Q.You are the visiting faulty of many
institutes. So can you please share your experience and what is the advice you
would like to give to our students?
A.I
have been coming here since 2006 and i have seen a definite improvement here in
almost every field, the campus, the brilliance level of students and I have
also seen improving the ranking of this institute. My only advice would be that they should
attend their classes regularly.
Q.You were the CEO of VANTAGE
International...so could you share your experience?
A.Yes,
I was Industry man ... I came to pedagogy out of choice. I find corporate world
is more result oriented than academics. I'm happy with what I'm doing.
Q.But sir you regret that you have to
leave corporate sector?
A.I
regret only because remuneration were much higher than Academics, but somewhere
one has to stop thinking of monetary benefits. It’s always good to interact
with students. You learn many things from these youngsters.
Q.So Sir are you are enjoying this
profession?
A.Yes,
I enjoy interacting with youngsters and I learn a lot from them. Their requirements
are every time different than I used to have as a youngster...they are much
more brilliant than I was at their age... so interacting with them always gives
me pleasure.
Q.May I know how your views changed
from earlier life as compared to now?
A.See
there's nothing called changing the views... you are living in a different era
and I lived in a different era... your requirements are many a times different
than mine. You have many facilities that weren't existing during my times...so
the pattern of living has changed.. I used to travel a lot.. i never had
connecting flights that time... you have
projector in your classroom, we had that black and white OHP projector. Many
Management books weren't available that time. So you are a new generation. Your requirements
are different. So things have changed.
Q.What are your views on top
managerial institutes, and what changes we should incorporate to compete with the
international ones?
A.Basically
an institute is made a top institute by students only; no one else has any
contribution to that. The disciplinary committee, director or faculty can only establish
systems. For example some top institutes have minimum attendance required that
is hundred percent, you may laugh at it
but they follow it. So these things make an institute a top institute.
It is students who make or break an institute. All students are given the same
input in the classroom; some endure to perform better, so it is the student’s
job or students activities, which makes a institute great. Everyone wishes to
go to IIM’s , everyone puts in effort to keep its name and rankings .So you
also do that , make a conscious effort ,
make sure you come regularly to class .
When you do that, your institute can get a good ranking, if it has a good
ranking it will further go up and help students in better placements.
Q.You have done BSc in chemistry,
masters in organic, but PhD in marketing. So sir what was the reason behind changing
your stream.
A. First
of all PhD degree increases your horizon. You have to put research in practice,
and then it is a mandatory requirement, if you have to go to teaching. As a
faculty you have to handle various research projects today, so if you yourself
have not done it then how will you handle those projects. In our time it was like,
more students from science stream will go on to do MBA.
Q.Sir we being students of information
technology what advice would you like to give to us to develop our managerial skills.
A.See
efficiency and effectiveness are the two parameters that differentiate
management from other professions. So be efficient and effective in
whatever you do.
Q.Sir, what is the tag line that you
would like to give to our institute?
A.Work
hard and see the miracle.
