What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“Education drives towards changes”

Education is the mightiest weapon to bring changes in the life of the people. It is the only way to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. It gives you inner joy when you can do something in this sector that contributes to making this world a better place to live in by building careers. Cambridge Group of Institutions impart education from primary school to higher and technical education, including B.Ed, D.El.Ed., Polytechnic, B. Tech, M.Tech, and MBA. When thousands of students leave our campus with a vibrant career after completing their education, the feedback, the joy, leaves an everlasting impact. It in fact gives me the strength to do something better than whatever we have done in the past. 

What is your philosophy of leadership? How would you describe your leadership style?

“I believe leadership is being a facilitator – learner”

As a leader, you need to set the vision of what you as an organisation is trying to accomplish. And then, you create an environment and exercise for your people where they gain confidence, learning’s and belief to transform that vision into reality. Leading by example is a great way to show your commitment to your imagination. I feel almost enthusiastic about challenges, and hence, I do not focus on the problems, instead, on the challenges as new opportunities to develop unique solutions. This approach has helped to take our organisation to newer heights.

How does the curriculum of Cambridge Institute of Technology, Ranchi ensure the best practice of industry?

“We make sure that our curriculum is aligned with current industrial trends”

In the present educational system, the involvement of industries in curriculum design and delivery at Universities and institutions is significant, making the students job-ready. It will bridge the gap between the industry and institutions and will enable the students to become industry-ready. 

The curriculum at our affiliating University is completely framed based on the industry-driven demand. It is totally in line with the AICTE Model Syllabus. As best practices, we have eminent industry experts in our Academic Council, research and development cell and Industry Institute Interaction Cell (IIIC). Their contribution in developing the career of our students has really played a significant role in making them more employable. 

We regularly invite industry experts for Invited talks, training, workshops, conferences, webinars and various other related activities of skilling and training of students. With their guidance, our students work with projects of real-life challenges of the Industries. Based on their performance, our students are hired as interns, and finally, many of them get pre-placement offers. 

“If you look around our Fee structure and the quality of education which we deliver is at par, and this is the only reason that we are one of the preferred Institutions in the State of Jharkhand for almost two decades”

What do you think should be the University’s top priority over the next 10 years?

“Our students are our real asset”

We work on the motto of “Students First”.. They spent the hard-earned money of their parents. Most importantly, they spent their most precious time with us with a belief and hope to get a better and bright future. Hence, the ball remains in the court of the Institutions and Universities to return their investment with the best interests. It is in the form of an excellent job through campus placement and value-based education. In the coming ten years will prioritise to ensure better than the best campus placements, a big boost on entrepreneurship, more number of Engineering courses and branches, continuing ragging free environment and establishing at least 5-6 Centres of Excellence with lead private industries in different sectors.

How do you tend to establish a healthy relation and environment in your institute/ university?

“We take best care of our students to make them feel Home Away from Home” 

As an Institution, you have to be fully dedicated, sensitive towards the smallest issues, responsible and committed to make the students feel homely. Also, I personally believe that students need not be kept in a relaxed zone. Similarly, we also do not allow our teachers and staff to sit ideally, not for even a single moment. We keep them engaged every time working with and/for the students and their education, moral, psychological and social wellness. Our priority is also on maintaining a ragging free campus where senior and junior students work on similar projects at different levels. Such constructive engagements of students, teachers and staff always results in a healthy relation and environment in our Campuses.
