My vision is rooted in actionable results, transparency, and amplifying your voices.

During my time in the Academic Committee, I have consistently worked to improve our student experience. My previous work includes:

  • Elective Registration: Facilitated better communication and a smoother allocation process between students and authorities.
  • MOOC Integration: Successfully helped offer MOOC courses for ICT students for the first time in our institute's history.

  • Grading Transparency: Collaborated with the committee to advocate for a clear, transparent grading policy and standardized evaluation criteria across all courses.

  • Timetable Optimization: Resolved issues with proposed schedules and helped formulate lab timetables for both the Autumn and Winter semesters.

  • Curriculum Review: Pushed for student involvement in drafting the new curriculum by studying peer institute policies and consulting alumni and organizing sessions involving the entire batch.

Building on this foundation, I have clear, achievable goals for the upcoming term. My new proposals are:

  • Increase in Seat Capping: With the increase in number of students in new batches, there is severe shortage of seats in electives especially in the Autumn Semesters. Hence the requirement of the increment.

  • Standardized Relative Grading: Implementing a uniform relative grading policy for all core courses across the institute.

  • Enhanced Feedback Loops: Establishing a robust, two-way feedback system involving both students and professors to ensure continuous academic improvement.

I am committed to building a more vibrant, inclusive, and supportive campus environment.
