Orientation 2025: Day One - Reliving the Magic with the New Batch

📅 Date: June 30, 2025

🎯 Theme: Resilience Through Learning

Dear Alumni,

You know that feeling — the one you had when you first stepped onto campus, unsure whether the butterflies in your stomach were from excitement, nervousness, or just the canteen samosas? Well, on June 30th, I got to witness that exact blend of emotions in the eyes of the new PGDM Batch of 2025–2027. And let me tell you — it was like watching our own memories walk into the future.

Day One of our Orientation and Induction Program began with a warm welcome, cheerful registration desks, and helpful student volunteers guiding freshers and their parents around the campus — the same corridors many of us once got lost in! The excitement in the air was infectious.

Parents were invited to an Open House session, where our Director, Dr. Kavita Pathak, spoke passionately about Jaipuria’s commitment to holistic development and leadership with purpose. Her words truly captured what makes our alma mater special.

Post lunch, the students had their own interaction session. And yes — the same auditorium where you may have once nervously introduced yourself was again alive with fresh voices. They heard from our Dean Academics, Dean Student Affairs, and Dean Research — each offering a glimpse into the journey ahead. And as I sat there, I couldn’t help but smile — it felt like a full-circle moment.

We wrapped the day with introductions to the faculty and staff, planting the first seeds of trust and connection. All through the day, I kept seeing flashes of our own first day — the unknowns, the energy, and the silent promises we made to ourselves.

🎙️ One student said, “The welcome was so warm — it already feels like home.” And I thought, yes, that’s exactly what Jaipuria does — it grows on you, and stays with you.

Looking forward to more stories as this new batch begins their journey — and maybe, a few more moments of déjà vu for all of us.
