<p class="MsoNormal">It is imperative for an individual to have a certain set of skills, knowledge, expertise, and desire to learn and be open to new ideas in order to succeed in such a complex environment. After having a self-evaluation, I have decided to pursue a career in academics. This decision followed naturally after carefully considering my academic background, my areas of interest, and my ultimate professional ambition, which is to pursue a research career either as a teaching faculty member or a full-time researcher in a think tank research institution.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During my BSc (Hons) in mathematics from Fergusson College, Pune, I equipped myself as best as I could with various mathematical theories and the development of mathematical tools. Later, I joined the MSc Mathematics at the University of Mumbai, which has provided me with a strong and comprehensive background in tools for the construction of theory and exploring open problems in mathematics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hold a doctoral degree in mathematics, where I completed an extensive program aligning coursework and original research work. Furthermore, during my PhD programme, I taught some courses on Engineering mathematics, graph theory, discrete mathematics, and linear algebra as a teaching assistant at the Department of Mathematics, Sharda University. I have high teaching and research skills with experience working with collaborative teams.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, I am working as an Assistant Professor in mathematics at the Noida Institute of Engineering and Technology, Greater Noida, India. I teach courses on Engineering Mathematics, Discrete Structures, Linear Algebra, Statistics and Probability, Optimization, and Numerical Techniques. Over the last two years, teaching an average of 210 students per semester, I consistently received positive feedback from students throughout my tenure with an average instructor feedback rating of 4.6 out of 5.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I enhanced some strategies and developed some self-assisting models, resulting in a 25% increase in student attendance and participation. Additionally, I closely monitored students&rsquo; progress with their improved applied approach and understanding of engineering mathematics. Furthermore, scheduling remedial classes and providing one-to-one guidance to mediocre and slow learners resulted in a 20% increase in their final grades.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to join NICMAR University Pune, a premier, esteemed institution, because of its reputation for teaching, research, and strong exposure that aligns with my abilities and skills. This position at your esteemed institution will foster my abilities in teaching, research, and academic growth as well.</p>
