There is a shortage of eminent professors at bachelors’ level management. With more and more institutes joining the professional courses bandwagon, do you think professional / self-financing courses will become yet another boom?

ANS: Yes and No. Yes, because every passing day we are seeing more and more students wanting to involve themselves in Management courses because it helps them understand the business world and face completion. No, because there is a shortage of eminent professors which results in deteriorating the quality of the course.

Today, we often come across students committing suicide out of failure, depression or tension of exams. What do you have to say about this?

ANS: This is one reason why professors should be friendly with student so that students feel free to discuss their academic problems. Parents should be more understanding and should not treat their children as if they are running a horse race.

Who would you call as the best student so far in your memory?

ANS: I’ve seen a couple of students whom I can call as best students but if I have to specify then I would like to mention Sunil Baman.  He used to ask difficult questions which encouraged me to put more efforts and enhance my knowledge.

One touching incident that happened with you in your teaching career?

ANS: When I was very new in this profession many students appreciated me in front of other faculty members .This has been my most memorable moment.

What message would you like to give to the young students?

ANS: I would like to tell all the students that try to gain knowledge and not just good marks.

In this competitive world many people lack behind due to insufficient knowledge.
