76% Alumni secured their first career progression within two years; nearly half reached leadership roles in a decade: Jaipuria’s Alumni Tracer Study

Management education in India has long been evaluated through a remarkably narrow lens: placement season. Every year, institutions compete on salary packages, recruiter logos, and placement percentages. While these metrics matter, they capture only a single moment in a professional journey. But the more important question often remains unasked: what happens five, ten, or fifteen years after graduation?

This is exactly where the conversation around management education needs to evolve, and where Jaipuria Institute of Management is helping shift the focus from first jobs to long-term career outcomes.

A recent Alumni Tracer Study conducted across the Jaipuria network reflects this broader perspective. The study found that 76.1% of alumni achieved their first significant career progression within two years of graduation, while nearly half of those with over a decade of professional experience have advanced into senior leadership positions such as General Manager and Vice President. The findings highlight an important reality: management education creates value not only through graduates’ first career opportunities, but also through the long-term growth and success they achieve.

That naturally raises another question: what enables long-term professional growth? Increasingly, the answer lies in how institutions prepare students not just for recruitment, but for leadership, adaptability, and continuous learning.

Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur offers a particularly strong example of how this long-term development philosophy is translated into the student experience. As one of only two management institutions in Rajasthan to hold both AACSB accreditation and a NIRF ranking, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur has developed an ecosystem where academic rigour, industry engagement, leadership development, and career readiness come together in a cohesive learning experience.

For students and families across Rajasthan, this creates an opportunity to access nationally benchmarked management education and global career pathways while studying in Jaipur itself.

Beyond rankings and accreditations, the impact of this ecosystem becomes most visible in the journeys of current students. Khushi Soni from the 2024–26 batch, now with Deloitte, attributes her smooth transition into corporate life to consistent exposure to industry interactions, live projects, and experiential learning during the PGDM programme. Similarly, Vedansh Rathi from the same cohort has begun his international career with Landmark Group in Dubai, reflecting the widening global opportunities opening up for graduates from Jaipur.

These individual journeys are part of a much larger pattern visible across the institute’s alumni network. Graduates from Jaipuria Jaipur today occupy leadership positions in globally respected organisations. Vijay Sadhanani serves as Assistant Vice President at HSBC, Gunjan Jain is Vice President at BlackRock, Apurv Sogani is Assistant Vice President at Citibank, and Prerna Bhadani has progressed to Associate Director at UBS, demonstrating the long-term career progression highlighted by the tracer study.

The consistency of these outcomes is not accidental; it reflects the educational philosophy that underpins the institute’s approach. Research-led teaching, leadership initiatives, industry collaborations, and international partnerships expose students to diverse perspectives and real-world business challenges. The institute’s Leadership Lab helps students engage with leadership lessons rooted in actual organisational contexts, while the 4D Reset Journal encourages self-awareness, resilience, adaptability, and reflective thinking—capabilities that are becoming increasingly valuable in modern workplaces.

While these initiatives focus on long-term capability building, they also translate into strong industry confidence at the point of hiring. Recruiters span consulting, financial services, manufacturing, consumer goods, energy, and media, with organisations such as Deloitte, BlackRock, Kotak Mahindra Bank, ICICI Bank, Aditya Birla Capital, Colgate-Palmolive, TVS Motor Company, Jio-bp, The Times of India, and JK Cement continuing to recruit from Jaipuria campuses.

Together, these strengths translate into measurable outcomes. The graduating batch of 2026 across Jaipuria’s campuses reported a highest package of ₹24.11 lakh per annum. Equally important, however, is the institute’s emphasis on building careers that continue to grow well beyond the first placement.

For many students in Rajasthan, that combination of strong placement opportunities, leadership-focused development, and long-term career progression is increasingly becoming an important factor in choosing a management institution.

As nearly 300 graduates prepare to embark on their professional journeys after the recent convocation at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur, the occasion highlighted that the true impact of management education extends far beyond a graduate’s first career opportunity. Its true measure lies in a journey that begins in Jaipur’s classrooms and unfolds over years of professional growth, taking graduates from Rajasthan to leadership roles across India and around the world.
