The education is no more a process of learning or cramming theoretical concepts, globally. It is more about developing competence, confidence and collaborative approach so that the student can contribute to the bottom line of the organization. Realizing this trend in education, Gujarat University has now come up in the Online Courses of Personal Competency Enhancement. Gujarat University approved the international curriculum of IIMT Studies UK, which offers corporate culture taught to the students of the university along with their existing programme on an online learning platform to hone the Students’ managerial and leadership competence and make them corporate ready.

The world will value only those students and professionals who are mentored by eminent academics and industry stalwarts and who continuously upgrade their knowledge and skills through global educational and development programmes. Keeping this in mind, I envision Gujarat University to undergo a transition from Speciality to Versatility.

 A famous British politician and author from the 19th century – Benjamin Disraeli, once said ‘A University should be a place of light, of liberty and of learning’. Centuries later this dictum still inspires me, and I believe, it takes innovative ideas, improved product range and committed management to build successful institutions

There has been a great spurt in the number of universities and colleges catering to millions of aspirants. In fact, this has been a very important moment for us, at Gujarat University, in taking important and far reaching decisions to provide what is much needed for the students of the country. We at Gujarat University are aware of the vision of our Hon Prime Minister to make our country, a knowledge based super power in the next decade two. With this in view, we have stepped in to meet the present-day academic milieu for the student community. The idea is to create opportunities in various fields by incorporating latest specialties of learning, which would cater to the critical needs of the industry and economy. The needs of the industries is changing rapidly in more than one ways which in turn have a profound impact on the roles of academic institutions like Gujarat University. One of the impacts is to create a congenial environment for a holistic and all-round development of students thru some innovative learning platforms and programs thru an external expert in respective area.

The Joint Certification Program in Competency Enhancement is one such unique initiative under the leadership of our Hon Vice Chancellor Prof Dr H A Pandya. This unique program is designed in collaboration with industry experts under the banner of IIMT Studies Ltd. UK which has got an expertise of such programs. IIMTS UK is an award-winning institute and has been associated as knowledge partner with The M S University of Vadodara, the corporate body CII Chennai and Management Institutions like BDMA. The icing on the cake is few selected students fulfilling merit requirements will be getting an opportunity of a 05 days learning opportunity thru globally acclaimed faculties in London UK at no extra cost, as a bonus, under this program.

It’s really a great opportunity for our students that such global learning thru a blended learning model on a virtual platform is available at the doorstep. I would advise our students to grab this opportunity with both their hands and make the best out of it.

I am very pleased to be part of the core committee under our Hon Vice Chancellor to monitor and drive this unique program and I am sure our students will make the best out of this opportunity and start their corporate career with an advantage over other students.
