<p>I wish to join NICMAR because I see it as an institution where my academic experience, technology background, and passion for applied learning can come together meaningfully. Over the years, I have developed a strong belief that education in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, and Business Technology should not remain limited to theoretical instruction. It must prepare students to solve real-world problems, interpret data for decision-making, and confidently engage with industry expectations. NICMAR&rsquo;s practice-oriented academic environment and its strong industry interface make it an ideal place for me to contribute and grow.</p>
<p>With more than two decades of academic and technical experience, I have worked extensively in teaching, mentoring, curriculum support, academic administration, and quality initiatives. My journey across Information Technology, Data Science, and Analytics has enabled me to understand both the technical depth and managerial relevance of these domains. I have taught postgraduate students in subjects such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Advanced Data Management, MySQL, Optimization Techniques, and Analytics-related courses. This experience has strengthened my ability to deliver concepts in a structured, student-centric, and application-driven manner.</p>
<p>What particularly attracts me to NICMAR is its emphasis on academic excellence, research, innovation, and industry-academia collaboration. I strongly relate to this vision. I enjoy updating course content, adopting innovative pedagogies, and using tools and technologies that improve the learning experience. I believe that subjects like Data Analytics, Spreadsheet Modelling, Data Visualization, and Power BI are best taught through hands-on exercises, live datasets, business cases, and project-based learning. I would be happy to contribute toward curriculum enhancement in these domains while helping students build strong analytical and employability skills.</p>
<p>I am also keen to contribute to NICMAR beyond classroom teaching. My academic journey has included responsibilities such as leading academic departments, serving in quality assurance and examination roles, participating in Board of Studies activities, and organizing conferences and faculty development initiatives. Alongside teaching, I have remained engaged with research and publication, and as a PhD scholar, I am motivated to deepen my work further through meaningful research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and industry-linked projects. I also value mentoring students closely, guiding them in academic growth, project work, and career readiness.</p>
<p>For me, joining NICMAR would not just be a career move; it would be an opportunity to become part of an institution that values relevance, rigor, innovation, and impact. I would be honored to contribute my experience, commitment, and enthusiasm to NICMAR&rsquo;s academic community and to support its mission of shaping capable, future-ready professionals.</p>
