“Ashoka’s graduate pool is among the best talent available in the country today. Not only do they add value to the organisations they join, but they also work towards taking those organisations a few notches higher through their efforts and contributions. They can wear different hats and multitask; they have the ability to take on significant tasks and challenges. They’re at the same time, leaders and team players. That’s what sets them apart.”

“The Ashoka student we recruited has truly been one of the best hires we have ever made. Part of the credit should go to the University. He was keen to learn and also contribute and make an impact on the organisation’s goals. Over the last year or so, I am delighted to say that he has excelled at almost every new task and challenge, and has fit into our culture seamlessly.”

Several cohorts of Ashoka graduates have joined Dr. Reddy’s over the last few years. We find them refreshingly different and broad in their outlook. The liberal Arts education provides them with an open mind and eagerness to learn and to look at problems from multiple dimensions. We also look forward to hiring the science graduates coming out of Ashoka as part of our research and technical talent pools.

A couple of years ago, I engaged a fresher from Ashoka for research. The output was very impressive and made it to the Indian Public Policy Review Journal. I have noticed that most of Ashoka students come with good analytical skills. This plays out well regardless of their role at Takshashila Institution.

They worked on all aspects of our projects – from training field staff for data collection to learning firsthand data management skills, and even participated in government meetings. Their enthusiasm to learn and eagerness to make a difference distinguishes them from their peers, and we have been glad to have had the opportunity to work with this group and continue our relationship.”

Students at Ashoka University completely align with our needs. The articulation and the way students approach a problem is unique and refreshing. Sometimes, framing and understanding the question is 90 per cent of the struggle, but they tackle this precisely, coherently and clearly.

“At IBM, we recognise that the future of IT requires a diverse set of skills that go beyond just technical expertise or Computer Sciences. Ashoka bridges the employability gap by having students learn from professors who are industry experts. This enables them to gain practical insights and learn from professionals who have hands-on experience in the field. Internships with leading corporations like IBM provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world challenges, engage with the finest professionals and develop a sense of purpose. This prepares them for a seamless transition into the industry.”
