How JKLU's BBA Programme Builds the Foundation of a Thriving Career
NewsVoir Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 4: With hundreds of undergraduate programmes to choose from, it is quite common for a Class 12 student to feel nervous about making the right choice -- because that one decision, about which programme to pursue, could shape their life for years to come. For students not inclined towards conventional paths like engineering or medicine, a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) offers a dynamic and future-ready alternative. But just as choosing the right programme is important, selecting the right institution is an equally significant decision. Jaipur's JK Lakshmipat University (JKLU) stands out with its future-focused BBA programmes that not only equip students with the skills and experiences necessary for success in the evolving global job market but also train and support them to embark on an entrepreneurial journey. Future-Ready Curriculum Aligned with Industry Needs In an era where artificial intelligence and automation are transforming industries, the demand for skilled business leaders remains robust. Recognising this, JKLU has meticulously crafted its BBA curriculum to integrate emerging technologies and multidisciplinary approaches, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of Industry 5.0. According to Dr. Ashwini Sharma, Acting Director of the Institute of Management at JKLU, "The curricula of our BBA programmes are highly distinctive and have been meticulously designed to meet the current as well as future industry needs. With Industry 5.0 resetting the norms of production and consumption, we take special care to prepare students to become active collaborators in achieving the shared goal of building a better and sustainable world." Students at JKLU can specialise in areas such as Entrepreneurship; Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI); Financial Technologies (Fintech); Business Analytics; and Marketing. This flexibility allows them to tailor their education to their interests and the demands of the market. Emphasis on Critical Thinking and Communication Skills A significant concern in higher education today is to equip graduates with essential soft skills. As Deloitte's 2025 Human Capital Trends Report underlines, "As AI takes over more tasks, workers will be increasingly asked to invest in work that requires critical thinking, innovation, collaboration and meaningful human interaction." As per World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, analytical thinking remains the most sought- after core skill, followed by resilience, flexibility and agility, along with leadership and social influence. Taking cognisance of the need to equip graduates with 21st century skills, JKLU has integrated critical thinking and communication skills into its BBA programmes. Through case studies, group discussions, and presentations, students are encouraged to think analytically and express their ideas effectively. This approach not only enhances their academic performance but also prepares them for leadership roles in their careers. Leveraging the Legacy of JK Group With a legacy spanning over 140 years, the JK Group has established itself as a prominent industrial conglomerate in India. This rich heritage provides JKLU students with unparalleled industry connections and networking opportunities. The university's affiliation with the JK Group facilitates internships, mentorships, and exposure to real-world business scenarios, bridging the gap between academic learning and industry practices. World-Class Faculty and Vibrant Campus Life At JKLU, students benefit from a world-class faculty comprising experienced academicians and industry professionals who bring practical insights into the classroom. With the university's wide range of clubs, events, and cultural activities infusing dynamism into its campus life, each student can experience what it means to have opportunities for holistic development. Internship Opportunities and Global Exposure Experiential learning is a cornerstone of JKLU's educational philosophy. The university has established strong ties with leading organisations, providing students with opportunities for internships that offer hands-on experience in their chosen fields. Additionally, JKLU's global exposure initiatives, including opportunities to study for a semester at Hanyang University in South Korea and St. Cloud State University in the USA, equip students with a global perspective, enhancing their employability in an interconnected world. Robust Placement Support JKLU's commitment to student success extends beyond academics. The university's Office of Corporate Relations & Placements works proactively to connect students with potential employers, offering career counseling, resume building, and interview preparation services. The strong industry ties and the university's reputation ensure that graduates have access to a wide array of career opportunities. With a future-ready curriculum, emphasis on 21st century skills, industry affiliations, and robust placement support systems, JKLU stands as a beacon for students aspiring to make a mark in the world.

2 JKLU Students Among 1,272 Selected Worldwide for Google Summer of Code 2025
NewsVoir Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], May 27: Two students from Jaipur's JK Lakshmipat University (JKLU) have accomplished what thousands around the world aspire to each year. Karan Kumawat and Divyanshu Gautam, (CSE) students from the batch of 2022 at the Institute of Engineering and Technology, JKLU, have been selected for the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025 - one of the world's most competitive and prestigious global, online programmes focused on bringing new contributors into open-source software development. This year, GSoC received 23,559 proposals from over 15,240 applicants across 130 countries. From this large pool of applicants, only 1,272 contributors were chosen to work with leading open-source organisations under the mentorship of seasoned developers and industry experts. Congratulating Karan and Divyanshu on their selection to the prestigious global online mentorship programme, Professor Alka Mahajan, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, JKLU, said, "By sharing their knowledge with the wider world, the global open-source community has contributed immensely to innovation and growth. I am very pleased to know that our brilliant students will be joining this exclusive global community and contributing to some of the significant open-source software development projects selected by Google this year. Their journey exemplifies the growing presence of Indian talent in open-source innovation--and the power of education that bridges knowledge and application." Open Source, Global Impact Over the next 12+ weeks, Karan and Divyanshu will collaborate remotely with global mentors, contributing code to open-source projects. "The GSoC 2025 programme has some flexibility in the schedule for projects. The length of time allowed to complete a project can range from 10 weeks to 22 weeks for medium and large projects with the standard length of 12 weeks. Small projects can range from 8 to 12 weeks," Google said in a blog post. "GSoC Contributors and their mentors can decide together if a project should be extended to end a couple of weeks or so later," Google added. The stipend amount that each would receive from Google could go up to USD 3,000 (approximately Rs. 256,000). But beyond the financial support, the programme offers something even more transformative: the chance to work at the intersection of innovation and impact--solving real-world challenges, contributing to widely used technologies, and learning from some of the best minds in the global tech community. Projects with Purpose Karan's project, "Chainvoice: Enhancing Decentralised Invoicing with Privacy, Automation, and Multi-Token Support," sits at the intersection of blockchain and finance. His work aims to enhance decentralised invoicing systems by making them more secure, automated, and adaptable across multiple digital currencies - contributing to the growing domain of decentralized finance (DeFi). Divyanshu's proposal, "Efficient Recurring Events and Solidifying Core Features," focuses on strengthening calendar-based productivity tools used worldwide. His contribution seeks to improve efficiency, reliability, and usability in widely adopted open-source scheduling platforms. Starting in 2005, GSoC has brought over 21,000 new contributors from 123 countries into the open-source community over the past 20 years.
