JIM Edge (e-Magazine), Vol. 1, 2013

Q: What is your vision for JIM?

A: We aspire to imbibe quality educa-

tion in our students with a systemat-

ically designed curriculum to focus

on their overall development. As we

believe that the gap between indus-

try requirements and graduates can

only be bridged through holistic ef-

forts which our results speak over

the past decades.

Q: In the current scenario of industry

how does a student prepare him-

self for a stable career?

A: First and foremost a student needs

to identify his strengths, weakness-

es and skills. Secondly, he/she must

be aware of the current industry

trends to identify the best suited

industry. There is no industry today

where jobs are not available, only the

need is to prepare accordingly. One

must also narrow down to the func-

tional areas best suited according to

their skills. Last but not the least a

person must have the passion to dedi-

cate oneself for two years completely

for their requisite development and

refraining from shortcuts in life.

Q: Which course is better MBA or PGDM?

A: Both the courses are good depending

upon the perspective from which it is

being carried. Although MBA gets an

edge over PGDM as far as a candidate’s

pursuit for higher education (such as

PhD), or for applying for most of the

govt. jobs is concerned as it is a univer-

sity affiliated program duly recognized

by UGC & AICTE, moreover the fees

charged for MBA is less than that

charged for a PGDM course.

Q: What is JIM’s USP as a B-School?

A: Our MBA is a regular full time 2 years’

program which is duly affiliated to

UPTU & AICTE approved. We offer

dual specialisation in Fin/Mkt/HR/IT/

IB along with industry specialisation in

Hospitality Mgt./ Rural/Retail/Project

Mgt/Insurance which brings it at par

with any PGDM course. JIM had been

ranked as 1st amongst B-schools in

Delhi NCR by Time Research 2012. We

have a staunch team with rich intellec-

tual capital and special focus on Com-

munication & Employability helps to

develop our students professionally

for the industry.

Social security in terms of Wom-

en Security is a hot issue in today’s

world. Be it our India or abroad, women

security is getting worst day by day.

Women are no doubt considered as

ideologies and the world of women is

universal everywhere. In the past and in

the present they have been subordinat-

ed to men.

Certain functionaries of the soci-

ety suggest distributing knives to women

for “enhancing their personal security”

in the backdrop of recent attacks

against women. Well wishers say that

women should prefer a Rampuri (knife)

in their purse rather than a lipstick.

Is violence against women a re-

action to women’s increased presence

in politics and their economic empow-

erment, can be a question to the world.

Answer to this question, can be that vio-

lence against women could be a form

of male insecurity, a backlash because

of being unable to come to terms with

the changed role of women in politics

and economy. There could be ‘worry’

among men about institutions that were

the basis of society such as the family.

Discussing a book titled The End

of Women: And the Rise of Women by

Hanna Rosin, Ms. Rosin focused “a new

patriarchy, where women are dominat-

ing”. The book, which said that women

were surpassing men, had been much

debated in the U.S., where women

held half the jobs and were higher

in number in colleges and schools.

The book highlights “plastic wom-

en” and “cardboard men”, mean-

ing that women were flexible and

adapt to new jobs at home and

outside versus men who were less

flexible. Women lived longer than

men, went to college, and worked

better than men who were redun-

dant for reproduction. However,

one could not be led into thinking

that one was moving towards “a

feminist utopia”. Although the writ-

er sounded like a radical feminist,

there was ambiguity in the book.

For instance, single mothers in the

U.S. were more independent and

experienced less domestic vio-

lence but they bore the double

burden of managing home and

career. In reply to another query,

she said she did not agree with

viewing the issue as men versus

women. It was much more com-

plex than a battle of the genders.

However, women empow-

erment now is not absolutely ren-

dering positive social security to-

wards the women. All that is wom-

en need to securitize themselves is

through maintaining their dignity

and showing the notorious world

that ‘YES’, we have the power to

rise.

A group discussion (GD) involves speaking before a group of people where an individual has to put in some aspect of public speaking. The GD preparation begins with the ability to speak fluently in front of others. For GD one requires to increase the knowledge and enrich the content. For group speaking, start reading a book or an editorial for around 15 minutes daily; have friendly discussions with a group; speaking in a group without being distracted by others, with relevant points.

The next aspect is the content. To enrich it one should pick up around ten current affairs (events in the past

months) and start preparing on selected topics.

Tips for Group discussion: behaviour, as well as, speaking in a concise manner is very important; address every-one in the group. Tips for successful GD are following: -

Organize thought process on the basis of: Political, Eco-nomic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental facts.

Interpret in various ways on the topic. Do not speak for long: Speak for maximum one to two

minutes and stop. Do not stop abruptly or keep talking. Look at someone

who appears receptive to your ideas. Listen carefully to others. Speak on a familiar topic and

take the discussion forward; generate new ideas. Do not make it a one to one discussion: encourage other

members to participate while maintaining eye contact. Utilize your leadership skills: by driving discussion in a

comfortable direction. Try to put contrary view if it goes in one direction. Do not say something when not sure. Consensus at the end: it is necessary to conclude it in a

particular direction. Last but not the least, confidence level with decent communi-cation skills helps in cracking the GD.
