Walking down memory lane, thinking about my old college days sends a nostalgic feeling down my spine. Lecturers, classes, friends, canteen. SJIM taught me to find a balance between my studies and social life. No matter whether we win the competition or not, it taught me that participation is very important. My Alma Mater nurtured me into a true human being. And I am proud of it.

It gave me goose bumps to witness the third edition of Quest on 24th September 2016. I fondly recall how three years ago a few of us joined hands and decided to host the first ever inter-collegiate quiz contest at SJIM. It was then called Quizzical. What began as a modest yet competitive battle of 7 colleges has now evolved to an impressive and coveted battle of intellects that has garnered publicity even in the digital and mobile space! It is an overwhelming feeling to watch this event grow by leaps and bounds with each passing year. This is a true demonstration of Josephites putting into practice the college motto of Faith and Toil.

SJIM, the bond beyond blood relation, being a Josephite is not a status; it is a responsibility. Being a Josephite is a symbol of pride, a lesson for life, a journey you will never forget, and most important the friends and memories you made, I am so glad I chose Joseph’s. Being a Josephite, all I know is I can lead my life with no regrets and will learn new things in life without looking back whether I will succeed or not. Prof Suresh Herur always tells there is no harm in trying; all you have to is experience the time you spent and take the learnings from it. As often been said, the youth who loves his ALMA MATER will always ask, not 'What can the ALMA MATER do for me?' But 'What can I do for my ALMA Mater'

If I were to sum up my college experience in one word - ‘Priceless’. I had a great two years learning something new and participating in various events from business to sports. The list goes on and on. My classmates were great. The teachers are superb and caring with a lot of experience. The teachers want their students to succeed and SJCBA (now SJIM) is one of the colleges to have that mentality. There are three important skills that I gained from my two years at college that really helped me progress in my career - being responsible, putting in the hard work and a ton of determination.

Being a Josephite is an emotion. SJIM has played a pivotal role in nurturing and nourishing me as a professional. The quality education and mentoring from the faculty has helped shape my career and the able guidance from the Jesuit Fathers have kept my value system grounded which help me wade through troubled waters even today. Fide et Labore through and through.

“It is difficult to articulate how profoundly my time at the SJCBA/SJIM helped to shape the person I am and the decisions I have made. When I think back about the time I spent at the institute, some of my fondest memories, toughest & group assignments, and most rewarding struggles came from these experiences at the institute, and I know without a doubt that my time at the institute would not have been nearly as fulfilling had I not participated in the MDPs and organizing fests. The education I received was spectacular, and the professors at the institute gave me unique and intense learning experiences in the fields of organizational behavior, marketing, financial & accounting, TPM, organizational theory, design and change, books which I still hold dear and for which I am incredibly grateful. However, I am even more grateful for the critical thinking and problem‐solving skills the institute helped me to develop. Throughout the academic sessions, I was challenged to discover capabilities that I never knew I had. Along with academics, the University focuses on personality development which helped me build a rewarding career. The professors at the institute not only gave me an invaluable education, but they also taught me how to seek out knowledge, learn things for myself, and never settle for less than my best effort."

While finance was my favorite subject for which I developed a great taste for in the institute, what I take away and value most, is the emphasis on business ethics. Executing the codes of ethics and sticking to those values, has kept me going quite successfully over these past 15 years in this increasingly rat-raced investment banking industry. All that I have achieved during these years is because of the Institute and its values imbibed in me.

At the outset I thank SJIM for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts.
Firstly, I'm a proud Josephite, having studied in Josephs’ institutions for 13 years starting from my 5th grade in St Joseph's Indian High School.
The 2 years at SJIM were wonderful in more ways than one. It prepared me for the world outside, gave me the required confidence, knowledge and much more than what one can ask for! I cannot help but reminisce my time as a student at St. Joseph’s Institute of Management. Those were the very years where I was taught and trained to excel in my chosen field of sales, marketing and management studies. What I learnt back in the day still comes to use in my day-to-day work at the office and has enabled me shoulder great many responsibilities. I am grateful and indebted to the passionate faculty who focused not just on theoretical learning but also on the practical applications of concepts making it easy for us to wield our understanding of changing market scenarios, I am also grateful to the wonderful class mates who hold equal stakes in making me a good team player through the interactions we had and some of whom have become friends for life. All in all, my two year stint at SJIM was truly a memorable one.
Wishing the esteemed institution and the students the very best..
Fide et Labore!

"Over the last two decades of working across Fortune 500 companies and start-ups, the values that Joseph's instilled in me are what have carried me through. I will forever be grateful for the values of dedication, ownership, integrity, and striving for the greater good, inculcated through the example and expectation of dedicated staff (who always embodied these values themselves), the academic rigor, and the commitment to extracurricular excellence.
I owe my success and the ability to learn through failures to the discipline and tenacity imparted during my time with the college.
I wish the current batches the very best for their endeavours both professional and personal. May you succeed and bring laurels to the institute through your achievements and example. And remember, there is truly nothing that is outside your grasp if you pursue it with "faith and toil" - the motto of your great institution imbibed with an unfailing wisdom."
