And now that Gaurav has proven himself with the placement, he is looking forward to the challenges of his job and the responsibilities that come with it: “I will have to achieve set targets on Equity, Non-Equity and other value added products, organize lead generation activities, liaison with the bank team and drive numbers through them and more”. But, he is ready to take them on because he feels his confidence has been boosted with the training and industry exposure he received at JKBS.
Gaurav mentions the contribution of the Training and Placement department at his institute, which in many ways prepared him for the crucial phase of his life. He admits that it was their efforts that helped him bag the job. “I feel we are also lucky to have so many renowned faculty members who have industry experience”, he reflects. “They helped us understand the practical implications of management concepts, which was quite helpful. Our faculty members were also quite friendly and helpful all throughout”. Learning how to handle several tasks under intense pressure, keeping up with deadlines, interacting with people from different fields, and working in teams are some of the crucial take homes from his academic stint at the institute. Gaurav also has memories that will last him a lifetime: “It’s only natural that I feel really nostalgic and emotional leaving the institute. I have shared such special moments here and I would ask my juniors to live theirs to the fullest and come out with a positive attitude”. These final, reflective words are surely shared by many who have attended the renowned B school. And, for Gaurav, this time was critical in developing the skills needed to be a leader in the business world.
