What I expect from IIITM,gwalior


Note: IIITM recently published its 2nd edition of the alumni magzine IIITM-OUR ALMA MATER. All "industry ambassdors" of each branch were told to submit an article on the above mentioned topic so that it may be printed in the same. When the magzine came out i was more than glad to see that out of whole Mtech only my article was published. thanks to ravi as well who helped me in the same.here is the article for everyone to read. this is what i actually expect from IIITM.

It wasn’t a tough decision for me at the outset to opt for IIITM Gwalior as a choice to pursue my MTech education. IIITM’s reputation of being an apex technology institute formed by the Govt of India and being a strong brand helped me in my decision. Today a month after I joined, I feel happy for my choice.

IIITM being run by a team of proficient veterans promises to churn out able technology leaders of tomorrow. I imagine myself as a finished product coming out of the college after a couple of years with requisite skills and expertise; and rise to the challenge in the world of IT industry. As IIITM’s vision is to achieve global excellence in knowledge economy, I want to committ myself to this shared vision. I believe this institute will provide me requisite support to realise this vision.

Along with technical expertise, I also want to learn human relations and managerial skills. It has been a concern in India that Indian workforce are technically sound but when it comes to man management, a lot is left to be desired. Therefore, I also hope IIITM provides me ample scope to improve my man management skills and managerial abilities in general.

The kind of opportunites that IIITM has already provided me in this short span, I am confident I will grow individually as a person and make the institue proud with my accomplishments. As our respected Director sir has already said, “Peer to peer learning is the back bone of IIITM”, I also believe I will draw from the experiences and interactions from my fellow mates and faculties to grow into a true professional.

I expect the faculty here not to be just the faculty but to be the life mentors to us and guide us through not just within this two years but all through our lifetime, whenever we need their advice.
