Jaipur: Just call the PERICOP RITUAL or BOOT CAMP, a 72-year-old Krishna cloth store in Johri Bazaar more than just dismissal for the agile family of JenRc University.
This is where Amit and Arpit have their brush with the business world, like Uncle and their Agarwal’s father, who later became CA.
When the state government in 1998 decided to open higher education to private players, Agarwal OP saw opportunities.
“He told us, both the Arpit and I, to study the policy and decide what we can do.
I was around 26 years later and the Arpit was five years old for me, when we made a blueprint to set up a college.
Our father Listen to the idea and give up.
That’s how JECRC (Jaipur Engineering College and Research Center was born in 2000, “he recalled Amit.
It is a challenging environment because the government’s degree is considered more valuable, credible than personal, even though the latter offers better pedagogy.
Amit said the college did attract good students, growing from 152 reception in the first year to 4,000 now.
For Amit and Arpit, the decade that occurs then is the learning phase and foster college both in the number of programs and quality.
They have obtained sufficient insight and sharpness in the sector that it is impossible to ignore the new state government policy to enable private universities.
“Business somehow walks in our blood.
Krishna Cloth shop in Johri Bazaar, in a certain sense, just baptizing us into that world.
When we started college, we did not have experience, but succeeded.
When the opportunity came ahead to set up JEMRC University in 2012 on a new campus spread across 40 hectares, “Amit said.
Of the three disciplines and 650 students in 2012, the University of Jemrc has expanded its program to 32, offering engineering, computer science, business management, law, mass communication, humanities, fashion design, etc.
“Reception has increased by more than 22% this year.
To more than 6,000.
Together with College, we have more than 10,000 students.
Our hostel with a capacity of 1,600 beds is almost full,” Amit said.
Pandemic has a part of its impact.
But Arpit said that they tried to save as much as they could from the situation while taking care of their employees.
“We did not put even one single staff, or cut their salaries.
Even the increase in last year was respected.
I worked from home to ensure students did not lose placement.
More than 430 students found placement at such a time.
Finally, we ended 2020- 21 with 2,016 placements with 89 companies, “Arpit said.
JEMRC now sees entering school education on the light model of assets by taking over the management of facilities available on the rental base or income distribution.
Likewise, it also sees opening medical colleges.
“For the next three to five years, we want to explore medical education and school.
We come across the school seeking management.
As for medical colleges, discussions are at the primary level now,” Amit added.
