Expert Interviews: Insights from Professors at India's Best Universities
INTRODUCTION
It's quite uncommon for us to perceive an educational institution from an educator's perspective. We often regard them as mere providers of knowledge, overlooking the fact that they are individuals with well-informed viewpoints, extensive experience, and a keen ability to identify both outstanding students and reputable colleges.
In this article, we get to talk to professors from one of India’s best universities, Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University in Gurugram, Haryana, and ask them about their background, how they landed up at SGTU, and what they like about their current place of work. The names were promised to be kept anonymous in order to ensure honesty in the answers.
Their words were illuminating and should help you all understand what a top-notch university really looks like and what to look out for when applying to a college yourself.
TESTIMONIES
1)     Name: Professor X
Years of Experience: 24
Program taught at: Faculty of Engineering and Technology
SGT University is not just a workplace; it's a vibrant academic ecosystem that encourages growth and excellence. I am glad to have found my way here, after spending nearly two decades in the corporate sector as a Systems Engineer. Aside from getting the opportunity to teach some amazing young minds, the university allowed me to complete a Ph.D. and fully pursue my research interests, which I never thought was possible after all this time. The strong support from my colleagues has made my experience here even more fulfilling. I can proudly say that I am contributing and growing at the best engineering university in Haryana.
2)     Name: Professor C
Years of Experience: 12
Program taught at: Faculty of Indian Medical System
It was a bold step for people like me to pursue a career in Ayurveda, even a decade ago, when it was still not given the respect it deserved as a field of science. When institutions like SGT University decided to introduce a whole new wing dedicated to Ayurveda, I immediately decided to jump ship from practicing to educating. The institution's commitment to academic excellence is evident in every aspect of its operations. Both faculty and students receive unmatched assistance and resources. I am so happy to have been here since the program's inception and to have watched us develop into the best Ayurveda university in Delhi-NCR and the best BAMS university in Haryana.
3)     Name: Professor P
Years of Experience: 34
Program taught at: Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management
It's an absolute pleasure to be a part of one of the best hotel management colleges in Gurgaon, SGT University. I have grown to greatly value the university's unwavering dedication to developing its students into industry leaders. Our state-of-the-art mock facilities, culinary labs, and industry partnerships have allowed me to provide our students with real-world insights and practical skills that are highly sought after in the hospitality sector. I never thought I would enjoy teaching so much, but with the brilliant aspirants at SGTU, it is just ever so easy.
4)     Name: Professor N
Years of Experience: 16
The program taught at: Faculty of Fashion and Design
Working for a top design house all those years, the favorite part of the job for me was being able to guide all the interns that used to work with us. Teaching them about the workings of the industry never got repetitive or boring for me. In a way, I was always meant to be an educator, and I am very happy that I got this opportunity at one of the best fashion design colleges in Haryana. I am honored to work for a university that is influencing the direction of the fashion industry and turning out designers who are imaginative, socially responsible, and ready to leave their mark.
CONCLUSION
A career as a teacher has its stresses, but it can be extremely rewarding too, especially if done with the right institution. Seeing the extensive experience of the educators here, combined with all the resources available to them, it is of little surprise that SGTU is looked at by many as one of the best universities in India.
