When current Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management (VJIM) student Praneeta earned her B.Tech IT (Information Technology) degree, she felt she wasn’t quite prepared to put a pause on her college career for good.
Praneeta is now a final-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) student with majors in Marketing at VJIM deepening her knowledge of the industry, gaining relevant experience with expert mentors, and filling the void between her experience as a solution designer to becoming sales personnel at Schindler India.
“Since it was my choice to pursue PGDM after engineering and working at Tech Mahindra, I wanted to be able to do complete justice to the time invested in this course. VJIM’s faculty members have encouraged and helped me get over my fears, move out of my comfort zone, and stretch beyond the obvious for my personal career growth,” said Praneeta.
This past placement period, Praneeta, just as 30 other students, made her attempt at the Schindler’s interview process: one, a group discussion round, the other, a personal interview with Schindler’s branch manager and the head of HR. She also outshined the final video-conference interview round and bagged a position as a NI sales representative at Schindler India.
Praneeta, a former B.Tech student and a solution designer at Tech Mahindra, wasn’t satisfied with her career graph, and that’s how she went on to study marketing at VJIM, and her discipline in a relatively new industry blossomed. At VJIM, she continued to explore what fascinated her about her specialization. In no time she shifted her gears when she enrolled for the course with an eagerness to learn more. It was at VJIM where she could absorb knowledge, nurture her interests, and enhance her ability to synthesize information from a range of sources.
She adds, “Things were just moving in the right direction for me, and I really got into it. I recall conversations with my professors and fellow-mates on critical subjects and receiving unrivalled suggestions and pieces of guidance in exchange. To precisely mention, Prof. Yugandhar has played a pivotal role in guiding me to become who I am today.”
Upon clearing her Master’s, Praneeta knows she will be able to apply her skills and knowledge to the chosen career choice. She has gained insight into the world of marketing & sales not only through the course material but also from the knowledge the faculty members shared in conversations about certain subjects. “My journey is not a result of my greater academic aptitude or intellect, but rather an education program intended to bring dreams to life,” adds Praneeta.
