Dr. Prabina Rajib, Director, BIMTECH, while introducing the new batch of PGDMs with the institute’s rich history said, “It is a proud moment for us today to witness this ambitious group of diverse students embark on a transformative journey with us. Looking ahead, the futuristic jobs/positions will require business leaders who are handy with technology, and demonstrate adaptability & creativity. Therefore, we are investing in both hard and soft infrastructure. It has been our endeavor to provide our students with every opportunity that a management student can dream of. Recently, we have revised our curriculum in a significant manner with a large component of experiential learning. We have signed a MoU with Singapore University, we are in a discussion with a US-based company to start a center of excellence in block chain, and we are also in discussion with Bloomberg to set up a Finance Lab.”
Imparting wisdom to the in-coming batch of 2024-2026, Dr. Abhishek Tiwary advised the students, “The road ahead is exhilarating and demanding. Focus on the core skills, befriend data and technology and most importantly ask quality questions. Get out of your comfort zones and build networks. My message to you is just enjoy the process and before you solve the world’s problems, indulge in some self-care. Be bold, be curious, and be the change-makers the world needs. ”
Addressing the newcomers during his commencement speech, Maj. Gen. Rajesh Kumar Jha said, “I’m humbled to be amongst the future leaders. Everything is a workplace and each one of you is a leader. Learn to work in pressure and be adaptable. I believe leaders should be authentic and have a strong character, for authenticity is the cornerstone of a good leader. Success will not come to your doorstep. Do not despair if there is a failure. Embrace humility with grace and do not forget the sacrifices and contributions of your parents. ”
