Brand-wise, JIS is restricted to West Bengal and a couple of other states. Scope for wider networking, higher awareness levels, and initiatives in outreach for admission diversity and placement performance improvement.
Strengths are a decent strength of students in Pharma, Computer Science and Law. Agriculture is low, but improving. Management, very low, but has a great location in town, so again it could improve.
We did have the first-ever alumni meet at the management campus, thanks to faculty efforts. Ph.D., MBA and BBA alums turned up, one from Bangalore- she works at Google. Annesha Paul by name. We plan to do a meet in Bangalore as well, for Computer Science and maybe other depts.
Also attended a couple of events at Delhi- one by THE WEEK, where JIS University was recognised as one of the top Eastern Universities. A lot of cultural activities took place on campus, and a big induction program for 2025 at an auditorium in the city.
We launched an online certificate course on Interfaith Dialogue, with some prominent speakers. Skill-ex is a good initiative, requiring entrepreneurial ideas to be showcased each Semester by groups of students.
A vibrant student community is an asset, but diversity could be better. Faculty diversity is an issue as well.
