Careers360: Did you face any difficulty in the initial months when you joined the institute?

Answer: Initially Delhi was completely new to us. The city made us uncomfortable as the people, places, and food preferences are quite different. However, the mentors and faculty at JIMS helped us and made this transition smooth. We now feel that shifting to Delhi was a cakewalk. We have become an expert at traveling in Delhi metro and also have a comfortable lodging to stay for the 2 years of the PGDM programme at the institute’s hostel.

Events are planned and organized in a manner that they groom the personality of the students. We are keen participants in the Sports and Cultural club and are involved in organizing several activities.

Careers360: What is your routine on a typical day at your institute – from the time you wake up till you go to sleep?

Generally classes at the institute commence from 9:30 AM so we wake up at 7 AM to make sure to reach the institute 10 minutes early. The lectures are coupled with some extracurricular activities on a weekly basis. Our lunch begins between 1 PM to 1:45 PM or depending upon the stretch of the lecture being delivered by the faculty. After the classes get over by 5 PM, we straightaway head to the hostel. We take our evening tea with some snacks to freshen up, go to the park to take a stroll in the lap of nature and rewind our mind to study again. Before dinner we try to complete my assignments and after dinner we revise my classroom notes for the next day. We generally go to bed by 12:30 AM.

Answer: We have a good understanding and interactive relationship with our faculty. They are not just teachers but also our guide.

Careers360: What facilities do you have on campus? What do you feel is unique and differentiating there?

Answer: We have various facilities available at the campus e.g. An excellent canteen, Nescafe Hotspot, and the library, amongst others. What we love is the computer lab from where we could get our coloured printouts. These printouts are saviors for us whenever we make projects or sometimes late at night when we realize that we have forgotten to get printouts of coloured pictures or something else required to complete the project. The most unique and differentiating facility that we have at JIMS is the fact that there is a mentor allotted to each student. They are not only teaching us but they are also mentoring us for everything including internship projects. So we always have a guide to whom we can reach out and share our problems.

Careers360: How do you balance your studies, projects, exams and other activities?

Answer: Managing all this is quite hectic. However, because we are interested in the studies as well as our projects, we find ways to manage. In fact it was the first time that we had back-to-back exams for 10 days with only three days leave to prepare for it. Yet we were able to manage it with dedicated efforts.
