The MBA journey for the Batch of 2026–28 at JAGSoM, Vijaybhoomi University, began with the Deeksha Aarambh Ceremony, a meaningful start that set the tone for two years of growth, discovery, and transformation.

Bringing together university leaders, distinguished alumni, and industry experts, the ceremony encouraged students to look beyond earning a degree and focus on becoming future-ready professionals. With artificial intelligence reshaping the world of work, the central message was clear: while technology will continue to evolve, human capabilities such as critical thinking, creativity, adaptability, collaboration, communication, ethical decision-making, and lifelong learning will define tomorrow's leaders.

The University's leadership shared the vision behind JAGSoM's distinctive MBA curriculum, designed to prepare students not just for their first job, but for sustained success throughout their careers. Industry speakers and JAGSoM alumni from leading organizations further inspired the cohort with powerful insights on employability, leadership, and personal growth, reminding students to discover their unique strengths and continuously invest in them.

As Orientation unfolds over the coming days, the newest JAGSoM cohort embarks on an exciting journey, one that promises new perspectives, meaningful connections, and the foundation to lead with purpose in an ever-changing world.

The Orientation journey continued with the Outbound Leadership Lab (OLL), where the MBA Batch of 2026-28 stepped beyond the classroom to discover themselves through experience. Designed around the philosophy of experiential learning, OLL challenged students to think, collaborate, and lead in unfamiliar situations.

From trekking through scenic trails to participating in team challenges, strategy-based games, and reflection exercises, every activity had a purpose beyond fun. Students learned to communicate effectively, build trust, solve problems under pressure, and appreciate the strengths that each individual brings to a team.

As they navigated challenges together, strangers became teammates, and teammates became friends. The shared experiences fostered meaningful connections, encouraged resilience, and reinforced the value of empathy, adaptability, and collaboration; qualities that define effective leaders in today's dynamic world.

More than an outdoor adventure, OLL became the first real lesson of the MBA journey: leadership is not taught through lectures alone; it is discovered through experiences, strengthened through teamwork, and shaped through self-reflection. As the Orientation journey unfolds, these moments will continue to inspire a cohort ready to learn, lead, and grow together.

Exploring Industry First-Hand

Visits to Amul and IKEA offered the MBA Batch of 2026 an early glimpse into the world of business and operations

As part of their Orientation journey, the MBA Batch of 2026-28 stepped into the world of business through enriching industry visits to Amul and IKEA, gaining first-hand exposure to the scale, systems, and people behind two globally admired brands.

At the Amul Dairy Plant, students witnessed the fascinating journey of milk from procurement to the finished product. From quality testing, filtration, and pasteurisation to production, packaging, and supply chain operations, the visit offered a behind-the-scenes look at the precision and efficiency that drive one of India's most iconic dairy brands.

The learning continued at IKEA, where students explored how retail operations, visual merchandising, warehouse management, and customer experience come together to create a seamless shopping experience. Observing the coordination across different functions gave students a practical understanding of how a global retail brand operates at scale.

These visits marked an important step in the Orientation journey, encouraging students to observe, ask questions, and begin understanding the realities of the business world before they embark on their academic journey at JAGSoM.

Learning by Doing

Short IIP gives students early exposure to the workplace, transforming learning into real-world experience

At Vijaybhoomi University, learning extends far beyond the classroom. The Short Industry Internship Programme (Short IIP) is an integral part of the curriculum, giving students an opportunity to step into professional environments early in their academic journey and gain first-hand exposure to the realities of the workplace.

This year, students across the University's schools completed their Short IIPs with leading organisations, startups and across diverse sectors, including Tata Power, Taj Hotels, RDC Media Pvt. Ltd., Sanjay Electrical Enterprises, Coppergate Consultants, 3J Global Services Pvt. Ltd., etc. Working alongside industry professionals, they experienced how organisations operate, collaborated on live projects, adapted to professional expectations, and developed practical problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.

More than an internship, the Short IIP is an immersive learning experience that bridges academic learning with industry practice. It encourages students to take ownership, navigate real-world challenges, and build confidence through meaningful contributions. By embedding experiential learning into the curriculum from the very beginning, Vijaybhoomi University ensures that every student graduates with not only knowledge, but also the perspective, adaptability, and professional readiness needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

Nurturing the Researchers of Tomorrow

Research Incubation Program 2026

Curiosity is where every meaningful discovery begins. Building on this belief, Vijaybhoomi University has launched the Research Incubation Program 2026, an initiative designed to introduce students of Grades XI & XII to the world of academic research through structured faculty mentorship.

The programme encourages students to move beyond memorising information and develop the habits of questioning, investigating, analysing, and communicating ideas with clarity. Working alongside experienced university faculty, participants will explore real-world themes, strengthen their research aptitude, and build an academic portfolio that reflects intellectual curiosity and independent thinking.

In an era where information is readily available and AI can provide instant answers, the ability to ask meaningful questions and think critically has become one of the most valuable skills for future learners and leaders. The Research Incubation Program nurtures these capabilities while preparing students for higher education and lifelong learning.

Registrations for the Research Incubation Program 2026 are open until 20 July 2026.
