Will Your Institute Be Known for Numbers or Names?

Don’t showoff the average/median/highest package in your reports.

How many of your students are creating jobs? What difference are they making? What contributions have they made to advance their fields?

You fill an educational institution with the all-obeying students who have been consistent high performers in academics – and they will join the MNCs, the FAANG, the MBBs of the world.

So what? There are thousands who do this every year in batches and make good money for themselves.

The institutes should leave some room for outliers in their admissions process. These students will take the heat of misunderstandings, of low GPAs, of even being ridiculed by their peers – and yes, 95% of them might initially fail in their endeavours.

But eventually, they are the ones who push forward the brand of the institute when they succeed.

Don’t kill originality with conformity. You can play a role such that they succeed because of you, not despite you.

So don’t just encourage students to polish their CVs. Encourage them to step out of the norm sometimes, show some courage, and re-think things from the ground up.
