MBA needs CARE

Continuous Learning is the key to one’s development and in this fast-changing environment, it is essential to upskill yourself in a structured and practical approach. While shortlisting colleges to which I can apply for pursuing an MBA, I was looking for an institute that provides CARE (Career growth, Alumni network, Relationship building and Education). The one-year Global MBA (GMBA) at SP Jain School of Global Management(SPJSGM) offers you the right balance between opportunities and experiences through its unique tri-city model. Every cohort pursues one semester in Singapore, Sydney & Dubai helping the candidate to obtain a global outlook towards business practices.

C-areer Growth

Having worked as a Software Developer for 3.5 years, I was looking for a new opportunity in technology management to progress in my career path. GMBA at SPJSGM helps its students through its Professional Readiness Programme (PRP) which includes Resume & CV workshop, Communication & Leadership sessions, Case in Point workshops, building a Personal Brand and Mock Interview sessions to name a few. These sessions build confidence and help the students to be prepared for their campus interviews. The Global Immersion Projects (GIP) in each semester helps students to work on a live industry project and help their clients make important business decisions. This helps the students to gain insight into the kind of work they would do in their career post their MBA.

Currently, I work as a Senior Associate at PwC India and my campus recruitment is in line with my expectations for my career growth. In times of Covid, the Corporate Relations (CR) team at SPJSGM has ensured that opportunities arrive with the industry-standard compensation as desired by the students.

A-lumni Network

The strength of an institute is measured by the performance of its alumni. SPJSGM has been recognised with various world rankings owing to its successful global alumni network. The alumni hold various leadership positions and also promote entrepreneurship. SPJSGM holds Alumni Mixer events on campus where students get to interact with the alumni, learn from their experience and build relationships. The alumni are extremely patient in addressing the queries during these sessions and also guide the students through their MBA journey. As part of the PRP programme, the Alumni also conducts mock interviews with the students to prepare and provide feedback on their Resumes and Interviews.

E-ducation

Education is the foundational element of any MBA degree. SPJSGM has a structured credit-based teaching methodology, where the visiting faculties who are experts in their field impart knowledge and challenge the student’s thinking. The student board rooms (SBR) help students to work in a cross-cultural environment where the team analyses various scenarios, hold discussions and present solutions to a given problem.

The curriculum is focused on educating students in the field of Marketing, Supply Chain & Logistics, Finance, Consulting and Technology management. Special courses which are relevant to the current times are also provided as ad-hoc courses for students to learn and upskill themselves for the corporate environment.

The GMBA at SPJSGM helps in the all-round development of one’s personality, knowledge and inculcates a sense of confidence within the student to take on any challenge in one’s career and life. The relationship of a student with SPJSGM does not end with the course, in fact builds even further with new opportunities and learnings. Personally, I have had a great learning experience with SPJSGM where I met new people, built new career and relationships that last forever.
