Message from Dr. R.K. Patra

I would like to give some suggestions, which you may like to
discuss and take necessary steps.
1. Director should be an eminent academician and not a
politician. I want to say that he should be a
competent personality.
2. Overhauling in teaching staff is required. Means,
in an educational institute- three things are vital (1)
Input i.e. student - fortunately students' quality in
MANIT are the best. They needs proper guidance.
Guidance only possible, if the teacher is competent.
(2) The process i.e. teacher. You know better the
quality of teacher reigning in MANIT. Except politics
and politics, most of the teachers are having no
market value. They want to save their skins by doing
all the nuisance activities.
(3) Output i.e. placement. The students are getting
placement by their own merit, and what I feel,
Institutes contribution is almost nil, except
inviting some good companies. You know that NIT
students are the cream, and selected corporates prefer
to visit campus.
Since I was associated in placement, most of the
corporates feedback was surprising.
We have the best infrastructure, but most of the
faculties does not know to use and guide the students.
The most important thing is is the root cause of
collapse of MANIT machinery is involvement of
self-interest of few so-called alumni in the
administration. They know the weak points of
Director, faculty and encashing the same by
influencing their power.
You can see the recent recruitment of faculty members.
The quality. What you can expect from them. I can
challenge, if they go to market, their applications will
be rejected.
These are few my personal observations, which you may
like to share.
Regards
(Dr. R.K. PATRA)

politician.....
