O.P. Jindal Global University Sonepat Answered Questions

Dear Readers , I would intentionally not like to name any college here as reply to the above questions but show some guidance to all here through my experience being in Education Sector . Before i start sharing my thoughts i would like my readers to understand that while choosing a B school a student need to do a self introspection also. Students are the brand ambassadors of all Colleges / Universities .
The 5 Year Integrated BBA(H) + MBA program at JGBS is a very practical , multidisciplinary and Industry oriented courses which is consciously designed to meet the changing needs to the Job market .

Before sharing my reply I would like to clarify that my reply to the above answer is not be adjudged with my current Designation and role. Having spent more than 16 years in Higher Education since the year 2003 when I completed my MBA and we started witnessing the Privatization of Higher Education in India I saw lot many changes in Higher Education — positive and negative as well.
I personally feel that many people in our country feel that Education at College Level is better in a Government College as compared to a private Institution. They think Private Colleges and Universities are made for profit and do not focus on Quality education. They are also of the opinion that serious students only aspire to Govt Colleges and usually in private colleges anyone and everyone can get a seat, you just need to have the affordability.
I would like to raise a few points here and leave my readers to think over them:-
Should we compare an Apple with an Orange just because both appear to be identical in shape?
Do the marks scored by a student in Class 10th or 12th or the Entrance exam makes him/her perfect to be a successful person later in life? I feel the very nature of Private Universities to adapt to the changing environment, come up with advanced curricula, and collaborate with Industry and International Partners to help their students to be future-ready. In one of the replies to the above question, I read someone quoted that JGBS has very young faculty who have just completed PhD and are teaching there. I personally feel that what is the harm if the faculty is YOUNG? We must try to understand that these people have taken Education as a passion with making it their profession. There was a time when becoming a Professor was the last option for anyone. We as educationists have a greater responsibility to make the future of our community. Be it Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers or any other profile they all need good teachers.
When we accept young MBA graduates as Vice President, CEO, and CFO then why there is a mental blockage if there is a Professor who is equally Young? I feel the connection which a Professor of 35 or 40 Years can make with this “Generation Z ” is more useful. Jindal Global Business School has an unmatched Faculty: Student Ratio of 1: 9 . I have hardly heard this ever in my professional career in any College in India. JGU is a fully residential campus where no student at the Graduation level can step out of the main gate until their parents approve their gate-pass
