Where students have the last word
Simarpreet Singh Arora (NIT Rkl, Cornell Tech MBA, 2022); World MBA Rank 17
" It has been phenomenal working with Gaurav Sir in this MBA journey. A very humble person, he is keenly interested in knowing your story and life, such that you can lay your best foot forward in the applications.
He has been a guide, a mentor, a teacher throughout this MBA process! From shortlisting schools, networking with B-school students, helping in preparing resumes and essays, preparing for interviews, and negotiations during the scholarship process, he did get me all covered. The perspectives that he had reading those essays as a potential AdCom member were very insightful for me.
The application process would have had been quite challenging for me without him. Congrats to Team JAG for another success story! Looking forward to many more admits from them in the future! "

"Getting a good percentile that will fetch you a B-School is the halfway of your MBA dream. I was there in January'21 with a percentile in my hand that lies in the lower range. So, the only way to get into a B-School was to bang the interview. With the recommendation of one of my friends, I joined JAG and that was the best decision so far. Through the PDP sessions at JAG, I had rediscovered myself and through that process, Gaurav sir pointed out some of my strengths those were hibernating. Those personal attention and one-on-one interaction with Gaurav sir boosted my confidence and led me to one of the prestigious Business institutions of India. Moreover, the mock interviews were the ones that prepared me for the worst. I will definitely recommend JAG Educate to everyone who wants to pursue their career in Business stream."
Saheli Ghosh (HEC Paris (2021)-France, World MBA Rank #9)
"I started working with Jag and Gaurav Sir because I had very specific needs and less time! Gaurav sir was always there encouraging even when things were not working out. Sometimes he was more hopeful and ambitious for my applications than me.
He helped me create a wonderful CV, I feel making things short and fitting the most important achievements in most important.
Then coming to HEC admits, I already had multiple admits from other schools and it was just before COVID struck all of us. HEC application is very long since it has 6 essays along with the application form. I took help for 4 out of 6 essays. Gaurav Sir came up with great essay storylines(structures) for them.
The process JAG follows is good. There are long telephone conversations to know about you then there is a long list of questions which you need to fill up which will be used as a based material. Based on that material the essay storylines are created. Then coming to editing and making all fit in the word limit keeping in mind what’s that one thing that will stand out in the essay, also no repetitions since each essay must be unique.
I had a great experience working with Gaurav Sir. More than the applications he was always there when you wanted to discuss anything and everything. I still consult him."
(Saheli also had calls from other top schools like ISB, HKUST, Georgetown, etc. She finally chose to take up ISB's offer due to Covid issues worldwide))
Prateek (CET, FMS Delhi-2020)
I started preparing for GMAT along with a job in hand which seemed a difficult situation for me because even after preparing for 4 months by myself I could not get a decent score in GMAT. But after joining JAG, I found out that the issue was with my thinking process. I realized although GMAT has the same basics as of other management competitive exams in India but it requires a slightly different angle of thought flow which I got when Gaurav sir started guiding me with each and every question. He brought in me the GMAT perspective of thinking. And after joining JAG, it took me just 3 months to get a good score, and after that get an admit from a respected B School in Europe. Gaurav sir undoubtedly has that vision to know a student's weakness and how to try to overcome it.
(Prateek also had calls from IE Spain and XIMB)
Shirin Sonali (CET, ESSEC(2019)-France, World MIM Rank #4)
"Pre-final year of engineering was a difficult time for me. I knew I wanted to study business after college, but didn't know which path to undertake to get there. Meeting Gaurav sir was a boon for me. Not only did he mentor me on how to get there, he also showed me where my strengths and my weaknesses lay. Abhishek Sir helped sway away my fear of maths by simplifying approaches to problems, in the process totally changing the way I looked at them in general. The adequate inputs and help they provided 24*7 is more than invaluable. JAG has helped me a lot in terms of giving my life a proper direction and the momentum to proceed along the same. "
Chandraneel (NIT Rourkela, IIM Trichy MBA (2019))
"I consider myself quite lucky to have come across Gaurav Sir and join JAG Educate. He was able to harness my potential which I even didn't know exists and prepared me for the GD and PI rounds of all major B-Schools. I honestly feel I wouldn't be half as confident as today without the guidance of Gaurav Sir. I will always recommend JAG Educate to everyone who is looking to succeed in their career."
Priyasha Behera (CET Bhubaneswar, IIM Ranchi (2019))
"For me the toughest part on the journey to a B-school was the interview process. Gaurav sir played a really important role in helping me get rid of my anxieties by mentoring me and guiding me in the right direction so that I could prepare my best for the interviews. With JAG, I was able to build a strong profile which also contributed a lot. For my success I really thank Gourav sir and Simran who were always available whenever I needed extra help or advice. The PDP classes at JAG indeed helped me be confident for facing any kind of interviews with ease and that resulted in such positive outcomes."
Malavika Ranjan (Sai Int School, HSEE-IIT Madras (2018), TISS Hyderabad, CBSE 95.8%)
"Being a student of Humanities, I wanted to study subjects like Economics, Sociology, Political Science and so on. To pursue the same, I started preparing for the entrance examinations like-HSEE, TISSBAT and CLAT. My approach to prepare for these examinations changed completely after joining JAG. JAG introduced me to new ways of learning and helped me prepare for my entrance examinations efficiently. Coming from the Humanities background, I was unsure about my Quantitative abilities. But, with Abhishek sir's guidance and support, I performed well in the section. I would also like to thank Gaurav sir a ton for giving me an insight into verbal ability. The help received over the months made it easier for me to understand the concepts and tackle the examinations with confidence and skill.The significance of JAG in my preparations cannot be summarised using mere words. To say the least, thank you so much JAG for helping and supporting me through the entrance preparations. "
Arya Hota (RDWU, ISB Hyderabad(2018)-World MBA Rank #28)
"There are thousands of institutes that work by bringing the student into their framework, but Jag Educate fits in into the framework of the student.
The personal level attention and one-to-one interaction is what makes JAG Educate the best.
As a student still pursuing undergrad I was very confused about what's out there and also about what's in me. But by going to JAG Educate I was able to get a clear picture and my personal best options. JAG Educate helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses better.
Jag Educate invests on each student individually and caters to his needs any time required.
Most important JAG Educate helps you boost your confidence. And that confidence along with my introspection that JAG helped me with got me into Indian School of business."
Anuradha Sahoo (IE Spain(2017), World MBA Rank #8)
" I met Gaurav exactly a year back when I was preparing for my GMAT exam . I was in the crossroad of taking a big step but I was afraid of uncertainty that MBA journey offers.
With Gaurav, I found a mentor and a friend who is genuinely invested in my success. He truly believed that I have the potential to do something bigger than myself. He inspired and made me aspire . I am grateful to have such an incredibly talented yet so grounded and humble person as my mentor all through my life.
JAG is a community build by Gaurav with a value to help each other to tap our leadership potential for a better tomorrow.
I am proud to be part of the #JAGFAMILY. "
