My journey with Jaypee University

Course curriculum The course was designed to groom the graduates by inculcating the values in them. It was as per the latest industry trends. It was primarily designed to create awareness of global integration, business, law and social policies among the students. During my first year, I was taught financial accounting, business law, principles of management and business statistics. I opted for hospitality marketing in the second semester as an elective subject to develop interest in hospitality industry. I was taught computer fundamentals and Entrepreneurship as a part of Ability Enhancement Elective (AEE) in first and second semester respectively. The students who had interests in marketing opted for principles of marketing as generic elective course. It was a rigorous course with the economics subjects as well such as economy state and society, money and banking and public finance. The exam was held semester wise with the credits assigned to each subject. The core coursers had maximum credits while the electives had the minimum credits. We were given the freedom to choose any number of electives if we want to increase our credits.

Placement The Placement and Training Cell regularly organizes resume writing workshops, skill enhancement workshops and motivational talks. It is the most active cell of the university. Some of the top recruiters include IBM, Jaypee group, Axis bank, HT Media, DHL, Ola, EY, Berger paints and Aditya Birla Finance Ltd. The maximum package goes to INR 16 LPA while the average package ranges between INR 6-8 LPA. During my first semester, I worked as a summer intern for one month with HT Media handling their financial statements. I had also received training in stock management from them.

Fee structure The annual course fee was INR 74,667 which I found a bit expensive as compared to other private universities. But the management courses are anyways expensive. So it didn?t matter much. This fee included the tuition fee, professional development fee, examination fee and sports and amenities fee. I have always paid the fee on time through the net banking.

Campus life Located on the banks of river Ganga, it is lush green campus of more than 80 acres. The campus is surrounded by mango gardens and trees. It is situated in the vicinity of the city and can be easily reached by road from the major cities like Delhi (120km), Noida (100km) and Greater Noida (182km). The nearest airport is the New Delhi Airport which is at a distance of 120 km from the campus. There are two academic blocks (A1 and A2) with capacity of 2000 students. There are workshops, labs, library, shopping complexes, cafeteria, faculty accommodation flats and temple inside the campus. Facilities and Utilities like Banking, PCO, Tuck Shop, First Aid Centre, and Photocopy etc. are also present inside the campus. Library had over 2500 books and the reading area of 100 students. My department organizes B plan Competition every year that witness the footfall from the various colleges and universities. People come and interact with each other. Many of them become friends from diverse backgrounds and cherish the moments together.

Admission The minimum eligibility criteria to get admission in B.B.A. was 60% marks in 12th grade. I passed my 12th with commerce background and developed a keen interest in the commerce and business. So I decided to take admission in B.B.A to develop in depth understanding of the business and management. i applied online at the official website of the university. My name appeared in first merit list as I had scored 95% marks in 12th grade. I went for the interview to the campus and got selected in the interview. Within 2 days, I got my provisional admission letter. Finally I paid the fee that confirmed my admission.

Faculty All the faculty members are well qualified with 7-8 years of teaching experience. There were 7 faculty members. All were very kind to the students. They made teaching and learning a fun exec ice and believed in two way interaction rather than just delivering the one-way lecture. They used innovative method to teach us through PowerPoint presentations, case studies, illustrations etc. They also imparted us the general knowledge in addition to the course knowledge.
