It is certainly worth joining Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow. It offers a good return on investment. The top 50% of students received an average package of INR 9.42 LPA during Jaipuria Lucknow placements in 2022. While the average package for the top 10% of students was INR 11.49 LPA. The highest CTC(international) stood at around INR 27 LPA. 

The institute offers excellent learning benefits and placements. Investing 9-10 lakhs for a management degree from Jaipuria is worth the investment. 

Many of my friends have been students of the institute and thanks to it, I can say that they have succeeded quite well.

• Jaipuria taught them a never-give-up attitude.
• Their education gave them an upper hand in the competitive world outside.
• Jaipuria Lucknow pays equal focus on the fields of entrepreneurship creating not just quality professionals, but also future leaders.
• In addition to that, of course, the infrastructure, the faculty, the exposure, and the opportunities are all a plus point.

Through the campus drives for placement, many of my friends got into a rather famous telecom giant in the country, where they worked with top executives of the region, before quitting and starting their own business. I don’t know about other entrepreneurs, but I do know that other institutes wouldn’t really spend that much focus to move students into realizing their true place.

Jaipuria Institue of Management (JIM) has 4 branches i.e. Lucknow (oldest), Noida, Jaipur, and Indore. My brother has completed his MBA from the Noida branch hence this answer will be based on his experience for JIM, Noida. Take a look at the pros and cons below to get a gist of the institute.

PROS:

• Legacy: Noida branch isn’t the oldest but it definitely is the fastest growing branch in terms of recognition in the industry and job prospects.
• Scholarships: If you have got good marks in 10th, 12th, and great score in MAT/CAT you are eligible for a good amount of scholarship. My brother got Rs 1 lakh of scholarship and his MAT percentile was 99.4.
• Placements: You can grab decent packages there as compared to its counterpart colleges that fall in the same tier i.e. because of the faculty and the placement team which. Also, my brother was once a part of a training placement coordinator. Recently, he came across the news that Amazon recruited from JIM Noida offering 15 LPA which is awesome.
• Academics: You might find the schedule to be a bit tough and busy because of numerous assignments, presentations, exams. However, you will realize that they help you develop multitasking skills that will come in handy in the future.
• Extracurricular: There are ample opportunities for extracurricular activities too and you will be able to balance it well with academics.
• Hostel: Hostels for both girls and boys are well equipped with all basic necessities and leisure activities. Also, you get spacious rooms!

CONS:

• Mess Food: The quality and taste of meals are not up to the mark. Students also complain of hygiene issues.
• Hostel Location: If you are a guy, you’ll get the histel which is situated in a rural area about 3km away from the campus.

Overall, the 2-year tenure of my brother at Jaipuria was great and he doesn’t regret it even a bit. Whichever college you go to, make sure you work hard and keep yourself active for an all-around development.

Both institutes are on the list of India’s top 75 management colleges and NIRF-2020 ranking by the Ministry of HRD. 

Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi is a university that offers several regular or part-time courses for UG, PG, doctoral, technical, non-technical, Diploma, and School programs. While, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow dedicates its curriculum to management education (MBA and PGDM). You should go to an institute that focuses on management studies.

Most essentially, there are several advantages of PGDM over an MBA offered by universities.

The disadvantages of an MBA from a university-

• Old Curriculum or Syllabus: One of the drawbacks of MBA courses offered by universities is their curriculum. The syllabus supposedly hasn't been updated for years.
• Theory: Academics for MBA at universities are mostly theory-based which has its limitation. 
• Almost No Practical Exposure: There is a valid absence of practical knowledge, industry exposure, and extracurricular activities. These are important for overall development and growth.
• Corporate Readiness: Most students do not become corporate ready only because of the lack of essential extra-curricular and industry-oriented practical programs. It results in students facing several problems ahead in the job sector. 

While the advantages of PGDM from a well-known institute-

• • Updated Syllabus: Several renowned institutes offer PGDM programs where the curriculum is updated as per need. Jaipuria Institute of Management thoroughly includes any change according to industry requirements. This will make you ready for the industry. 

• Theory And Practical: Students not only learn various aspects theoretically but also learn and experiment with several activities, programs, workshops, and training which provide them great practical exposure. 

• Industry Ready: Students are exposed to several extra-curricular activities, student growth programs, industry training, workshops, internships, and more. Their personality is relevantly developed by the very end of the course and they similarly also become corporate ready. 

Thus, you should choose Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow because it focuses mainly on management studies.

The training, guest faculty, international lectures will make sure that you are up to date with the latest industry trends. You will definitely be on level ground with the MBA graduates from other reputed B-Schools.
