Jaipuria Institute of Management has made me quite bold and confident, says Mahendra Pal Singh

By: Mahendra Pal Singh

I appeared for several entrance exams such as CAT, MAT, and CMAT but was able to clear the MAT exam with a good score. With a decent score in MAT exam, I cleared both the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds at Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow.

I have done my schooling from The Millennium School, Lucknow. I chose the Commerce stream for my higher secondary education as I was interested in accounts. Seeing my brother solve different account numerical, gradually developed my interest in this subject. Accounts was the only subject in which I used to score the highest marks compared to all other subjects. Keeping in mind my interest, I decided to pursue PGDM to get an insight into the management sector and learn more about the working of various organizations, companies, and firms.

Getting admission to an esteemed college always requires a lot of hard work and so was the case with Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow. I appeared for several entrance exams such as CAT, MAT, and CMAT but was able to clear the MAT exam with a good score. With a decent score in MAT exam, I cleared both the Group Discussion and Personal Interview rounds at Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow. Finally, I got admission to the PGDM course at Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow.

I joined the TIME coaching institute to prepare for the entrance exams. I also tried for admission at NMIMS Mumbai but unfortunately, was unable to fulfill the college's eligibility criteria. In the end, I chose Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow as it has all the facilities that a top management institute should possess.

Due to the pandemic, everything including studies has gone for a toss. Colleges are closed and therefore, we have not physically attended the classes on the college campus. All the lectures have been provided through the online mode till now. Most of my time is spent on my mobile attending classes, competitions, and events that are held online. My favorite subject is Managing Human Resource in which we are provided all the required knowledge about Human Resource Management. 

I have been a part of various extra-curricular activities including sports. Apart from this, I am also a Member of the Admission Committee in my college. The college provides a lot of exposure to its students to enhance their skills. My college experience has changed me a lot. I was a shy and reserved person, but after joining the college, I became quite bold and confident. I was always hesitant to perform on stage, but participating in various activities at college helped me in getting rid of my stage fear.
