Addressing the gathering, Registrar, Prof. M Afzal Zargar, said that during these programmes, the interaction with the experts, who have marched ahead in their respective fields, will give the students an experiential learning, besides the regular classroom teaching-learning. “The students should inquire from the experts about the challenges and difficulties faced by them while preparing for the competitive examinations and the subsequent measures they took, to overcome the same,” he said. Prof. Zargar asked the students to undertake a self-assessment before choosing any profession in their respective field of study.
In his speech, Dean SLS and Controller of Examinations, Prof. Farooq Ahmad Mir, said, the main objective of holding such programmes is to make the students, especially the girls to strongly believe that they have the potential to crack the competitive examinations and other interviews conducted by different agencies for providing employment. “If the experts present in the programme have done it, so can you,” he told the students. He further said, “Today these experts are an inspiration for you, tomorrow you can be an inspiration for others.”
