What the Professor of The Year series is all about, and why it matters.
The following are professors at IIM Shillong who just missed out on winning the title of InsideIIM's Professor of The Year in 2020, but are loved by IIM Shillong students:
“He created the real difference in learning for us when it came to our hectic schedule of courses of MBA. He made us realise that it’s more important to learn to master oneself before we master skills of operations and finance or marketing etc. to be a great manager is not to be about skilled in a domain, but to be able to understand oneself and curate yourself to your interests, through which you automatically become the best in that skill you wish to gain.
It was my first time studying in such an environment, where there was self learning more than rote learning, where in my all three semesters here, and my under graduation or my schooling years, I had seen for the very first time where every student of the class looked forward to attend that class, and rarely someone missed those. It truly was an experience more than just a semester credit course for us, where I think all of us grew as individuals and found out how we can align ourselves to the life we want. It really is an experience I wish we could gain more of, and I really hope sir gives us an elective course of his in the second year. Until then I find myself in a better position than I was before that course, something that really felt like “real” learning from an MBA course, and I guess that’s what is one of the reasons of doing an MBA.”
"He is an amazing faculty, guide and mentor. He can reach the depth of any subject and present it in a concise format. Most importantly, he is a genuine and amazing human being."
- Professor Harshvardhan Samalia
“He takes so many pains while teaching a subject. The whole class is so interactive in his class”.
"Clear articulation of concepts, practical learning and vibrant class environment".
