One thing that I have always been proud of is the bunch of people around me. No wonder I have met with the cream of the cream in JBIMS. Here are students from age 20 to 26, yes we have our differences but our seniors made us realise that, unless and until we all come on the same ground, we won’t achieve what we want to. What more can one ask for?
My first day at JBIMS was a complete 180 than what I had expected from a b-school. No, it wasn’t just gaining knowledge from every possible contributor or about presentations and networking. It was a legitimate rat race amongst the brightest minds in the country to bag a company, a brand they could attach their names with forever, right here in the financial hub of the country.
'Sleepless days and sleepless nights' is what characterizes a usual day of an MMS student at JBIMS was what we had heard before joining this institute. The induction was one hell of a roller coaster ride that really tested our limits where we didn’t even remember if at all we slept or not. This was a conditioning to our mind and body to push our limits to the maximum and I can say that somehow, I managed to survive. After the induction was over I was relieved but our relief lasted for a very short time as the pressure of attending lectures, completing the assignments and giving group presentations started and the memories of induction soon began to surface. No one is complaining though as this institute compels its students to break their moulds and unleash their skills within. Education is imparted at JBIMS by amalgamating both theoretical and practical aspects of the business. With the plethora of seminars/ placement talks held at the institute every month wherein its alumni engage students with their rich experiences and practical business scenarios are the core learnings we business students need. Thus, students at this institute gain various business perspectives which give them an edge over other B-school students. One of the best assignments was to go in the market and collect everything that we could find in garbage bags. This helped me overcome my fear about the way we approach complete strangers and with more exposure learnt how exactly should information be extracted from them. We had many similar such assignments where we got real life practical experience. Faculty at JBIMS mostly comprises of professors, managers, industry stalwarts, and its alumni and the teaching methodology is mostly case based and the lectures are interactive in nature. Apart from all these advantages, life is not easy at JBIMS, especially in its first year. There is no fixed timetable or lecture schedule. Students get to know about the schedule only a day prior in advance. So, this institute is known to keep us on our toes all year round. But great things in life don’t come easy and that is why we the students take these challenges positively and this institute helps us in shaping us in the right direction. All these characteristics make JBIMS unique and a worthy place to be in to enrich one's knowledge. Hence it is rightly called the ‘CEO factory of India’.
In my case, that extra mile leads me to Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies. I have completed my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Information Technology from Vivekanand college which is considered one of the prime institutes in Mumbai.
After many ups and downs, trading-off between B-schools and overcoming the anxiety to leave home for the first time I landed up in NITIE the 'Mecca of Supply Chain'. I have always been attracted to the pedagogy of B-schools, the case-based discussions, group projects, and what not. So, I was all set for my first class waiting eagerly to start my MBA journey.
From the very first day at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, I have found that everything about the institute is unique. Right from the diversified crowd of students to the esteemed professors, each attribute of the college stands out. But during my one year in the college, I feel that the most memorable and fascinating experience I have had, has to be the annual festival “Prayaag 18” and specifically the competition named Survival of the Fittest which was a complete blend of case studies and fun games spanning over a period of 50 hours. I have written down my experience of the same below.
For most of the MBA students, life becomes like profit and loss statement, it can either give you a good experience or bad one but the funny thing about experiences is that you can never know what they have taught you unless you implement them in similar scenario.
Standing in the heart of the financial capital of India is an old red brick building that is an epitome of wisdom, business intelligence, success, and a source of inspiration to many; driving them to pursue their passion and witness their dreams come true. Such is the aura of the institution that gave our nation the first full-time two-year Master of Management Studies course in 1965 – Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies. It is a dream of many, a house to many and a life-changing catalyst to many. With eyes full of dreams and a heart full of excitement, I stepped foot into the legendary building on July 21, 2017.
