FROM THE CHAIRMAN’S DESK

Knowledge – A fluid mix of experience, value, contextual information and expert insight provides the framework for

evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates and is applied in the minds of knowers. In

organizations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories, but also in organizational routines,

processes, practices and norms. Here, at IITM we try to nourish the visionary gleam that lies within the students and

cultivate the art of seeing the imperceptible things. This issue of JIGYASA brings to you an account of the events and

activities that took place at the institution, bringing to me a feeling of fruition of the events and programs envisioned in

the earlier semester. Indeed, there is so much to share and feel proud of. The panoramic glimpses of the vibrant and

fecund events are entwined into its pages which speak themselves for the thrusts, learning dimensions and

developments that took place in the semester gone by. The very objective of education at IITM is to let the students

find their own wisdom and hone the sense of right & wrong. We take our teaching profession as a social responsibility,

contributing our mite to build a new vibrant India.

Placement of Students in the Past Years

Institute of Information Technology and Management (IITM) has a well-established Placement Cell which

facilitates and assists the students in placement. Students regularly participate in the Campus Drives or

appear for the Joint Campus Drives at Neutral Venues. Students are given a chance to attend the Pre-

Placement Talk with the Company Officials beforehand so that they can understand the profiles being

offered better and clarify their doubts. The Placements, both for final jobs and summer internships are an

integral part of our annual calendar of activities. The placement cell consists of manager - training &

placement, faculty members and students. The leading companies are approached from both the IT and

Management sectors where eligible students are facilitated to go through the entire selection process. The

whole process is always governed by students‟ abilities and interest areas as well as the requirements and

norms of the industry.

Intern ware Incorporated in 2017, Intern ware strives to provide corporate exposure to undergraduate students. It aims to

prepare the students for summer internships and final placement interviews which help in grooming their

technical aspects, communication skills, group discussions, presentation skills, self confidence and overall

personality. Intern ware tries to create an ambience in which new ideas and creativity flourish from which future

leaders and innovators emerge. Students are regularly taken for industrial visit in reputed companies like

National Stock Exchange, Yakult Danone India Pvt. Ltd, Parliament Museum, etc.

Alumni Speaks

Greetings to all the people of IITM, I have spent the most important phase of my life

with IITM. Attending classes which were more of a compulsion than will (75%

attendance), acting like bandits in canteen and most important, being the CR of the

class, all this have made me a better person. So, do not miss out on anything that you

will regret because this time and opportunity will never come back again.

Mr. Yed Danish Iqbal

BBA (2009 - 12)

IITM is committed to impart the highest quality of education and exposure to help

develop the next generation of business leaders with global outlook and capability of

adapting to the fast changing business environment of India and the world at large. By

introducing new specialization areas and adopting an innovative pedagogy, the institute

has been constantly working to develop professionals with vision, courage and

dedication to initiate and manage the change.

Ms. Snigdha Maggo

MBA (2015 - 17)

My journey with the institute was very motivating and full of excitement. I want to

thank the institution for inculcating in me moral ethics and values apart from the

conventional academic competence to make me a better person and to help me compete

with other young aspirants.

Ms. Kriti Grover

BCA (2009 - 12)

A place to explore all the positive qualities in you. Simply, Exploring Excellence. The

place has helped me to become a more confident person and better entrepreneur, helping

me to grow in each and every possible way. The students, faculty members,

management, staff, everything was awesome. I want to thank all the faculty members

and management for their endless efforts towards the students for achieving success in

every possible ways. Thank You IITM, with all my heart.
