"My dedication to upgrade my skills and share my knowledge with other have kept me intacted"

The element which keeps me connected with the education sector is my passion to spread my knowledge among others in order to help them create a better future for themselves. And I feel the education industry is one of the best industry to work, so you get a chance to contribute in nation growth by educating youths, your own personality develop in the whole journey as you need to regularly upgrade your skills, above all your students achieve new heights which is the most satisfactory and rewarding thing of working with this industry. 

Being the Director of IIHM, what is your philosophy of leadership?

"I have given autonomy to my students and faculty to experiment with their ideas to help them grow"

As a Director of IIHM, my responsibility is to plan effective techniques to implement better teaching pedagogies for the benefit of students. Also I need to maintain sync between our students, teachers and staff members. And I believe true leadership is when you allow others to speak, give them freedom to experiment with their ideas and guide them without doubting their skills whenever they get stuck somewhere. And hence I offer an amazing work-learning culture, keep the ambiance competitive and enforce teamwork so that my team can give their best at every level. 

How does the curriculum of your Institute ensure the best practices of industry?

"It is implemented by our faculties who have rich industry and academic experience"

We have an amazing team of qualified and experienced mentors who provide best knowledge and skills to students by rigorously implementing the curriculum, giving their suggestions for what new programs or training should be included in it, followed by regular experiments and personality development sessions. Also we give more emphasis on enhancing practical knowledge of students as theory alone is not sufficient to upskill themselves as per ever changing industry requirements.

How is your institute more welcoming to students of different races or economic backgrounds?

"We offer fee waiver to eligible students and there is no admission fee for female candidates"

In our college we don't charge any admission fee from girls students and also provide fee concessions to those who perform exceptionally well in exams. Also the fee of our courses is affordable because our main objective is to make education accessible for all. Lastly, any kind of inequality is strictly prohibited in our college and strict provisions are there if anyone is caught doing so.

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

In my opinion, we should work towards improving our education quality, enhancing industrial exposure for students and bringing the best training and internships for them, so that we can achieve our goal of ensuring maximum placements and overall students satisfaction.
