Alumnae Spotlight – How the Mody Network Helped Me Land My Dream Job

University education plays an important role in shaping a student’s academic knowledge, professional competencies, and personal development. For young women, an appropriate educational environment can provide additional opportunities to develop confidence and explore diverse academic and career pathways. 

The growing participation of women in higher education further highlights the importance of such opportunities. According to the Ministry of Education’s AISHE 2021–22 report, female enrolment in higher education reached 2.07 crore, demonstrating the increasing participation of women across India’s higher education system. 

For students evaluating a private university in India, the decision extends beyond academic programmes, campus infrastructure and institutional facilities. Internships, experiential learning, faculty guidance, leadership activities, industry exposure and alumnae networks can contribute significantly to the development of professional readiness.

The influence of the university can also continue well beyond graduation. The knowledge, confidence, and experiences gained during these years often shape later career decisions and professional growth. This Alumnae Spotlight explores that journey through the experiences of Mody University graduates and the ways their university years have influenced their careers.

Real Alumnae Journeys: Lessons from the Network

Alumnae experiences provide a useful perspective for understanding the relationship between higher education and professional development. While individual career outcomes depend on several factors, including academic performance, personal initiative, professional experience and changing industry requirements, university-based opportunities can provide an important foundation. 

Case Study 1: How Mody University Helped Ayushi Jain Build a Career in Data Science 

Ayushi Jain graduated from Mody University in 2017 with a B.Tech. in Computer Science. She describes her four years at the university as a period that changed both her academic direction and personal confidence. Coming from a small town, she entered university with ambitions but gradually discovered opportunities that encouraged her to think beyond conventional career paths.

During her undergraduate education at Mody University, Ayushi participated in activities that extended beyond conventional classroom learning. These experiences enabled her to explore technical interests, undertake responsibilities and engage with academic and professional environments outside the university. 

She went on to build her career in the field and later worked with Walmart in Bengaluru as a senior data scientist. Her role reflects the progression of a journey that began with undergraduate computer science education and developed through research, higher studies, and professional experience. 

Opportunities That Shaped Ayushi’s Journey

• Academic support through scholarship: Ayushi received a 100% tuition-free scholarship as one of the top 25 JEE rank holders. This recognition supported her undergraduate education and allowed her to focus on her academic goals from the beginning.
• Leadership through IEEE: During her time at the university, Ayushi helped establish the university’s first IEEE student branch. The experience allowed her to take initiative, work with peers, and develop leadership skills alongside her technical education.
• International exposure through CERN: One of the defining opportunities in her undergraduate journey was a two-month internship at CERN in Switzerland, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. The experience exposed her to an international research environment and scientists working on particle physics experiments.
• Recognition for academic excellence: In her final year, Ayushi received the Upsilon Pi Epsilon Scholarship Award, an international honour awarded to only four students globally. This recognition added another milestone to her academic journey.
• Preparation for higher studies: The combination of her academic foundation, technical exposure, and research experience helped Ayushi progress to the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she completed her master’s in computer science with a specialisation in machine learning.

“Imagine the amount of growth and empowerment that you are made to feel in this university. I don’t think I would have achieved this much given that I had not gone there.” — Ayushi Jain

Key Takeaway

Ayushi’s experience demonstrates how Mody University’s scholarships, student leadership opportunities, research exposure and academic environment helped her develop the confidence and experience to pursue international education and a career in data science. Her journey reflects how individual opportunities during university can gradually shape long-term professional goals.

Case Study 2: How Mody University Supported Shobha Rani’s Journey to Judicial Service

A different professional trajectory can be observed in the experience of Shobha Rani completed her B.Sc. LL.B. from Mody University and subsequently entered judicial service in Uttar Pradesh. Her journey provides an example of how legal education, practical exposure and examination preparation can intersect in the development of a legal career.

For Shobha, her experience at Mody University was shaped by classroom learning, internships, and moot court activities. These elements helped her connect legal concepts with practical situations and develop a stronger understanding of the subject.

The Experiences That Shaped Shobha’s Legal Education

• Strong foundation in legal education: Shobha received structured legal education through her B.Sc. LL.B. programme. The academic foundation helped her develop a clearer understanding of legal concepts relevant to further competitive examination preparation.
• Learning through moot courts: Moot court activities allowed her to apply legal knowledge in practical situations. They also helped develop skills such as argumentation, legal research, and presenting a case with confidence.
• Practical exposure through internships: Internships complemented classroom learning by giving her greater exposure to how legal principles are applied in professional settings. This practical understanding became useful as she prepared for her career.
• Faculty guidance: Shobha specifically highlights the role of her teachers in developing her legal knowledge. Regular academic guidance helped her approach complex subjects with greater clarity and confidence.
• Preparation for competitive examinations: The combination of academic study, internships, and moot court experience gave her practical knowledge that she found useful while preparing for competitive examinations.

Speaking to current students, Shobha emphasises the importance of consistent effort and confidence:

“The best thing about Mody University is that the education here is the best. The teachers here give you the best knowledge of law, and the atmosphere here is also quite good and safe.” — Shobha Rani

Key Takeaway

Shobha Rani’s journey demonstrates how legal education, faculty guidance, internships, and moot court experience at Mody University helped build the academic and practical foundation she carried into competitive examination preparation and her subsequent judicial career in Uttar Pradesh.

How Mody University Delivers Exceptional Career Results

For a successful career, students also need opportunities to apply what they learn, explore different fields, and understand how their education connects with the professional world. At Mody University, we focus on creating this kind of learning experience through several elements.

1. Learning That Goes Beyond the Classroom

Students get opportunities to connect academic concepts with practical situations through projects, internships, technical activities, and other experiential learning opportunities. For law students, this includes activities such as moot courts and internships that can make legal concepts easier to understand and apply.

2. Exposure to International Opportunities

Mody University’s academic network extends beyond India, with collaborations with 20+ international universities. Such exposure can help students become familiar with different academic environments, cultures, and professional perspectives. Ayushi Jain’s experience at CERN and her later studies at Georgia Tech show how international opportunities can become part of a student’s longer academic journey.

3. Opportunities to Develop Leadership Skills

University life also gives students space to take responsibility outside their regular classes. Student organisations, technical societies, events and campus activities allow them to work with peers, manage responsibilities and develop communication and leadership skills.

4. A Strong and Diverse Alumnae Community

At Mody University, we have 10,000+ alumnae worldwide, working across different industries and professional roles. Their experiences provide current students with a broader view of what can follow after graduation. From banking and technology to entrepreneurship, healthcare and media, these career journeys show that there is no single route to professional success.

5. An Environment Designed for Women’s Education

The university’s 265-acre campus, equipped laboratories, ICT-enabled classrooms, residential facilities and an all-women learning environment provide students with space to study, participate and develop independently. A supportive campus environment can be particularly valuable during the transition from school to higher education, when students begin making important decisions about their future.

Final Thoughts 

The experiences students gain along the way can influence how they approach challenges, make career decisions, and adapt to new professional environments.

The journeys of Ayushi Jain and Shobha Rani show this from two different perspectives. Ayushi’s path from computer science education to international research, higher studies and data science, and Shobha’s journey from legal education to judicial service, reflect the different directions a university education can take.

Their experiences also highlight how internships, practical learning, student activities, faculty guidance, and exposure to new environments can gradually help students develop the knowledge and confidence they carry into their careers.

At Mody University of Science and Technology, we see our relationship with students as one that continues beyond graduation. Our alumnae remain an important part of the university community, and their experiences offer valuable perspectives to students who are still finding their own path.

Explore the opportunities and take the first step towards building an academic journey that supports your long-term career goals.
