Adventure! SP Jain Jaguars

After having spent almost two years (in Singapore & Dubai) of my life at S P Jain School of Global Management, living the life of a Jaguar has changed me dramatically. Here is a list of the five biggest changes I have experienced halfway through my tri-city BBA course.

Some days, I just ask myself, was coming to S P Jain worth it? Then I take a second just to sit back and assess that thought… and 99% of the time I’d get up from my seat with the same answer—YES, it was.

“Singapore, France, Dubai, Sydney”, I routinely say. “”That’s great!” or “I’m so jealous!” are the subsequent replies I get most of the time. It’s funny how everyone I meet has the same reaction, and I immediately know what runs through their minds. Like a 36 inch TV, the immediate Marina Bay Sands, Eiffel Tower, Burj Khalifa, and Sydney Opera house radiate from their tantalized eyes. I know because I was once there. Yet, I know, that was not all.

Last week was a sports week for football enthusiasts at the Dubai campus. First, the BBAs and MBAs organized a 7-a-side football tournament which took place at a high school in Dubai. We tried our best to make it look professional by having appropriate bidding for the players, looking for sponsors for jerseys, having a caring management team for each team, etc… Football players, management, as well as the supporters all had unlimited fun. It was a suitable way to mix with the MBA students and get to know them more. It doesn’t end here.

One of the things that you'll learn about during S P Jain's BBA Orientation in September is the absence policy. The college takes attendance for every class. Really. You are allowed 4 absences in every class (you take 5 classes most semesters). After that, you need to show a medical certificate (MC) from a doctor in Singapore (or whichever country you happen to be studying in that semester).

Eating chocolates, especially KitKat, is very tempting. Many of us even eat them every day. However, have we ever wondered how these delicacies are processed and what they are made of? To clear this doubt of ours and make us see some practical lines of business, S P Jain organized an industry visit at the KitKat factory of Dubai.

The first time I heard about SP Jain was five days before the deadline to apply for the BBA program. I was at home in Algeria, and saw the program on Facebook on the advertisement section found on the right of the homepage. I was just scrolling up and down and suddenly, I came across their exciting tri-city BBA program.
