"During the course of my interaction with the students at SP Jain as a panelist in Paricharcha, I was very happy to see their awareness & passion. The questions raised by them made the interactions lively and meaningful. I think they will make good leaders in their chosen fields and I wish them all the best for their future"

"SPJIMR's programs have a strong - and as I have found - highly credible need-orientation. From identifying industry needs that require to be plugged through appropriate programs, to engaging with industry representatives in order to fine-tune curricula, this attitude permeates the institute's view of the present and the future. Involving the student body in this thinking only encourages budding managerial talent to keep in mind that learning needs to move beyond textbooks, to be always contemporary, relevant and ready to be applied in real-life. I find this approach very progressive and sensitive to the pace and reality of our times."

"The PGDSM MIT program is one of very few programs in the country that addresses a significant white space in the IT industry - the combination of IT skills with sharp business acumen. This is a critical combination since IT is certain to be an integral part of tomorrow's products - and it is imperative that we develop young talent which can straddle the development of business and IT strategies both. Systems MBA programs need to cater to the development of a business mindset as well as mould the development of students as IT practitioners - the PGDSM MIT course addresses this through a solid mix of functional and IT courses - and the collaboration with Virginia Tech adds the global perspective. During my interactions with students and alumni (who work for us) of this course, I have noted a high level of energy and drive, solid understanding of business and IT fundamentals and the critical ability to integrate the two."
