Armoured with world class infrastructure and reinforced with eminent faculty, the Jaypee Universities have created a niche for themselves in revolutionising the field of technical education.
Located in Himachal Pradesh (Jaypee University of Information Technology, JUIT), Madhya Pradesh (Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology, JUET) and Uttar Pradesh (Jaypee University, Anoopshahr, JUA), the universities offer undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs in major branches of engineering, creating technocrats who are excelling in different spheres of life.
Talking about increasing the Universities’ reach to a larger number of students, VC of Jaypee University Prof SC Saxena said: “In addition to increased professional counseling of outgoing class XII students in schools, in the first phase of five years starting June 2019, special incentives for wards of Defence/Paramilitary forces are being offered. There will be a reservation of 10 per cent seats for admission in all BTech programmes offered in JUIT, JUET and JUA and special academic fee concession will also be offered.” He further added that education is the most important tool for transformation and empowerment as identified by the founder of Jaiprakash Sewa Sansthan (JSS), Jaiprakash Gaur, who always emphasised that imparting quality education is the best service to the society. The special discount offer is dedicated to further the above cause.
The VC attributes the high ranking of the Jaypee Institutions to the Universities’ key infrastructure and resources including well qualified and experienced faculty, fully equipped labs, well stocked library, separate hostels for boys and girls, good quality food, fully networked campus, facilities for games and associated utilities for student's comfort and providing excellent environment for teaching learning process. “Balanced faculty focus between cutting edge results and class room teaching has paved the way for imparting high quality education. Our faculty is encouraged to undertake research and have their papers published in highly indexed and cited international journals. It is important to note that to offer quality education, all Jaypee Universities have teacher student ratio much better than the AICTE norms of 1:20,” adds Saxena.
The Jaypee Universities have also made sure to open doors to global exposure for its students by way of exchange programmes and memorandum of understanding (MoUs) with international universities. The Universities also organise international conferences, talks, national workshops with delegates from around the world. Prof Carsten Mueller of Germany is a visiting faculty at the Guna University. Over the years, Jaypee Institutions have built a strong network with leading companies for recruiting their engineering graduates. Saxena informs that the Placement Cell of the Universities located at the Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT) Noida, centrally handles campus placement of the graduating students of all the campuses. “Some of the prominent companies visiting Jaypee Universities are Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon Web Service, SAP Labs, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, Ola Cab, Gemalto, FICO, XL Caltin, Samsung R&D, ST Microelectronics, Grofers, The Smart Cube, Ericsson, Cognizent, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies, among many others.” He claimed that the placement percentage of eligible students touches up to 100 per cent. “In 2018, the maximum package received by students was Rs 39.12 lakh and the average and the highest packages have seen an upward trend in the last three years,” he said.
