Director’s Message
Jaipuria Noida is ready to hone you into your best self
At Jaipuria Noida, we believe in the power of transformation; we are not interested in just any student. We are looking for those selected few who have a desire to learn, who are ready to absorb all they can from our dedicated faculty and to become agents of change. We are ready to transform the students from what they are to what they can be.
This transformation involves acquiring a skill set that is updated, hands-on and tech-savvy. Through the entire process, our team in Noida works in conjunction with the students, developing a relationship that continues long after the students graduates. This relationship involves mentoring, identifying their strengths and weakness and enabling the student to reach their full potential.

Industry Interface
An Insight on Consumer Behaviour
As a part of Jaipuria’s strong industry interface programme, Mr. Vishal Khanna, Marketing Manager at Reliance Infocom, shared his expertise on consumer behaviour with students and faculty at the Jaipuria Noida campus. Mr. Khanna discussed how a consumer decides on the product, how he searches for suppliers, seeks proposals, selects and finally, does post-purchase evaluation through real life situations and case studies.
“Consumer behaviour differs from department to department within the same organisation. There are a number of reasons for this, like difference in perceptions of departments, and cost reduction versus increasing efficiency. Role of individuals also has a important part to play in consumer behaviour.”
Mr. Khanna also took the aspiring managers of Jaipuria Noida through the process of the creation and implementation of a ‘Brand Recall Strategy.’
“I feel absolutely in touch with the industry now,” said Mohammed of the 2011-13 batch of Jaipuria Noida. With two of their peers placed with Reliance Infocom for summer internship, students of Jaipuria Noida feel that this is just the beginning of a long-term relationship between Jaipuria Noida and Reliance Infocom.
