Competing With The Best - JBIMS
Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies is located at the heart of South Mumbai. Our lectures started in Mid-August of 2017. As we all know that Mumbai receives heavy rainfall during the rainy season and last year was no different than that. Because of the busy schedule of the B school, we JBites were also going through busy schedule of college lectures, guest lectures, various competitions etc. The only problem is that unlike other top B schools Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies does not offer residential management program. That is the reason why some of the students attending all the lectures came from a place which is 50 km away from the location where college students. Some of them are even came from other parts of Maharashtra and were in the Mumbai city for the first time and had no idea of how heavy rains can affect Mumbai. As I recall, there was one particular day of August where meteorological department had predicted heavy rainfall. We had pre-planned lecture schedule as well as Guest lectures on the same day. It was raining heavily. I live very near to the college so I was able to go to the college. When I reached there, I did not expect that many of students attending lectures as the rain had affected Mumbai's transportation. To my surprise almost everyone was present in the college. Students left home early so that they can reach college before rain stops the local train to stop. Unfortunately Guest lecture was cancelled because the lecturers were not able to arrive at the college but all the students were present. This is what unique about Jamnalal Bajaj Institute. Everyone is willing to take extra efforts so that they can be ahead of everyone else and can compete with the best.
