JAGSOM has a unique admission process in which the applicants are assessed by the faculty, alumni, and industry experts. The assessment is based on an innovation potential test followed by personal interaction with the panel. For the first time, the JAGSOM introduced an interaction with the shoulder batch (The students from the current batch of 2020-22). The shoulder batch gets an opportunity to interact with their potential juniors. The final selection at JAGSOM is based on the “value fit” of each candidate.
Addressing the students during the e-inauguration, Dr. Atish Chattopadhyay, Director, JAGSOM said, “If there is a faculty effort and if there is a learner effort and if both join hands together; learners do realize their career aspirations. It does not matter where one starts, but what one achieves going forward is what matters. JAGSOM focusses on nurturing eager learners as professionals for new age roles in new age industries. The Institution believes in admitting rough diamonds and convert them as polished diamonds. JAGSOM’s unique curriculum and pedagogy acts as Learner Potential Multiplier to make learners realize their true potential.”
Driven by its diversity focus, JAGSOM has a unique mix of cohorts which will play an important role in the participants learning experience in the class. The new batch of 2021-23 is a diverse group with 45% women. It has representation from around 20 states across India. The batch has an excellent mix of students from corporate experience in IT, Tourism, and ITES. This mix of experience along with fresh graduates drawn from diverse academic backgrounds, supported by gender and geographical diversity creates an eclectic mix for stimulating peer learning.
Founder of JAGSOM, Mr. Sanjay Padode, greeted students and their parents. In his address to the students, he said, “Inauguration Day signifies the initiation of a learning journey for each learner along with the faculty members. At JAGSOM, the whole teaching and learning is a two-way process where both the learners and the faculty learn from each other. In our institute, our students will be working with the best-in-class faculty, and will also experience the commitment that each faculty brings. We believe in liberating the learners, and what is required from the learners is to be open to the teachers, take the best out of them and work with them for a successful career. JAGSOM has a more difficult task in hand than just to give you your first job and that task will be to make you employable for a lifetime.”
The current batch also has the presence of some unique talented individuals who have passion and interest in Cricket, Taekwondo, Tennis, Basketball, and Volleyball, and excels in extracurricular activities. Some students have won prestigious awards and medals in several International Olympiads.
