Department of PGDM - International Business at JIMS Rohini Sector 5 successfully organized
the International Immersion Program for its students in collaboration with BITS Pilani Dubai
Campus from 3 rd -9 th March 2025.
The students had an incredible opportunity to attend exclusive lectures by the faculty of BITS
Pilani Dubai campus (Prof. Sartaj Rasool Rather, Prof. Asgar Ali, Prof. Anurag Singh, Prof. Yusra
Qamar, Prof. Jiss Mathew, Prof. Lijo John, Prof. Aariz Faizan Javed, Prof. Aqila Rafi) focusing on
UAE’s economic landscape. Their sessions provided students a deep dive into the UAE job
market, evolving business trends, an overview of UAE’s financial market and the changing
dynamics of talent acquisition in UAE. One of the most memorable moments was our students
playing cricket with the BITS Dubai team—a match that wasn’t just about the sport but also about
teamwork, adaptability, and learning from different perspectives. The match hallmarked the
immersion program in its true spirit.
The key highlight of the immersion program was the industry visit to UltraTech Cement plant
based near the limestone mining facility at Ras Al Khaimah. The students got an opportunity to
gain understanding of large scale manufacturing operations and business practices of a global
conglomerate.
Additionally, students got an opportunity to experience a taste of socio-economic landscape of
Dubai by visiting Dubai Mall & Burj Khalifa, Dubai Global Village and Desert Safari making it a
true global immersion experience.
The program concluded with a Networking Tea Session & Certification Ceremony, offering
students a platform to connect with faculty, industry experts and fellow students.
