Workshops at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow

Generally, these workshops are led by experts who have years of corporate experience. Under their guidance, students learn how things work in the business world out there. The average duration of a workshop at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow is 6-12 hours divided into different slots so that there is not a lot of pressure on the students. 

Based on what the students have learned at these workshops, they are given some followed-up assignments. The idea is to check how much the students were able to grasp and if the results are positive, it continues for the next batch. In case the results are opposite i.e., the level was too high, the respective faculty makes the changes accordingly. 

The resources are mostly some software or demo versions of the same that companies are using in their day-to-day lives. Students can access them via college so that they can perform the required actions. 

Assignments 

Students are assigned some assignments in group form and individually for each subject. These assignments make up for some portion of the internal marks depending upon the weightage the teacher will allot to it. Generally, it ranges from 20 to 40 marks. These assignments should be under the plagiarism limit. 

Projects 

Projects are of a larger scale requiring a deeper understanding and knowledge of the subject matter. There is normally one project given per student considering the analysis it requires to get to the outcome. Students need to cover various aspects of that assignment in detail. One can get guidance and any other sort of help from the faculty at any point in time. A report, a word document is submitted before the deadline to the faculty in form of soft copies. There is a certain limit to plagiarism as well that must be taken care of. 

One of the major project reports of the whole PGDM course is the SIP Report. The SIP report is the Summer Internship Project Report made after completing the internship. A student needs to cover all the aspects of his learning in it. Students usually set an objective in the initial days of the internship as per the work they do. It is up to the student what goal he/ she sets depending upon the type of profile he has got, and the responsibility he or she has been assigned. 

After that, one hard copy along with a soft one should be submitted before the SIP mentor assigned to the student. That report also contains an internship completion certificate as proof, duly signed by the internship manager/mentor. 

Viva is also taken on that report that includes a presentation. So, the student must be thorough with what he/ she mentions in that report. 

Quizzes 

Quizzes are also a part of the internal marking. These are the MCQ-based questions that carry 10 to 20 per cent of the total marks. The quizzes are taken online at the college’s platform called ‘moodle’ which is the login portal as well. The syllabus is generally whatsoever taught in the classes and is not something in-depth that one needs to go through. 

These quizzes are time-sensitive which means that they start and close for everyone at the same time. There is also a timer that keeps running side by side. One needs to finish the quiz in due time to avoid automatic submission with incomplete responses. 

Class Participation & Presentations 

Apart from all the quizzes and assignments, the student must actively participate in the class as well. This includes being interactive with the teacher, contributing to the discussions & debates and presenting your opinion. 

Presentations also take place as a part of the course curriculum. The aim is to build confidence in the student and improvise his people’s skills. It also teaches the student how to say more with fewer words and how data should be presented. 

Plagiarism Check 

As all the assignments, projects and reports have certain plagiarism limits that should not be crossed, here is something about how to deal with it. Starting with the platform for checking the plagiarism percentage, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow has its tool for that. Once the assignment is submitted at the link, it shows the plagiarism percentage after a few minutes. One can check the portion which is plagiarised and change that accordingly. 

Once changed, the assignment can be resubmitted. the limit is shown for the freshly submitted assignment too. 

This applies to the exams as well. There is a plagiarism limit set when exams are to be taken online that only applies to the covid scenarios otherwise the college conducts offline exams only.
