The QILT surveys are Australia’s largest government-sponsored learning and teaching surveys. By bringing together data from all Australian institutions concerning students’ experiences and graduate career outcomes, the information gained from these surveys assists students in making informed decisions about their higher education options. Students may compare schools based on the findings of hundreds of QILT questionnaires filled out by current and recent students and alumni. The polls take into account a variety of factors, including satisfaction with face-to-face conversations, computer access, graduation incomes, and employment outcomes. The 2021 Graduate Outcomes Survey is a study of recent graduates four to six months after the completion of their studies.

Commenting on these rankings, Mr. Nitish Jain, President of SP Jain Global, said—” We are delighted to have done well across all parameters. Many factors are used in determining these rankings. For us, graduate success is key. The impact of SP Jain’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program is reflected through the success of our many alumni who are working at top organisations literally all around the world.”

In 2021, the school reported that over 80% of its students who stayed back in Australia upon completing their BBA secured full-time roles at average starting salaries of AUD 55,000. Students also received offers from companies based in the US, Dubai, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Colombia.

“Being a student-centric institution of higher learning, SP Jain focuses on all three parameters – Input (admissions), Processes (Curriculum) and Output (placement). Clearly, the placement of our students and the resounding success of our alumni aligns quite well with what we’ve seen from this recent 2021 QILT graduate outcomes survey. Every effort is taken by the team at SP Jain to ensure that no stone is unturned with a primary objective on student success and well-being and in transforming them to become responsible citizens,” shared Dr Vaidyanathan (Vaidy) Jayaraman, Dean of the School’s UG Programs & Professor of Supply Chain Operations, Data Sciences & Analytics.

SP Jain Global’s BBA is a 4-year multi-city program where students live, study and work in three of the world’s leading business capitals. They can spend year 1 in Singapore or Mumbai, year 2 in Dubai, and years 3 and 4 in Australia. At each campus location, students get opportunities to pursue projects, out-of-class activities, and internships that make them very relevant and attractive to leading companies in Australia and worldwide.

He remembered Mahatma Gandhi’s ‘Nai Talim’ started in Wardha in 1937 that stressed on the need to make the native language as the necessary mandate in schools, along with free compulsory education to students. He further glorified the linguistic diversity of the country and how it symbolises our strength and cultural unity.

He recalled the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, how he gave importance to all languages and people’s sensitivity to their native language and also how he equated mother tongue with Swaraj. The vice president also asserted on the fact that Indian languages played a crucial part in bridging the gap between overseas Indians and motherland India.

He also recommended universities’ language departments to support and preserve the thread of linguistic unity and improve dialogue between Indian languages and universities’ language departments.

India has far fewer researchers than China and the US, says a recent report by Think-tank Brookings India. India has 216.2 researchers per one million inhabitants, against 1,200 in China, 4,300 in the US, and 7,100 in South Korea, according to the report. Research productivity of Indian scholars is low and the workshop by BMU and INDAM aims to provide next generation researchers and scholars with the tools to develop world-class research and publish in top journals, in order to maximise their exposure on a global scale.

The workshop was attended by over 100 PhD scholars and other academics. Parallely, a poster competition initiated by BMU, that invited students to share their research proposals in this succinct manner, came to a close with the winner being announced.

Dr. Vishal Talwar, Dean of School Management, BML Munjal University, said, “ A deeper research orientation is key for the progress of our country as a high density of researchers have a direct benefit on industries and thus the economy. With this, we firmly believe that the world of tomorrow will be driven by knowledge to discover creative solutions.”

During his keynote speech on Abduction and Empirical Exploration in Management Research, Prof Peter A. Bamberger, Editor-in-Chief of Academy of Management Discoveries, Head of the Organizational Behavior Department, Tel Aviv University; & Research Director, Smithers Institute, ILR School, Cornell University, said, “Empirical exploration, the approach to research that we publish in our journal, is not only critical to the future of management scholarship, it is ideal for Indian scholars.  There are hundreds of uniquely Indian organizational phenomena waiting to be discovered that could have a profound impact on the field of management. My hope is that through workshops such as the one here at BMU, we can boost the research competencies of Indian scholars and help them leverage the unique research opportunities available to them.”

Dr. Payal Kumar, Professor and Chair (HR/OB), BML Munjal University “We are privileged to be hosting this research workshop with INDAM, an affiliate of the Academy of Management (USA), that is the best in the field of management research and education. This initiative is yet another milestone in our focus to bring the best of management education in India that helps shape the leaders of tomorrow.”

All tasks will have to be themed on ‘Dare to Leap’, with integration of realme brand/products in all of the assigned tasks. They will also have to conduct and promote offline events/activities in the campus. Further, they will be needed to promote the created content online.

Mr. Madhav Sheth, CEO – realme said, “India is a land of enormous talent. We have seen talented individuals of virtually every field originating from the country who have not only proven their mettle in India, but also across the globe. However, a majority of time this talent doesn’t receive the right exposure. This sheer unavailability of a platform makes us lose a fair share of people who could’ve achieved a lot more had they been supported at the right time. With Campus Stars Program, our aim is to channelize our youth towards creative fields and give high-potential talent a national exposure right in its formative years.”
