“December 21, 2024, was a memorable day as the Jaipuria Jaipur family warmly welcomed us for an alumni meet, hosted graciously by Mr. Lokesh Vijaywargy. Despite working in different cities, occasions like these bring us together, and many of our batchmates made the effort to reconnect. It felt wonderful to reunite with the 2015-17 batch. It was also a pleasure to learn that our college strength will increase to 360 next year. It's truly inspiring to see Jaipuria Jaipur flourishing and growing! Bye.” By Garima from 2015-17

“It is always great coming back home and that too when you don’t have ample experience on the plate feels overwhelming. The pool of questions was great, you guys were great throughout the process. Just the students being themselves and not asking questions or taking initiatives has always been a hurdle. I believe we can have alumni’s who are into core sales and are recent pass out only, can have a positive impact which will definitely encourage the students to apply for sales/marketing jobs. Otherwise, everything was great, thanks for the inviting and warm hospitality. Looking forward for the pictures, xd.”  By Yashaswini Nishchal 2022-24

I was also very impressed to see the progress the college has made in the seven years since I left. The new facilities and initiatives are truly remarkable and speak volumes about the institution's commitment to growth and providing a quality education. It made me feel proud to be an alumnus. Dr. Lokesh, Hitesh, Sakshi & the entire Alumni Committee did a wonderful job putting the event together. The atmosphere was welcoming and engaging, and the arrangements were excellent. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience, and I'm already looking forward to the next alumni meet. Thank you for making it such a success!” By Vishal Sawlani 2016-18
