Mr. Umesh

You have held key positions at education institutes throughout your professional career. What keeps you connected with the Education Sector and how has your experience been so far with the institute?

Exceptional and fulfilling experiences have characterized my career. In particular, the educational community’s quest for knowledge has greatly helped my professional development.

Their devotion to continuous education has sourced a very engaging and nurturing environment within which I have been able to develop my skills and knowledge.

Being the Head of Admissions of LNCT what are your roles and responsibilities towards the students?

To maintain and carry out students’ studies and the life cycle of the entire course, I handle several important functions. These are the control of the admission, conduction of enrollment procedures, commencement of batches, carrying out detailed document verification, and holding of extensive college induction activities. This helps to keep working conditions for the new students easy and effective as well as their academic experience gratifying and productive.

How do you try to bring in practical approach towards subjects and make it industry oriented?

By adding industry-relevant curricula with industrial visits and practical assignments, we want to combine theoretical knowledge and its practical implications. This way, the students receive a very valuable experience of the real-life processes also they learn the application of the knowledge they have learned in the classroom to the real work environment. This is not only used to give a better understanding of the material but it also gives them the chance to be more effective later in their career.

What are the interventions and approaches you bring in apart from curriculum to train/teach the students?

Teaming up with top companies and pioneers has allowed our students to put their knowledge into practice. These partnerships let us offer real work experiences.
