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

“Making sure to include everyone in my decision-making process”

Leadership for me is to create positive thinking and a positive attitude among all the students, faculty members, and staff. I believe in teamwork. As a leader I am always ready to take responsibility for failures and ready to give credit to the team for success. In SU, we allow students to come forward and take responsibility for conducting various cultural and academic activities under the guidance of faculty. 

How does the curriculum of Starex University ensure best practice in the industry?

“Keeping at par with the industrial needs”

In SU we follow a Choice based credit system which opens students to various subjects. We also introduced the dissertation system in PG classes where students do their project work in Industries for 6 months. This will help students to work with real scenarios of industries. We design the syllabus for technical courses with the help of industry so that we can fill the bridge between university teaching and industry requirements.

What do you think your roles & responsibilities are to university & students?

“Facilitating a healthy environment without stagnation”

As Dean of academics, my first duty is to provide a good teaching- learning atmosphere to the faculty and students. I implemented a flexible system of teaching. Keeping this pandemic situation in mind various online platforms are being adopted to create effective teaching. The main emphasis of SU is to focus on the overall development of students. University ensures to bridge the gap between theory and practical application of concepts through a multidisciplinary learning process.
