I have also participated in different events organized by various committees of the college. Apart from this, I am a junior member of the Admission Committee. There are tons of extra-curricular activities including workshops and fests in the college.

After my Xth grade, I was unclear about my stream for higher secondary education. Though Arts stream was never on my mind, I was quite confused between Science and Commerce. At that time, one of my seniors gave me an insight into the basics of accounts and banking and that build up my interest in this field. This greatly influenced my decision of choosing Commerce as my stream. During my graduation, I developed even more interest in accounting and finance and decided to further pursue an MBA in Finance. I wanted to take Finance as my first specialization because I have an interest in banking and finance. Marketing is an interesting subject and I wanted it as my second specialization.

I gave several entrance exams and researched several top B-schools in India. Eventually, I shortlisted a few colleges for myself and finally, decided to go with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow. The three main reasons for choosing the Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow were:

• Placement opportunities at Jaipuria Institute of Management are very good and promising.
• The faculty of Jaipuria Institute of Management is amazing.
• Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow is in my hometown.

I wanted a good B-school so I joined Satyam Coaching to prepare for the entrance exams. I also watched several videos related to quant, LRDI and English. I  gave CMAT, CAT and XAT and got a decent score in these exams. I immediately applied for admission in Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow as soon as the results were out. 

Talking about academics, each subject that I have studied till now has been very interesting. The faculty members are quite helpful, patient and friendly. My favourite subjects are Corporate Finance, Marketing Management, Business Economic Environment and Organizational Behavior. Business Text Analysis subject has improved my business writing and presentation skills.

After coming to college, I have gained a lot of knowledge about how things work in various sectors and industries. I feel that participating in various extra-curricular activities have boosted my confidence. Jaipuria Institute of Management has developed my overall personality and made me more self-reliant and poised. If given a chance I would like to participate in a singing competition and would also love to participate in a drama as I am interested in acting.
