Teaching

The key objective of my teaching is to enhance the skills of the students at both academic and professional level. In my opinion the major outcome of teaching is to provide a sound knowledge of the domain area to the students. This is important for their further qualifications and to compete with today’s industry requirements. I always enjoy teaching as my profession and I believe a teacher can play an important role in the society.
