In today's world almost everything that you can think of is customized. Your car, home, electronics, furnishings and the list goes on. One thing which is so imperative has been ignored. Yes I am taking about Business Education. SP Jain is one step forward in taking this initiative through its super specialization program which has been designed in a way to provide the students a launch pad for the corporate world. Each year courses are added which are based on scrupulous market research and corporate interaction, the benefits on which have already been seen by the passing out students. |

S P Jain's experience has been truly rewarding. When I was contemplating
pursuing an MBA, I had several options and S P Jain offered me a unique
value proposition - the twin city model. I wondered whether this was
just a ploy from another top notch b-school from India to expand into
different geographies for monetary reasons (not that it was).I was
proven wrong during the 3rd week of my MBA when our marketing course
started. The examples used in our class discussions were mostly localized,
but the thoughts were truly global. It really forced us to think how
to do business in different markets. Before joining the program I
was indeed finicky about UAE. Now, I can assertively say my stint
at Dubai and Singapore has certainly added value to me.Another great
opportunity that came our way was a consulting engagement that we
did for a US based IT firm. They were evaluating if UAE's banking
sector offered any scope to sell products/services. As a part of the
engagement we did a holistic market research and analysis of technology
investments in UAE's banking sector and came up with our recommendations.
It was immensely challenging since we had to do a lot of primary research
that required interaction with UAE based banks. I'm confident that
the learning's that I've gained through this MBA program will be of
immense help as I return to my professional life after my rendezvous
with management education. It was a truly global MBA!If S P Jain was
listed, I would surely put my money on them, coz they take care of
all stake holders seriously. This is by far the best investment that
I've made till date! |

The Global MBA program was a truly global experience giving us a holistic
perspective of two very unique cultures - Dubai and Singapore, and
helped us understand the business perspectives in a mature market
like Singapore and a developing market like the GCC. The program gave
us a platform to polish our knowledge and skills and prepared us for
the international markets and helped us transform into truly global
managers. |

Rajan Rastogi
Analyst, Investment Banking
Abu Dhabi Investment Company - Abu Dhabi, UAE
S P Jain is the place for a global MBA because we get training in
two great cities, two great cultures - one a rising economy and the
second a matured one - all this makes you strong enough for the professional
world. We experienced global teaching - professors from India (even
IIMs), USA, Dubai, Singapore and Pakistan. My one-year investment
banking specialization at S P Jain was intense, fun-filled and motivating,
all at one time. It really taught me what group dynamics and team-based
learning is. S P Jain's MBA has polished me and taught me what the
CA degree was not able to do. |

"After a successful career
stint of five years with Citibank and HSBC, I chose S P Jain's one
year program primarily looking for value addition at a critical juncture
of my professional life. The GMBA program gave me an accelerated track

"Confronted with
the onerous task of shifting careers from mainstream Information Technology
to Finance, I was pretty much flummoxed with the kind of new thoughts
and ideas I had to face everyday. However with the excellent curriculum
that S P Jain, Dubai-Singapore offers, along with the opportunities
to work in teams, growth in stature is just a by-product. S P Jain
has not only given me the self-belief to prove myself on the world
stage but also a broader perspective to business and towards life
in the wider sense." |

"My year at S P Jain was one of the most enriching experiences
of my life. With a great CAT score in tow I was contemplating what
school would be the right choice for me as a launch pad for my career
as a Wealth Manager. S P Jain seemed the perfect fit , not only
did it provide a unique focus on my chosen career path but also
the twin city model seemed really attractive as well. The program
provided me with an enriching opportunity to experience and respects
the differences between two contrasting cultures and has taught
me to be a true Global Manager.
The faculty and course content is what I really think set S P Jain
apart from the other MBA programs. Experienced faculty from all
over the world, visiting wisdom and a great in house team helped
us get the most out of this one year. The program comprised of group
works, individual assignments, quizzes and tests that kept us on
our toes and also encouraged an in-depth study of local markets
and encouraged us to go out and interact with people from the industry
in both Dubai and Singapore.Our SGP and Dissertation projects provided
us a chance to study our areas of interest in depth and obtain a
thorough understanding of the same under the expert guidance of
our experienced and knowledgeable Dean faculty and even local industry
veterans. Though challenging and tedious, in retrospect it was one
of the best experiences of the program. Being a fresher I was very
vary of how much I would benefit from a one year MBA program but
my worries were allayed with the encouragement and efforts of faculty
and my fellow batch mates and soon I was at par with the others.Before
we knew it, it was time for Placements. Being on the committee and
having seen how well the whole process had been handled and the
efforts put in by our coordinator I was confident that all of us
would land ourselves with dream profiles and that is exactly what
happened.At the end of the program with a dream role in hand I can
confidently say that this is a perfect program for people who are
focused about Wealth Management and Private Banking. I graduated
- placed, happy, confident and wiser with fond memories and loads
of new friends- truly trained to be a Global Manager! As a financial
planner i defiantly endorse the program and advice you to invest
this one year of your life at S P Jain. |

"The two city model is
a truly unique concept and this is looked upon in good light by most
recruiters given the global nature of today's business environment.
Apart from great faculty taking us through the course materials it
was enriching to understand the cultural nuances of both cities which
percolate to business relationships as well. The one year program
was extremely hectic but my batch mates made it an extremely enjoyable
experience, I can safely say that I have made 'friends for life' during
this program." |
