry.
Not for Anshumal though.
“Out of choice, I have worked across various industries. I started out with Manufacturing; managing labour work-force and getting an idea of industrial relations. Learning about personnel and HR in a factory environment gives you a distinct edge. It is a practical experience, which cannot be learnt later on, as your career progresses. Over the years I managed HR in banking, with the Citigroup;in hospitality as AVP, HR with the Oberoi group; and in the Media, with Business Standard. Media particularly was a very difficult job; managing journalists especially. But the learning was immense. The aim was of managing people across different industries, with organisations that are in the growth phase. As AVP, Corporate Learning and Development at the Oberoi Group. I was able to implement some good organisational initiatives for the group, before I really ventured out into IT county.”
Over the years, Anshumal has been a great asset in building brand-Jaipuria Lucknow.
“Thanks to the regular alumni meets, facebook and linkedIn, a lot of us are in constant touch. While it’s always nice to go back to Jaipuria, Lucknow, I do miss the small tea-stall which was there within the institute during our times. It has now been converted into a bigger and better canteen.”

Post author By admin
Post date May 25, 2012

Summary: Siddharth Tripathi, PGDM student at Jaipuria Noida, is doing his summer internship with UCO Bank, Lucknow branch. He is finding himself exploring his hidden potential and learning to move things through patience and cajoling. He is learning new lessons in the art of self discipline.
When the clock strikes 10 O’clock in the morning, Siddharth Tripathi, dressed in formals is already sitting on his chair at UCO Bank, IT College, Lucknow branch. His job is to scan through the details of the loans provided by the branch to its clients. Later, during his internship he will carry out comparative study of the loans provided by two private and public banks in housing loan category, and then compare it with UCO Bank performance in housing loan segment. Finally, he will give his report on non performing assets (NPA) of the branch and help the bank assess how it has fared in recovering the loans in comparison to other banks.
Siddharth is very excited working on this Summer Internship Project of Jaipuria Noida. Initially, although the staff members of the bank were busy with the audit work, he still managed to get their full cooperation through his soft skills and good behaviour. “I kept talking to them about my project and shared with them the benefits of such a comparative study for the branch. Finally, my persistence paid, and now everyone goes out of the way to provide me the details I require for my research and comparative study,” says Siddharth with a newly found confidence in his voice. “Now I have learnt that slow and steady wins the race and of course a good work environment helps,” adds Siddharth with a smile on his face.
Reaching office in the morning and scanning through the loads of data till evening was really tough for Siddharth in the beginning. “For a couple of days I got late by half an hour, but then I decided not to let this happen. Fortunately, everything fell in line and I am sure I will have many interesting things to write in my SIP,” Says Siddharth. His industrial mentor Ms. Swati Srivastava, was a student of Jaipuria Lucknow branch is now Assistant Manager of UCO Bank, who has guided Siddharth in his project work. The highlight of his internship has been the visit to the currency chest (which is forbidden to outsiders), and being at the cash counter-learning the in’s and out’s of managing cash flow and operating Finacle (a universal banking product, developed by Infosys, to help with CRM and wealth management requirement of banks and other organizations).
He will be specializing in marketing and finance, and he is sure this internship will help him get insight into correct marketing and financial practices.

Reema Shrivastava, 2011-13 batch – “Thanks To The Summer Internship Programme Of Jaipuria Noida, I Am Getting To Know The Real Corporate World”

Post author By admin
Post date May 25, 2012

Summary: Reema Shrivastava, PGDM student of Jaipuria Noida, is enjoying her summer internship project with Bajaj Capital in Delhi. She is getting to know the real corporate world from close quarters, and learning a lot every day.
Every big journey begins with a small step. Reema Shrivastava, PGDM (General) student at Jaipuria Noida, is surely taking her baby steps nicely, learning about the real corporate world and actually living the life of a corporate executive, not just listening about it or watching it from outside. She is working as summer intern with Bajaj Capital.
She finds the atmosphere very professional. One has to adhere to the office rules. “College life is different. But in office you can’t remain idle. Apart from that, one has to be dressed in formal wears and behave like a professional. It was a little uncomfortable in the beginning, but now I am enjoying the enthusiasm and energy here. I am meeting new and interesting people, and getting to know the real corporate world—hardworking, efficient and result oriented,” says Reema.
She is studying performance appraisal mechanism followed in Bajaj Capital. “Performance appraisal has always been a hot and rather controversial topic, especially in the business world. A good appraisal serves as a motivator while a bad appraisal kills the desire to do one’s best,” says Reema. “So, performance appraisal is an effective tool in the art of motivating and retaining employees,” says Reema, explaining the importance of her project.
She hails from Jabalpur and is currently doing her internship in Delhi. She is staying with her sister and this saves her from the trouble of organizing for her food and accommodation. But she has her fair share of difficulties. “Commuting in Delhi is a real problem but I have learnt to take it in my stride. Every day is a learning experience and there is so much to learn here,” concludes Reema.

Jaipuria Noida Placement Update

Ritu Sabnani, A Graduate of Jaipuria Noida, tells us about her placement experience at Jaipuria Noida

Post author By admin
Post date May 21, 2012

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.
