The Institution believes in admitting rough diamonds and convert them as polished diamonds.

Founder of JAGSOM, Sanjay Padode, greeted students and their parents. In his address to the students, he said, "Inauguration Day signifies the initiation of a learning journey for each learner along with the faculty members. At JAGSOM, the whole teaching and learning is a two-way process where both the learners and the faculty learn from each other. In our institute, our students will be working with the best-in-class faculty, and will also experience the commitment that each faculty brings. We believe in liberating the learners, and what is required from the learners is to be open to the teachers, take the best out of them and work with them for a successful career. JAGSOM has a more difficult task in hand than just to give you your first job and that task will be to make you employable for a lifetime."
