Jaipuria Institute Of Management

Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur conferred 296 PGDM diplomas on its Class of 2026 and put an average package of Rs 11.08 lakh against that cohort. It charges Rs 14,75,000 for the 2026-28 diploma, less than either Jaipuria campus ranked above it, and AICTE has taken its one surviving diploma from 240 seats to 360 in a single approval round. Every figure below belongs to a 5.12-acre plot in Sanganer, not to the four-campus totals the placement tiles carry.

The Jaipur campus opened in 2006 and has never taught anything but management. Its AICTE application enters 2006 as both the year of establishment and the year of first AICTE approval, records the institution type as Private-Self Financing with 0 per cent of its funding received as government grant, and gives its AISHE code as S-309. Its downloads library backs that date up in the plainest way available, by posting the AICTE approval letters themselves, year by year, back to 2006-07.

Land is where this campus differs most from its siblings. The same application records a single piece of 5.12 acres at 1, Bambala Institutional Area, Pratap Nagar, Sanganer, carrying 9,416 sqm of built-up area, registered with the Jaipur Development Authority in 2002 and held on a government lease. Teaching, administration, amenities and both hostels sit inside that one boundary, on a main block whose plan the same authority cleared in 2005, which is why the building schedule reads as one address rather than a set of faculties. The society that owns the institute is not local to it: the AICTE approval letter names Integral Education Society at a Gomti Nagar address in Lucknow, and Jaipur files its own paperwork under that society for everything an applicant cares about.

What Jaipuria awards in Sanganer is a diploma, and the caret in PGDM^/MBA is carrying the entire qualification. No university charter stands behind this course. AICTE signs the course off. The Association of Indian Universities then rules, in a document of its own, that the diploma is equivalent to an MBA, and it is that ruling rather than the approval which an employer or a foreign registrar will eventually ask to see. Get the wording from the admission office before you fill in anything that asks you for a degree. One claim on the campus overview is narrower and more checkable than the group's usual copy: it describes itself as the only private B school offering PGDM courses in the state of Rajasthan to hold NBA accreditation. The same page sets out the teaching method it says distinguishes Jaipur inside the group, a workshop model in which 20 per cent of lectures are delivered by experts from the corporate world.

Leadership is currently held on an acting basis, and one of the filings has not caught up. The campus overview names Dr Daneswar Sharma as Professor and Director (Incharge), and seats him as chair of an academic council whose external members come almost entirely from Jaipur employers, including a former managing director of RIICO, an advisor at HCL Technologies, a regional HR head at HCCBPL and officers from BOI Axa and HDFC AMC. The AICTE application filed for 2024-25 still records Dr Prabhat Pankaj, an economist who joined the institute in 2013, as director. The NIRF 2026 return settles it as far as a filing can, listing Dr Daneshwar Sharma in the director's post and Dr Prabhat Pankaj as a professor, though it spells the acting director's name differently from the campus page.

One two-year diploma is now the whole of the residential catalogue at Sanganer. The programme pages describe a PGDM in which the first year builds the foundation and the second is tailored by elective choice, under a header strip reading AICTE Approved, NBA Accredited and AIU Recognised. Alongside it the campus runs the Fellow Programme in Management at doctoral level and an executive education line of management development programmes. Contact hours, workshop hours and internship length are advertised on that page only inside images, so treat them as marketing rather than as a published curriculum, and ask for the academic calendar instead.

A second diploma is gone, and the campus site has not caught up with its own paperwork. In the AICTE approval round for 2025-26 Jaipuria applied to close the PGDM (Service Management) at Jaipur, the council recorded the closure status as Approved and the intake approved for 2025-26 as 0, and the diploma does not appear at all in the approval issued for 2026-27. The programmes page has dropped it. The Jaipur landing page has not, and still offers it beside the PGDM and the fellow programme, which is one click away from a form with a dead course on it.

The price is published twice on the same page, once by year and once by trimester, and the two agree.

Three charges live outside that total, in the small type beneath it. A refundable deposit of Rs 15,000 rides on the first instalment. Whatever tax the government notifies is added to the course fee rather than absorbed into it. Rooms and meals are priced on a separate table further down the same page. Nor is withdrawal the institute's own call: it hands that to the AICTE refund policy and identifies the policy by its public notice number instead of paraphrasing what it says.

Set the total against the rest of the group and Jaipur is the cheap seat. The Rs 14,75,000 charged here sits below the Rs 15,25,000 at Lucknow and the Rs 16,50,000 at Noida, on one application form where the campus box is the only thing that decides which schedule applies to you.

Selection here is a composite, and the entrance test decides less than half of it. The admission page requires a bachelor's degree from a recognised Indian university with a minimum of 50% marks or an equivalent CGPA, accepts CAT 2025, XAT 2026, CMAT, MAT or GMAT, and charges a non-refundable admission process entrance fee of INR 1000 across a three-phase application in which you name a preferred campus, then a preferred interview venue.

Nobody walks in. Jaipuria invites a shortlist to one sitting that carries a case analysis and a personal interview, then promises the offer letter, any scholarship decision included, inside two weeks of it. Documents and the first trimester's money are what actually hold the seat afterwards. An applicant still in a final year is taken on the promise of a degree, and the two dates holding that promise together are 30 June 2026 for completion and 1 October 2026 for the proof; miss the second and the enrolment can be withdrawn.

The single most useful thing an applicant can read on this campus is not the weightage table but the scholarship ladder under it, because Jaipur publishes a band the group's higher-ranked campuses do not. A CAT score of 60% and above earns Rs 1,50,000 here, where the Noida table stops at 70% and the Lucknow table pools XAT with MAT and CMAT at 90%. That is the clearest published signal of the profile Jaipuria expects to see in Jaipur, and it is worth reading before you decide the campus is out of reach or beneath you.

No percentile is published for entry to Jaipuria Jaipur, and none exists to publish, because the composite above replaces it. That leaves two sets of real numbers a candidate can work with, and neither of them is an entry bar.

The first is the score sheet already shown. The test carries 45%, the interview 25%, and the case analysis and interview together outweigh the whole Class X, Class XII and degree record. One day in front of a panel therefore does more for an application here than a second attempt at CAT, and the institute says openly that those exercises are read for interpersonal skills as well as knowledge.

The second is the percentile ladder attached to money.

Read that as pricing, not as admission. Every band applies to a candidate the panel has already selected, and the lowest CAT rung is a discount rather than a cutoff. The practical consequence is arithmetic: at 90% the award covers roughly a third of the Rs 14,75,000 fee, and at 60% it covers about a tenth, so where you land on the exam changes what this diploma costs far more than it changes whether you get in.

Jaipuria Jaipur files its own placement record with NIRF under institute code IR-M-S-309, and that filing is where the campus-level salary series for Sanganer lives. Everything else printed under the Jaipuria name is a four-campus total.

Three filings show the middle of the batch climbing while the batch itself gets much bigger. The graduating group went from 185 in 2022-23 to 295 in 2024-25 while the median moved from 8,29,000 to 9,02,000, so Sanganer absorbed close to sixty per cent more graduates without the middle salary slipping. The distance between the graduating count and the placed count has stayed in single figures in every year filed.

One number for this campus does not come from NIRF at all. At the 19th annual convocation on 20 June 2026 the institute reported an average package of Rs 11.08 lakh for the graduating Class of 2026, alongside a highest package of Rs 24.11 LPA. Treat the two differently. The average is a genuine campus-level disclosure, and on a salary distribution it will normally sit above the NIRF median, because a median is the middle of the batch and an average is pulled upward by the top of it. The highest package is the identical Rs 24.11 LPA the group prints on its four-campus tiles, so on its own it says nothing about Jaipur.

Group publicity is where the reading gets careless, and Jaipuria's own pages disagree with each other. The campus landing page counts 350+ companies visited for recruitment and 1,100+ placement offers, while the fee page on the same campus site counts 275+ companies participated and 1100+ students opted for placement, under an asterisk reading combined stats for all 4 campuses. Neither tile is a Jaipur number, and one of them counts offers where the other counts students.

What Jaipur does publish, and almost no Indian business school does, is the placed list itself. Under its NBA disclosures the campus posts a year-by-year sheet naming every placed student, their enrolment number and their employer, for three consecutive years. Read the oldest against the newest and a shift appears that no ranking table records. The 2021-22 sheet runs to 176 names and belongs to consulting, IT services and edtech: Deloitte takes 19 of them, HCL Technologies 12, an entry recorded simply as EdTech domain 10, PWC India 8 and Byju's 7, with EY, IHS Markit and Turing behind them. The 2023-24 sheet runs to 173 names and belongs to lenders and insurers: Deloitte and HDFC Bank take 19 each, Great Learning 11, IDFC First Bank 9, Aditya Birla Capital and Asian Paints 8 apiece, with ICICI Bank, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, Mahindra Finance, IDBI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Prime and Berger Paints filling the rest. A candidate aiming at brand marketing or supply chain should put the older sheet beside the newer one and ask the placement office which of the two 2026 will look like.

The intake at Sanganer has been rearranged and enlarged at the same time, and one AICTE letter did both.

The same 2025-26 letter that closed the service management diploma lifted the flagship PGDM from 240 seats to 360, and the diploma it closed had been running at an approved intake of 60. Net of that closure the campus gained sixty residential seats and put all of them on the one diploma it still teaches. NIRF has been recording a sanctioned two-year postgraduate intake of 300 for both 2023-24 and 2024-25, which is the old pair of diplomas added together, so 360 is the first real growth in capacity here for years rather than a reshuffle between courses.

Filling those seats has not been a problem lately. The same filings set first-year intake against students actually admitted: 240 sanctioned and 211 admitted in 2020-21, then 240 against 240 in 2021-22 and again in 2022-23, then 300 against 300 in 2023-24. A campus that has taken every approved seat for three years running, and has since been cleared for sixty more, is one whose class size is set by the regulator rather than by demand.

Who occupies the seats is the most distinctive thing in Jaipur's filings. Women are the majority here, 302 of the 591 on roll against 289 men, with 469 drawn from within Rajasthan, 122 from other states and 0 from outside the country. Four students in five are home-state students, and the four-campus brand on the letterhead does not change that. It is the single fact a candidate weighing Sanganer against a Delhi or Mumbai school should sit with longest, because it decides who is in the room with you for two years.

None of the intake is set aside in advance. What the return holds is a headcount taken afterwards: 98 of the roll marked economically backward, 90 socially challenged under the SC, ST and OBC heading, and 180 recorded as getting no full tuition reimbursement from any source at all. Nothing in front of that is a quota. The AICTE application answers No to whether the institution holds state approval for an EWS quota, so a reserved-category applicant has no matrix here to plan around.

One government table carries this campus's national standing. The NIRF 2025 management ranking puts IR-M-S-309 at rank 74 on an overall score of 49.26. Watch the name column while you check it, because the framework prints the Jaipur row and the Noida row under the identical bare name Jaipuria Institute of Management, with only the city to tell them apart.

The profile is lopsided in a way the single rank hides. Graduation outcomes, the parameter built largely from placement and salary, is where a fee-paying student's money shows up, and Jaipur scores 75.37 on it. Its two nearest neighbours split around that: Jain University at rank 73 scores 70.83 and Prin. L.N. Welingkar at rank 75 scores 81.75. Perception is the surprise. At 10.54 this campus more than doubles Jain University's 4.72 and Manipal University Jaipur's 4.72, which is unusual for a private diploma school outside the metros.

Outreach and inclusivity is the floor at 59.61, and the filings explain it without much mystery. Four-fifths of the roll comes from one state and nobody on it draws a state or central tuition reimbursement, which reads as a narrow catchment however well the campus does on gender.

Research is the other soft spot at 18.34, though the shape behind the number is not what the score suggests. In 2024-25 this campus took Rs 56,18,232 from 4 consultancy projects for 4 client organisations, against Rs 21,80,480 across 3 sponsored research projects. Both of the higher-ranked campuses filed a single consultancy that year, worth Rs 18,88,000 at Lucknow and Rs 16,42,000 at Noida. Jaipur earns more from advising businesses than either and publishes less, which is a different weakness from having no external work at all.

Further along the strip on the campus landing page, three private rankers get badges of their own. MBA Universe places Jaipuria Jaipur 58th among Indian B-schools in 2026. EducationWorld puts it 28th among private B-schools in 2023, and Competition Success Review 37th in the same year. Attribution is not the same thing as verifiability. Not one of those three publishes a table this campus can be looked up in, and two of them are dated three admission cycles ago, which leaves the government's ranking as the only line on the strip worth quoting back to anybody.

Jaipuria Jaipur does not split into departments; it splits a single diploma into dual specialisations. The campus overview sets the choice at Marketing, HR, Operations, Finance and Strategy, and names the elective courses that hang off them, including Brand Marketing, Marketing Research, Project Finance, Analytical Models in Finance, Leadership and Change, Performance Management and e-commerce. Two students on the same PGDM can leave with quite different transcripts, and the elective year is where that happens.

Research and outreach run through three centres. The centres for excellence page lists a Centre for Sustainability and Happiness, an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cell registered as an Institution's Innovation Council under the ministry's innovation cell on 21 November 2018, and a Centre for Consulting and Management Development whose faculty write teaching cases on businesses within reach of the campus. The named cases are Tapri, Piplantri, described there as a sustainable village, Tea Connect, and the acquisition of Bharat Ceramic by Orbit Ceramic. One of the four closes a loop back to the campus that wrote it. The institute's own alumni page lists Kishan Jainani of the 2010 batch as founder and chief executive of Tea Connect Cafe, so a case on that reading list is a case about a business a Jaipuria Jaipur graduate built.

Executive teaching is the line growing fastest. Jaipur ran 15 management development programmes for 333 participants in 2022-23 and 44 for 928 participants in 2024-25, earning Rs 1,32,76,442 in the latter year. Roughly three times as many working managers now pass through the building in a year as did three years ago, which is the practical thing a PGDM candidate should take from it.

Everything is inside one building on one plot, and the AICTE filing gives the breakdown rather than an adjective. Within 9,416 sqm of built-up area the institute records 2,337 sqm of instructional carpet area, 1,258 sqm administrative, 3,856 sqm of amenities and 1,965 sqm of access and circulation. Amenities take the largest share of any category, which is what happens when the hostels, the cafeteria and the common rooms sit inside the same envelope as the classrooms.

Teaching space is varied rather than large. The same filing lists ten classrooms running from 82 sqm to 116 sqm, three tutorial rooms from 59.3 sqm up, a seminar hall of 234 sqm and a computer centre of 307 sqm, and registers one specialist room as a research lab for the postgraduate course: a Sanako language laboratory equipped with 31 PCs and 31 headphones. No auditorium appears anywhere in that schedule, which makes the 234 sqm seminar hall the largest room the campus has to work with.

Computing provision is generous for the size of the roll. AICTE records 136 machines available exclusively to students, 10 more in the library, 27 with faculty and 30 in the language lab, on an internet link of 300 Mbps, with 6 printers for student use. Three answers in the same file are worth reading beside that. The institute confirms at least one smart classroom per department, says its electives run mandatorily through SWAYAM, the government MOOC platform, and answers No to a one-student-one-laptop scheme, so the hardware that matters here belongs to the institute rather than to the student.

The library is a single room and a well-funded one. The filing enters 9,311 titles and 13,333 volumes, 19 journals published in India and 40 published abroad, a reading room seating 110, 10 multimedia terminals and an annual budget of Rs 4601498, in 527.87 sqm on the first floor, with ProQuest and DELNET subscriptions and barcode handling. Two things about it are worth planning around. The doors are open 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, which rules out the late-night library trimester, and the spend on books, journals and e-resources fell from Rs 62,82,350 in 2023-24 to Rs 25,45,462 in 2024-25.

One entry sits oddly against the campus's environmental messaging. Against three buildings with roof tops and an annual electricity consumption of 586,354 units in 2023-24 at an average of Rs 12.23 a unit, the institute records 3,642 sqm of land and 780 sqm of roof available for solar photovoltaic panels, a policy of using only LED lamps, and nothing at all entered under renewable energy currently in use. The same file answers No to whether grid-connected solar has been installed. The space has been measured and surveyed; the panels have not gone up.

Beds here are owned by the institute and stand on the teaching campus rather than a bus ride from it. AICTE puts the girls' hostel at 54 rooms holding 108 and the boys' hostel at 28 rooms holding 52, both owned, both located within the campus. Put both blocks against the 591 students on roll and they cover a little over a quarter of the campus, so roughly three Jaipuria Jaipur students in four rent somewhere else in the city. The women's block also holds twice what the men's does, on a roll where women are the slight majority. Anyone arriving from outside Rajasthan should settle where they will actually sleep before accepting the offer.

Both room types are open to men and women here, where the Lucknow campus keeps its single rooms for women.

The billing rhythm is the part that catches families out. Accommodation is charged by the year and payable with the first and the fourth instalments of the programme fee, on top of a further refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000, with mess billed separately, rooms given out first come first serve and the rate open to revision every year. Two months of the two-year course therefore carry a full year of rent and a trimester of tuition at once, and at Rs 2,10,000 the single room costs more for a year than any single trimester of the diploma.

The teaching roll is published in full and it has churned. The NIRF 2026 faculty table runs to 42 names, 38 of them holding a doctorate, and 7 carry a leaving date in 2025. Three of those seven went on 30 June, at the close of the academic year, and two more left on the same day in late November, an assistant professor and an associate professor together. A candidate reading a faculty page mid-cycle should check whether the professor whose specialisation drew them is still on the roll.

Continuity sits at the senior end. The same table shows Swati Soni on the roll since 2006, the campus's founding year, Lokesh Vijayvargy since 2007, and Anvay Bhargava and Shubha Johri since 2009, alongside a professor credited with 636 months of experience. Those are people who have taught the Jaipur PGDM through every version of it.

Staffing against the regulator's bar is exact rather than comfortable. The AICTE application for 2024-25 records 24 faculty required and 24 in place for the PGDM, 6 required and 6 in place for the service management diploma, and 1 and 1 for the fellow programme. Every course was staffed to its requirement and none above it, which is worth holding in mind now that the flagship diploma has been cleared to carry 360 seats instead of 240.

Doctoral supervision is small and stated as such: the campus reports 6 full-time and 10 part-time doctoral students, with 4 full-time candidates graduating in 2024-25.

Look for a famous Jaipuria Jaipur graduate and there is not one to find, which this campus neither hides nor dresses up. Its alumni page puts up a wall of working managers instead. Two walls, in fact: a mentor carousel that gives a name, a designation and a batch year, and a longer grid underneath it that adds the employer. Only the grid is quotable, so only the grid is used here.

Read the two walls against each other and the page argues with itself. Mishita Singhal is a 2019 graduate in the grid and a 2017 one in the carousel. Kamna Sharma is a team manager in the grid and an assistant vice president in the carousel. Avinash Dubey of the 2009 batch appears twice inside the grid alone, once as a product head and once as a national sales head, at two unrelated companies. A designation here is a snapshot somebody sent in, not a filing, and it should be treated that way.

The batch years also reach back past the campus. One entry is dated 1997, nine years before Jaipuria taught anything in Jaipur, which is a plain sign that the wall mixes group alumni with Sanganer ones. So do the counters: the alumni page says 16000+ while the landing page says 17K+, and neither number is broken out by city. Where the wall does earn its place is as a check on the placement sheets: the employers on it are the same banks, consulting firms and analytics houses that recur on the 2023-24 placement list, which suggests graduates stay in the sectors this campus actually recruits into.

Three dated items should shape a 2026 application here. The 19th annual convocation on 20 June 2026 awarded 301 diplomas, 296 to PGDM graduates and 5 to fellow programme scholars, with Pankaj Sharma, executive director at JPMorgan Chase, as chief guest and Shreevats Jaipuria, vice chairman of the board of governors, presiding. That is the first public count for the batch that will appear in the next NIRF return, and it is larger than any cohort in the table above.

The AICTE extension of approval for 2026-27 was issued on 16 March 2026 and holds the PGDM at 360 seats with the fellow programme at 10, so the expansion cleared the previous year was not a one-season allowance. Read its standing instruction carefully, though. Every AICTE approval letter carries the line that central and state reservation policy, including EWS, applies to all the programmes, and Jaipuria's own filing answers that it holds no state EWS approval, so the instruction is boilerplate rather than a route into a quota seat.

The third item is the equivalence that makes this diploma behave like a degree. The downloads library now heads its AIU Equivalence list with a 2025-28 entry, filed as an AIU application renewal letter dated 2026, above the archived 2022-25, 2019-22, 2018-19 and 2016-18 letters. Anyone who will need MBA equivalence for a government application or a foreign university should ask the admission office to send that 2025-28 letter rather than working from a link found further down the list.

Jaipur has three management schools in the national top 100 and Jaipuria is the middle one. The NIRF 2025 management table places Malaviya National Institute of Technology at rank 62 on 52.07, Jaipuria Institute of Management at 74 on 49.26 and Manipal University Jaipur at 81 on 47.56. Widen the frame to Rajasthan and IIM Udaipur enters at rank 21 on 61.79. Among the three in the city, Jaipuria is the only standalone private business school; MNIT is a centrally funded technical institute and Manipal is a private university, so the choice is not only about the rank but about whether you want a business school or a management department inside something larger.

The two schools nearest it nationally are a long way from Rajasthan and win on opposite parameters. Jain University at rank 73 scores 49.28 overall and Prin. L.N. Welingkar at rank 75 scores 49.08, a spread of a fifth of a point across the three. Welingkar is well ahead on graduation outcomes and perception; Jaipuria is ahead of Jain on both. At this score band the deciding factors are the fee, the campus-level salary and the city you want to work in afterwards.

Inside the group the trade is rank against price, and Jaipur is at one end of it.

The Jaipur row is the interesting one. It is the cheapest of the three and it filed a median Rs 9,02,000 that sits above Lucknow's Rs 9,00,000 and within striking distance of Noida's Rs 9,25,000, on the lowest fee of the three. Rank buys the Delhi NCR address and the brand's best table position; on these filings it does not buy a materially better middle salary.

The campus sits in the Bambala institutional pocket of Pratap Nagar, in Sanganer on the southern edge of Jaipur, well clear of the walled city that most visitors picture when they hear the name.

One number on that page reaches nobody in Sanganer. The mobile printed against the Jaipur admission office is the identical mobile printed against the Lucknow, Noida and Indore admission offices, so an admission call lands on a group desk answering for four campuses at once. The landline and the placement number in the table above are Jaipur numbers, and those are the ones to dial when the question is about this campus specifically.
