A management student knows a fair deal about the necessity of soft skills and “stress management.” With the never ending demands of the industry and expectations of industry veterans, Jaipurians go through rigorous placement preparation before week zero starts on campus and in sync to that, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow called a wrap with its ‘Individual Development Program’ on campus. A two days’ initiative starting from 19th Jan, 2018 under the controlled supervision of Career Management Centre (CMC), the programme has been instrumental for students preparing for the placement season ahead.
This programme was setup post the Career Assessment Test that was provided to students where they were put through a series of questions and answers. Their performance indicated their inclination towards their area of interest and the managerial domain wherein they have dominant probabilities of performing well. The Individual Development Program was held as a sequel to the Career Assessment Test for the students where they were helped in identifying their skills and building on their core strengths, which is meant to benefit them in their final placements.
The process went on for two days in which the students were interviewed by a panel comprising of two members, one Faculty and one Corporate Guest.
The PGDM students of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow were asked to fill a form that included their strengths, weakness and their career goals & industry preference, along with which they had to carry their resumes on the basis of which the panel guided them towards their ultimate goal and what they should do to achieve that.
The corporate guest and the faculty evaluated the student on the basis of clarity of thoughts, industry knowledge, and self-awareness and on the basis of situation driven answers that were formulated by them. The panel tried to put the candidate in the actual corporate scenario and evaluate them on the basis of their behaviour and answers.
The Individual Development Programme was a very enriching experience and motivated the students to build up their strengths and work on their areas of improvements to achieve their targets and be successful in life by working hard and staying dedicated to their dreams.
