Life at JBIMS    

It all began on 29th July, 2009 at 06.45 A.M. in the morning. With some nervousness and some excitement I was sitting with 120 chosen out of 1 lack 20 odd thousands, as a part of the Batch of 2011, in the historical auditorium of Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies. I was to change for ever. The learning began with understanding the discipline of time, attire, presentations etc. Following couple of months were roloking. For the pottery to take a proper shape the clay  must be crushed well to avoid any glut. This is what happens at JBIMS. You are made to realize the standard this Business School of towering repute, demands in order to become a real Bajajite.

In the initial couple of months we learnt time management, how to handle pressure, presentation skills etc. My confidence, general knowledge and acumen were tested straight on, as we were faced with many challenging activities with stiff deadlines.

Our eyes twinkled with admiration for brilliance when we were introduced to the veteran faculty of JBIMS who are not just preachers, but practitioners. Bookish theories were understood with practical industrial happenings and sometimes even rewritten with uncommon perspectives. These stalwarts were giving us learning of 3 decades in 3 hours. We were asked to catch the true flavor of the bazaar by venturing out on the streets to learn marketing and were made to comprehend the implications of numbers in financial statements. All the concepts of Kotler, DFMA, MBWA, and Pokayoke etc. were made to be practiced and experienced during our studies.

In my opinion, the real incentive of JBIMS is its location and its non-residential campus, which thwarts you from remaining in the comfort zone. This is also the reason why JBIMS ranks first in terms of the Return on Investment among all the B-Schools in the country. You are always in touch with the pulse of the outside world.

Its proximity from the corporate head quarters facilitates those ameliorating guest lectures by executives whose words are unparallel to any business book. We enjoyed and learnt immensely from industrial leaders such as CEOs; NSE, U TV, Axis Holdings and many more.

You live and enjoy life Bajaj way, once the eight pillars; its committees take charge of its fun and academic activities. Nothing is free or complementary at JBIMS. You’ve got to do it your self and every Bajajite learn it the hard way. In the process we learn a great deal of organizing, man management, leadership, decision making etc. you have it all here; parties, Strategym, quick summers-off summers, quizzes, competitions, real industrial case challenges etc.

One word to explain life at Bajaj is ‘Befalling’. You’ve got to be on your toes to face surprise tests, 7 A.M. to 9 P.M. lectures, the competitions etc. You will always be short of time to pick up the offerings that this great institute has got to offer. It’s not a wonder to me any more as to why its called the ‘CEOs factory’.
