Management Catalytic to Dance, Says Prabhakar Awardee at Jaipuria-Noida

Choosing between a hobby that’s your passion and a profession can be difficult. And so it was for Sneha, a Prabhakar holder from Allahabad Prayas Samiti, in Kathak.
“When it came to picking one, I thought it wiser to go for a management course at Jaipuria-Noida.” To this passionate dancer, one who has been at it since grade 1, Jaipuria-Noida happened by chance. Seeing the lack of enthusiasm at other places, Sneha was initially dejected. Then, on her friends’ suggestions, she took admission at Jaipuria-Noida. Today, she couldn’t have been happier.
“The institute makes you feel that all the effort you’re putting in is worthwhile,” she says. Classroom teaching clubbed with case studies and lively discussions hold forth the significance of this prestigious course in management. The teachers are always willing to help. The class doesn’t end with lectures. In case of doubts, one can always run up to the teachers, Sneha says.
Kathak isn’t Sneha’s only passion. She has tried her hand at other styles as well, some of which include banjara nritya, freestyle, filmi and Odissi. However, paying heed to her parents’ advice, Sneha chose to pursue management.
“Today, I do not regret my decision.” Here, at Jaipuria-Noida, she’s on par with the other students intellectually. She can relate to them, share a bonding and gel with them on the academic level as well as on the co-curricular activity level. The hostels, with all the facilities, are resident-friendly.
With everything going for her at Jaipuria-Noida, Sneha has a piece of advice for all those who find
themselves on crossroads of making a career choice. It is vital to prepare a strong ground with a
professional degree in academics, she says. A degree in management, she says, will help one in one’s
pursuits later in life. “If one wants to extend the passion of dance and set up an academy, or even
organise stage shows, for that matter, managing it will not be tough if one is professionally qualified.”
An academic degree in this field will provide a platform to the form of art that neither dies nor is difficult
to carry out at any stage in life.
Line for the web site: She proves management, dance can go hand-in-hand.

Jaipuria Noida’s Research Professor Richa Mishra Follows Texts to a T But Not in Her Teaching Methods

In her two-year stint at Jaipuria-Noida, research professor Richa Mishra has come to personify the insitute’s philosophy – that communication is a two-way process. As such, she doesn’t believe in only lecturing her students on research methodologies in management but uses interactive sessions.
“One must learn to make the lectures interesting,” she says. It is more important for students to understand the concept rather than just sit through lectures. Therefore, she resorts to ways of discussion, not just dictation. “Case studies and visual exercises such as paper presentations are vital teaching methodologies that one must practise,” she says.
That’s not only as far as the teacher-student equation at Jaipuria-Noida, goes. The professor says the institute is a well-structured place. In the absence of a hierarchical system, the management is open about all their decisions. They treat every teacher as indispensable. The institute gives a lot of importance to the feedback from the professors. Apart from a top-down approach, it also looks at the bottom-up flow of communication. That helps, says Richa.
Apart from the academics, Richa also personifies the institute’s objective of all-round development. Each professor volunteers for a co-curricular activity committee. Here, she heads the modal training management group.
It is no wonder that she is highly popular among the students of Jaipuria-Noida. The secret, she says, lies in “making the student catch up with the same wavelength as yours while you are teaching a topic.”
So much so for a teacher’s approach. As far as students are concerned, she says, they should also reciprocate a teacher’s enthusiasm and give their best in achieving the target, academically and even as far as their overall development is concerned. Today, managers within the industry must work on strengthening their basics. It is imperative to make the study base strong. One cannot simply rely on Internet search engines for details of all kinds, Richa says. According to her, “Theory given in the books is the basic support structure. Never forget this.” Paper presentations and other visual techniques must go hand in hand with these theories. The former must solely be an application stand; the latter, sacrosanct, she says.
In addition to knowledge – of theoretical systems and industrial methodologies – the Jaipuria professorlays emphasis on a proactive approach. Laziness and procrastination never help in reaching the heights, she says. One must have the confidence to face people and situations at all times. Another helpful tip is to “be a team member.” Since companies designate broad work tasks to teams, not individuals, one must learn how to work and behave in a team, she says. In her case studies and visual-aided presentations, she explains how while retaining one’s self, one should also take notice of the other people in the team. One must work with them, understand them, be compassionate, but at the same
time, never lose sight of the goal – of the task at hand, of the company and even each individual’s workprofile, she says.

Hyderabad beckons Jaipuria Noida's Kush

Kush Kaushish, a PGDM student (2010-12 batch) of Jaipuria Noida, has been offered a place at Deloitte.Kush specialized in Marketing and Finance and his position in the company will be that of a tax analyst. Being chosen by the first company to visit the campus this year is obviously an achievement for this Delhi guy.
What could have put a damper on Kush’s career plans is that fact that the position is in Hyderabad. However, he realizes how opportunity doesn’t knock twice so he is willing to relocate and will be joining the organization coming August.
Ask him how he prepared for the interview and his answer comes as a surprise. Kush says he was aware that the company was looking for someone with a solid grounding in taxation. He says whatever little he did study was about the tax laws in India. However, Deloitte was on the lookout for someone conversant with the US laws. At the same time, they wanted someone with strong accounting skills. That’s where Kush’s commerce background stood him in good stead. As for the interview,Kushsays he didn’t stress too much over taxation but chose to hone his communication skills.
While he’s been offered Rs 4.2 lakh p.a. as starting salary, he says two years down the line, he sees himself as a tax analyst- Grade II.
About his last two years at Jaipuria,Kus hsays when he joined the institute; he had six-month work experience with Naukri.com. However, he wanted a career in finance. Jaipuria Noida is the best B-school in the NCR with the best faculty for finance in the entire region, he says. He has gained both the theoretical and practical knowledge of the domain. For his internship,Kushcaught the eye of one of the visiting faculties and found a place for himself at Indagadio Research where he interned for 10 weeks.
Kush says of the time he spent at Jaipuria Noida, only 50% of it went in studying. The rest of the time, he was either coordinating or participating in sports or co-curricular activities. This, he says, is one of the best things about the institute. Jaipuria Noida is constantly growing, re-inventing itself. A case in point, the institute has done away with its earlier grading system which was absolute. Now, it is relative.
Even among all the Jaipuria institutes, Kush says that his alma mate( Jaipuria Noida) is the best. In fact, he adds, that students from Lucknow and Jaipur, if they haven’t been placed, come all the way to Noida.

Faculty of HR & OB at Jaipuria Noida,Dr.Shalini Shrivastava, spearheads student satisfaction survey initiative

No one is perfect. This applies to Institutions too. But only those who try to overcome their weaknesses and strive for perfection finally reach the top. Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida is going out of the way to help students reach the pinnacle of success by ironing out the bottlenecks. Spearheading this mission, along with the Director General Jaipuria Institute of Management ( All campuses) J.D. Singh, is Dr. Shalini Shrivasta, Associate professor OB & HR.
Dr. Shalini is a hardcore researcher, who is using her skills for the benefit of students, what if she has to go the extra mile and devote more time. Although just a year old in the organisation, this veteran’s contribution to the organisation will be remembered for years to come. And this is just the beginning. “The whole project is based on students’ feedback on every aspect of the institution. After going through each and every suggestion, certain decisions have been taken, and results will be in front of everyone very soon”, says Dr. Shalini. “Importantly, this student satisfaction survey is not just a one-time exercise. This will be a regular phenomenon and students will have every opportunity to get their problems redressed “, adds Dr.Shalini.
Associate professor Dr. Shalini Srivastava is very happy that she got an opportunity to work in an esteemed organisation like Jaipuria Noida which is devoted to students’ welfare.
Apart from her academic talent, what makes Dr. Shalini stand out is her enthusiasm and love for the profession. “I tell my students that they should do what they love to do, and everything else will fall in line”, says Dr.Shalini, without realizing that she is thumping the table. Well, it is heartening to see a teacher thumping the table for students cause. Dr.Shalini has been in the academics for the last fifteen years. Teaching OB & HR at Jaipuria Noida, she has an advice for HR students—be ready to slog in the initial years and career will boom after that. Contrary to popular belief that HR is easy, she stresses that it is equally demanding and requires one to put in the best in order to succeed.
She busts the myth that HR is for girls. “Now, boys outnumber and outshine girls in HR. It is no longer dominated by girls. Anyone who understands human behavior and knows how to deal with people can carve a niche for oneself”, says Dr.Shalini. This hardcore professional is a mother too, who is happy that she is able to spend quality time with her baby. Although she sometimes calls her second year students Beta(Son), but she considers them budding mangers who are mature and ready to take on the fierce world of Business.

Dr. Aman Srivastava of Jaipuria Noida: A Bit More than Management

Jaipuria Noida is a great learning environment, not only for the students but for the faculty as well. There is a lot of emphasis on ethics and logic,” Dr. Aman Srivastava’s opening line is focused and interesting, just like the man himself.
With decades of experience behind him Dr. Srivastava is the gem at Jaipuria Noida. He has been with the B-School since its inception. “Initially it was a typical technical type of institute. We then introduced courses like Diploma in Management, PGDM Services, PGDM Retail, etc. Student quality improved. Today, we frequently upgrade our curriculum; focus on getting better, think of what better can we offer our students,” says this teacher of Corporate Finance and Financial Management.
A favourite among his students, he is known to keep them on their toes. He constantly grills them with questions on current events and corporate happenings. “Uncertainty is rising and they have to be on their toes. They must survive in this challenging environment. Knowledge is the key. If you don’t work hard and are not on your toes, it is very difficult for you to survive. We prepare our students to face realities. They should not have any fear when they go into the business world,” his reasons for the class grilling are completely validated.
Another reason his classes have low absenteeism is because of the processes he adopts. “The learning at Jaipuria is experiential. It is not based on the traditional chalk and talk method. While there are lectures, it is more of a case based teaching. However, we emphasise more on learning by doing,” he says. What better way is there to learn as you do? The very experience of the doing teaches you where you could be going wrong, or for that matter, right.
Typically, a Jaipuria Noida student is given many career options. They can either turn entrepreneur or go corporate. “We have people from the industry come and talk to them; some of them are our own alumni. We have tie up with National Entrepreneurship Network, too. Entrepreneurship holds more responsibility than a job,” he says, clear about giving the Jaipuria Noida students what they seek – a bit more than just management studies.
He ends with a bit of advice to the students not just of Jaipuria but to the students of the entire business world. “Understand not only Indian business environment but global business environment is changing very fast. The experiences from US, Europe and other free economies like France and Italy are facing the heat of uncertainty and crisis. It is rising day by day. The managers of today should be prepared for today and for more uncertainties that wait in the future. Their level of preparation should be very high, without any shortcuts.”

Jaipuria Noida embracing technology to wire up students to its hybrid library.

With the advancement of information technology and the internet, the world of knowledge is just a click away at Jaipuria Noida. Our communication methods have undergone a sea change and have changed the ways we gather information. Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida can boast of a very rich Library and Resource Centre since 2004, which started offering its services on the web in 2008. But as if that is not enough—they are furiously working to put in place a state-of-the-art virtual library that will change the way students collect data and gather information.
“Presently we have a hybrid library which offers print material such as books and magazines as well as electronic-based material but to introduce more features and make it accessible to all the students and faculty, we are embracing various advanced technologies”, says Suresh K. Chauhan, Librarian at Jaipuria Noida, who is always looking for ways to attract students to the library.
PGDM has become very competitive and in order to excel, students and faculty members need to access quality literature. “We gather literature from all our resources and pool it at one place so that our students and teachers access best material available. For example, we recently got the subscription of IMF’s digital library”, says Mr. Chauhan. Jaipuria Noida has made arrangements with other organizations and foreign institutions so that resource exchange can take place. “We are able to access latest research and theories which help us get an international perspective on present-day problems”, says a second-year PGDM student.
All this is not to suggest that the physical library is being relegated to a secondary position. The physical library provides an environment to study which no electronic library can provide, and many students prefer printed material.
Innovative methods are devised to encourage students to use library and consult available material. Names of the best five books and best five library users of the months are displayed on the notice boards and the web site of the institute. It has been observed that frequent visits to the library get reflected as improvement in grades. Concepts like these are showing their results as it helps motivate students to visit the library and make use of the vast resource of knowledge at Jaipuria Noida.
