InsideIIM Professor of The Year 2020 - What IIM Rohtak Students Have To Say About Professor Ankur Jain
“His preparation for the class and how he has inculcated a sense of understanding for the subject amongst students is just amazing. The discussions initiated by the Professor help the students brainstorm with every aspect of the case and concept and hence, class involvement is the USP for his lectures. Such practices motivate the students to develop an interest in the subject.” "He understands what students actually wants and his teaching in itself is a wonderful experience. You won't realize that you are attending a lecture. You will have lot more fun with learning. There is not a single when at the end of his lecture, the whole class applauded. He is a legend personality and we all love him a lot.""He makes the classes interactive, takes feedback, deviates from the case if students are not getting engaged in it (like the case discussed on the next day of Diwali), changes the submission to individual (like the next day of Diwali) so that only those attending that day will submit and rest can make separate submissions later, asks not just case PPTs but also case scripts, role play etc. for some cases to increase students' interest, has good class PPTs, and he also discusses the quiz and exam solutions post the exam."“He is exactly the kind of Professor that good business schools need right now. Excellent knowledge and a lot of engaging discussion in class.”Here's what the Professor of The Year series is all about, and why it matters.
