Assistant Professor, Regional College of Management, Bhubaneswar and PhD Scholar, KIIT University (Batch 2024)
During my MA, I was privileged to be shaped by a curriculum that constantly urged me to think beyond the surface. It is here that I learned the rare and valuable habit of questioning everything, even at times, my own certainties, that later enabled me to qualify UGC NET for Assistant Professor.

The supportive faculty, diverse student body and a rigorous academic curriculum at the School fostered an environment of growth and exploration.
