In our current education ecosystem, there are three stakeholders on campus: students, faculty, and university management. However, these three stakeholders work independently of each other. Interestingly, all three are very much aligned with the industry at their own levels. This is not a good scenario as far as preparing industry-ready talent from our campuses is concerned.
The university management does a lot of interventions to make students industry-ready. They bring industry captains on board to guide them, revamp program curriculum to suit industry requirements, and bring good infrastructure to support outcome-based education through smart classrooms and futuristic ERPs. However, they are “pushing” their own thought-process and agenda on students in a monologue manner. They push towards the students whatever they feel is right for them.
Similarly, faculty members “push” their knowledge to their students in a monologue manner. They are least bothered to see the learning requirements of the diverse group of students they are teaching. They just deliver lectures.
In this ecosystem, students are being pushed by university management and faculty members throughout their stay on campus. No one in the system is bothered to ask students about their career aspirations and align their efforts to help students meet their aspirations.
We have conceptualized Mystik Minds to align the education system from “push” mechanism to “pull” mechanism where students’ career aspirations are being “pulled” by the university management and faculty. They align all their efforts towards helping students meet their aspirations. University management is already putting a lot of financial resources into the system but now they need to move from push to pull mechanism. Faculty must realign their efforts.
