Provide Global Experience to Students
VIT recognizes the need to produce graduates with strong technical
background and professional knowledge, who are ready to become leaders in
industry. VIT also recognizes the need to prepare the graduates to be global
players. It is a major challenge involving large scale student exchange, support
for faculty to be associated with international institutions and meeting the
resource requirements for providing global experience to students.
Keep the Faculty in the Forefront of their Profession
Technical and professional competencies are important for the faculty to be in
the forefront of their profession. Faculty development, engagement with
industry and international partners, and sustained scholarly exchange are
essential aspects of being in the forefront. VIT’s challenge is to ensure that the
faculty members are the best in their profession.
Provide Resources for Sustained Growth
For a growing institution with global aspirations, the challenge is to provide
resources for its sustained growth. Qualified faculty members, recognized
academic programs, outstanding student services, and research and teaching
output that are considered among the best can only be achieved only with
sufficient resources. VIT’s challenge is to provide such resources as it grows
from its current position. It is a challenge that the university is well prepared
to face.
