How does your college prepare students for this competitive world?
“By inculcating right values and education at right time”
As educators, we constantly strive to prepare our students for the real world that exists around them. We teach them how to read, write, and calculate. Then, of course, there are the less tangible skills we teach; such as how to work in a team, think critically, and be curious about the things they encounter each day.
How do you bring in a practical and industry-oriented approach towards subjects?
“I do use the method of co-curricular subjects studies”
To enforce a practical and industry-oriented approach in our teaching, I use the concept of co-curricular subjects where students learn about crucial concepts of personality development, career guidance, health and physical education, information and communication technology and NCC. This kind of methodology helps me to prepare my students for future challenges they might face in the corporate world.
What are the approaches you bring in apart from curriculum to teach students?
“I adjust my teaching technique and communication techniques as required”
I use a few specific interventions such as maintaining a healthy and cordial relationship with my students, preparing them and simultaneously adjusting my way of inculcating best education and values in them, managing sensory stimulation, changing communication strategies, providing prompts and cues, using a teacher, review, and reteach process and developing social skills to teach them apart from curriculum.

Skills and not degrees may be the reality of the future.
