Student Testimonial: Apeksha Talks About How JIM, Indore has Helped her Grow

After the completion of her graduation from the Sri Satya College for Women, Bhopal, she was was looking for an institute which would help her to further her career prospects and Jaipuria Indore seemed the obvious choice. Not only was this rated as one of the best Business Schools in the region, but it also offered a campus life that is rich and varied – one which promotes learning at every level.

“I consider myself lucky to be able to experience hostel life. The dormitory is my home and the campus vibrates with life and a host of extra-curricular activities, many of which I excel in,” she says.

Studying at the Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore, however, is not all about academics – it’s much more. “Late night chatting sessions, sharing confidences with your friends – and of course studying!” says Malviya who admires all the faculty members at the Institute for their dedication and excellent teaching skills.

However, she has a special word of praise for Dr. Priti Bakhshi, Chair – Corporate Relations and Placements. Malviya highly tells about Dr. Priti, “She has really helped me grow. Her patience and support in answering my queries – be they personal or professional – and her guidance has improved me as an individual. She is multi- talented and delivers her best in almost all areas whether it is in running a Campus Company “Bakers Best”, or participating in fashion shows, dance, dramas, writing MRC (Media Relationship Club) reports, doing live projects, event celebrations, Radio or Disc Jockeying or any academic activities.”

She also said that some of the significant opportunities for growth take place outside the classroom – in the residence halls, through service projects, in clubs and other student programs and activities. And Jaipuria Indore provides all this and more. I found every moment in Jaipuria Indore memorable and worth cherishing. It is so hard to choose the most memorable amongst them.

She was an intern with Pantaloons during Jaipuria Indore’s Winter Internship Program and their appreciation for her work meant a lot. It gave her reason to celebrate her success and the confidence to fly high she said. she says she has learnt a lot from JaipuriaIndore.

Her batch-mate Parul Nayak says about Apeksha. “Initially when I met Apeksha, I assumed she was someone with a haughty attitude but I was proved absolutely wrong once I started working with her. She is really a great support especially during difficult times and is someone you can rely on. Hard working, generous and understanding are adjectives that define her.”

Contributing to the holistic development of every student are all the extra-curricular activities that Jaipuria Indore provides. Malviya vouches for this when she says that her take-away will be the “fabulous campus life experience, the proactive qualities and the problem-solving skills” that she has developed. She says-
