Akriti Rastogi's Review on Jaipuria Lucknow - Jaipuria Institute of Management

I wished to do an internship in digital marketing, and the college provided me with such an opportunity to make my career. They connected me with an internship at a startup in Banglore in Digital Marketing. It was paid and a great learning experience.

The average CTC is around 6LPA with the primary recruiters as Amazon, Deloitte, ITC, Bajaj, HDFC Bank, ICICI bank, etc. 

Jaipuria has a great Alumni network. They connect with their alumni every year. Through the years, some of them are working at senior positions at MNCs or have their own startups. They are regularly invited to the campus for guiding the students.  They have been very helpful in securing good placements as well.

The classrooms and labs are fully air-conditioned. There is a sports ground for enthusiasts.

The campus has 2 hostels, 1 for girls and 1 for boys. Lunch is served in the college cafeteria to all the hostellers, whereas breakfast and dinner are served in the hostels.

The eligibility criteria is above 60% in CAT. They conduct Group Discussions followed by a personal interview if qualified. I took CAT 2015 and applied directly for the Jaipuria Institute of Management.

The classes start at 9:30 A.M. till 5 P.M. Classes are generally held in the traditional way, although some professors design presentations for review. Class presentations by students are mandatory for regular assessment. There are a total of 6 trimesters. Each trimester has a mid-term and a final exam, after which the cumulative CGPA is calculated. 

The labs and libraries are good. The library opens at 8 A.M. and closes at 8 P.M. There is a small cafeteria, serving a large variety of junk food.  

The scholarships are available for candidates who have a CAT score of above 80 percentile. They need to maintain a CGPA of 7, which if failed to meet the scholarship is cancelled.  

There are numerous clubs like Placement, Academics, Social Responsibility, Media Relations, Sports, Cultural, Conference & Events, etc. The junior members have personal interviews for the selection by the Head of these clubs and a Faculty head of the club. The President, the Vice- President and the Head of each club are decided by anonymous voting followed by the interview of the top 3 candidates in each category.
