Tell us something about yourself?

I am an MMS from Lala Lajpatrai Institute of Management Studies specialisation in Human Resources with two years teaching experience as well as co-ordinator.

Tell us something about your college?

Sydenham college is one of the oldest and first commerce college of Asia established in the year 1913, located at South Mumbai. The college’s motto is “Labor Omnia Vincit” (“Work conquers all”) and in Sanskrit, “samudyogo hi vishvajita” {Diligent Efforts Conquer the World}. The college is operated by the government of Maharashtra.

When did you join this profession? What inspired you to choose this line?

Teaching from the year 2009 in Sydenham itself gives immense pleasure to share knowledge with the younger generation and learning from the process.

As a Coordinator, do you also teach any subjects? If yes, which subjects you teach and which you love the most?

Subjects:

  • Human Resource Management
  • Principles of  Management
  • Entrepreneurship Management

Of the above, Human Resource management is the subject which I enjoy the most as one can use innovate techniques in imparting the knowledge to the students.

Who in your life has influenced the most?

There wasn’t anyone who really influenced me to get into teaching as it wasn’t pre-planned at all.

Tell us something about your college fests/events and extra-curricular activities?

Our Sydenham BMS holds a “CAREER FAIR” in the month Of January every year. This concept was introduced in the year 2004. The main motive behind this kind of an event is to provide detailed information regarding the various career options available to the students on under graduate level.

Do you believe that it should be made compulsory for students to manage both studies and be a part of college fests/events?

You cannot force anyone to do anything when one is not interested but yes students should take activate participation in such events as it teaches the true sense of management and the way things are handled at the corporate level.

Tell us something about your college students’ performances?

The students of Sydenham BMS have always been an all rounder, they have always taken activate participation in all the inter-college events. The recent participation was in the “India fest”, one of the best events happening every year.

What are your future plans for the college?

As a Government college, there are certain plans which cannot be disclosed.

Does your college provide any placement assistance to BMS students?

Yes, our college works very much for the placements for the third year and we do invite all the renowned companies like Ernst & Young, KPM, Edelweiss, JP Morgan etc.

Our placement cell comprises of students under the guidance of the faculty members who put in every possible effort to give the best to the college.

What are the prospects after BMS?

BMS is a course that moulds the personality of a student to face the outside world. It covers the function of management of being a true leader and thereby motivating oneself to deliver the best.

What message would you like to give to BMS students?

My message to all the BMS students will be “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”.
