Ashok Mittal, (Chancellor, lovely PRofessional University) Spotlights the need to change Academic Curricula to fit The Industry Requirements, in Conversation with Schweta Chaturved

Continued...On producing talent in India, he says one problem area calling attention is the mindset that children should study seriouslyonly till plus 2 and it is all fun in college. “It is just the opposite elsewhere. This ideology of the society needs to be changed. Institutes can do up to an extent but it is the internal motivation that needs to be brought in,” underlines Mr. Mittal. Also, it is essential for a student to understand that the examination system is to benchmark something to which industry can take a decision. However, during campus placements every student should know what he or she is capable of and what the job demands. If a student has done this exercise, he stands out, says Mr. Mittal. Besides, there are hosts of things required to groom a student. At LPU, skill development is an ongoing process that starts from day one. Elaborates Mr. Mittal, “LPU has set up a student centre which is more like a mall. It is one lakh sq ft area of shopping and is run by students. This gives student a testing ground to test his business ideas.”

LPU has faculty from various parts of India and abroad. Those from outside India need extra support so they are given a contact point for all their needs, he says and adds that faculty from outside is made to attend lectures of star faculty members on how to handle a class. LPU also has an HR and training department which is unique in itself, says he. If there is a requirement of a particular skill set, the department gets it arranged. There is also a quality assurance department which ensures students are satisfied. On how to promote faculty research, he says initially research needs a lot of money and resources, so industries should come forward to support it. Read More...
