Life at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur is however not all about academics. As Manglunia explains, \u201cJaipuria has given me many opportunities to showcase my talent on campus and outside.

I hope I can make them proud,\u201d she adds. Says Dr. Nidhi Vashishth, \u201cUpasana is a very promising student and is shaping up as a true professional.
