The group also made it to the National University of Singapore, which is the country’s flagship university with a global approach. It has 37,000 students from over 100 countries studying in 16 streams. It also has three Research Centres of Excellence (RCE) and 23 university-level research institutes and centres. “Just being at a university of such magnitude was an amazing experience. We were shown all the facilities, including the sprawling library that had us quite curious. It was truly one of the highlights of the trip for us,” said Ashish Saxena.
From classroom learning to on-campus interactions, the exposure offered to students was comprehensive. It was nicely rounded up with the visit to the Action Community by Entrepreneurship, Singapore’s special platform for start-ups and young entrepreneurs. Here the students were inspired by the stories of young entrepreneurs, who shared their vision and passions. “We loved hearing their stories because they were quite motivating. The way they faced their challenges gave us courage to pursue our dreams too,” said Prerna Pandey.
That’s how an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime International trip came to an end. The trip gave students important global exposure, which is another goal for the institute. After all, this wasn’t the first time students from JKBS had embarked on a foreign journey. Last year, four students from the B School had gone to California State University, Monterey Bay on an exchange program. Also, it is important to note that the Govind Hari Singhania Global Leadership Award reduced the financial burden on students, who studied at the prestigious university for one term. The latest Singapore sojourn was another fulfilling and enriching global experience for the students
