• How did you enter this profession of teaching and training?

I always like teaching. After doing BA , I did Master of Labour studies from Maharashtra Institute of Labour studies. My teacher Prof. Radhika Ramasuman had always encouraged me and told me that I could be a great teacher.

• Being a coordinator, do you also teach any subjects?

Yes, the main reason, I entered this profession was for my flair for teaching. I do teach subjects like SOCIOLOGY but I share it with another professor because being a coordinator, I also get tied up in a lot of other administrative related work

• And now as a Coordinator how are the responsibilities different from that of a Teacher?

As a teacher, you teach. Some kinds of ethics are important as a teacher to oneself. I am teaching because I have a passion for it. Being a coordinator you have to shoulder many responsibilities and als o the development of the course rests on your shoulders to a very great extent.

• What are your future plans for the college?

We want to motivate students to become responsible media people. And that’s the reason we have a weeklong orientation for our first year students in order to help them guage through the basics of MEDIA. In this they get to know,what they have to do for the next 3 years.

• What are the extra curricular activities in your college?

Our festival malhar is already very popular and it is organized by all the sections of the XAVIERS society. Also we conduct workshops for our students in which they get to learn more in-depth on media. The workshop is called Media week normally happens in December. We aim to give max to students beyond theoretical knowledge via these kind of workshops.

• How has the mindset of the students changed over the years in respect of their career and their values of discipline and culture?

Caliber of students is very focused. Many students know about the course, but I find somewhere down the line that patience and tolerance is somewhat missing in  the youth of today.

 

• And as a person what is your mission, long-term objective or goal?

To make BMM  the best course, Promote Media responsibly.

 

• Is there any placement assistance that the college provides after students graduate from your college?

Yes, we do have a placement cell that looks after the placement for the entire college including BMM

 

 

• And if a student has failed to secure admission into your college by say 2 or 3 marks, then is there any other way that he can get in or any quota?

Yes, there are various quotas like sports and others. We do not accept a penny as donation and sell seats.

• What are the prospects after BMM?

After BMM, one can join in an ad agency or some production house or some good journalism project

• Any piece of advice for students?

Media is very influential. The youth must take this up and enlighten the minds of people. YOU can make or break a person .So, please act responsibly!!
