In this age of a fast-changing educational scenario, new universities are challenged to accommodate not only a growing campus, but also rising costs on campus which increase exponentially each year, says Dr Ashok Gupta, Vice Chancellor, IIS University, in an interview with Elets News Network (ENN) and shares much more.
Considering the existing competition and changing times, what prominent challenges a private university like yours is faced with?
IIS University constantly strategises to become more flexible to attract best students in a highly competitive market, assessing their position and mapping the segments most important to them.

It follows a stringent recruitment procedure to ensure that the faculty members keep up the robust academics thereby ensuring the much-needed rigour in the programmes on offer. In addition, career advancement for faculty members is linked to professional competencies combined with their involvement in and contribution to the corporate life on campus.
