Student Life at JAGSOM

JAGSOM believes in the principle that a sound mind and fit body is essential for any management graduate to survive a long strenuous career. Students are encouraged to have a vibrant and engaging schedule during their two years on campus. Students are involved in a variety of extracurricular and cocurricular activities. The diverse clubs, events and competitions provide an opportunity to students to develop and showcase their talent.

Effective Execution (EE)

The Effective Execution intervention aims at enhancing the ability of students to address the challenges of collaboration, conflict resolution, timely and cost-effective execution of critical activities to achieve specific milestones in institution building activities.

The course focuses on developing execution skills of management students by focusing on ‘Learning by Doing’ as managers and future leaders. Students are expected to understand the role and responsibility of a manager, cognitive ambidexterity of an administrator and agile leadership style of an effective leader while facing the ambiguity of the VUCA world.

Each first-year student compulsorily becomes the part of one committee. The student is empowered to take a lead or a collaborative role to envision the committee’s developmental goals, strategic goals, and streamline routine activities.

Personality Enhancement Program (PEP)

Since its inception, the Personality Enhancement Program has been an impactful catalyst in promoting fitness as one of the primary goals for every student. We are perhaps the only institute to have Personality Enhancement Program (PEP), a life-skill and lifestyle oriented program integrated into the curriculum as a credited course. This deals with the honing of the various aspects of Holistic Personality.

The PEP is conducted in two tracks, Life skills and Lifestyle

Social Immersion Program (SIP)

Social Immersion Program (SIP), a unique initiative that sensitizes students to the needs of the community and enables them to identify their social problems through research. Students learn to design solutions for social problems through a Techno Economic Viability (TEV) study, thereby enabling sustainable, socially positive and measurable impact.

The School has tied up with many NGOs to facilitate the immersion component of the program. Some of the NGOs we partner with are World Vision India, Action Aid, Art of Living (AOL), Anti-Pollution Drive, Help Age India, Biocon Foundation, CARE India, CRY, Bachpan Bachao Andolan.

JAGSOM has selected 3 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to focus on

Kanyathon – An Experential Program for Social Impact

Kanyathon is a student-driven Annual Charity Marathon that raises funds to uplift the lives of the girl child and for women empowerment in order to make social impact and impact UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 1 ‘No Poverty’ and SDG 5 ‘Gender Equality’).

Kanyathon has been generating surplus funds every year since its inception. The funds have been deployed towards COVID relief, towards development of adopted villages in Kolar and towards the Kanyathon Shiksha Kendra.

This year, in spite of the pandemic, Kanyathon generated surplus funds of INR 30 lakhs through virtual runs and E-gaming events.

The funds from the sales proceeds have improved the living conditions of the girl child of the villages in India and in the JAGSOM adopted villages in Kolar under the Indian government’s Unnat Bharat Abigyan scheme. The Kanyathon Kolar project managed by our partner NGO, Child Rights and You (CRY), aided by our students, monitor, protect and promote child rights with strategic activities at the child, family, community and government systems level.
