"I have found the students in the PGDSM MIT program at SP Jain eager to learn and quick in studies. Their enthusiasm for learning and the ability to comprehend is readily evident in the question they ask, as well as answer. The dual degree requirement uniquely qualifies program graduates in both the managerial and technical aspects of IT. From an industry perspective, the focus on a dual education translates into employees whose expertise spans complementary domains and whose viability horizon extends beyond the norm"

"Technology when used to create business and social value can be a competitive weapon that spurs growth and innovation. In the PGDSM MIT program we emphasize on technology as a tool that is used to support business decision making, solve business problems, and promote innovation. Our graduates, therefore, have a keen understanding of how to use technology in organizations to create value and support decision making." The PGDSM MIT program in collaboration with SPJIMR is clearly the most successful graduate program offered by any comprehensive US university in India. When I taught PGDSM MIT students in SP Jain in October 2007, I found them to be very competent academically; they had strong communication skills and were keenly aware of global business issues"

"The Virginia Tech degree is known and valued in virtually every sector of the American technology arena and we intend to keep that reputation. Consequently our admission standards are very high. As director of the master's degree program I review, and admit or decline, on every applicant for this degree program in the U.S. and in India. In my judgment the students in cohort IV ranked well above the average of what is already a very selective pool of applicants. My judgment was confirmed when I taught these students. They were, without exception; bright, articulate, motivated and extraordinarily well prepared."
