What makes a computing graduate employable today?
"Technical knowledge is essential, but it is not enough. Students also need to explain their ideas, prepare for interviews, work with others, understand project expectations and keep learning as tools and technologies change."
What areas do you bring into the classroom?
"My academic and research interests include software requirement engineering, project management and big data engineering. These areas are closely connected to how data talks to each other, how they are managed, technology projects are scoped, built, managed and improved in real organisations."
How do you help students prepare for interviews and internships?
"I focus on both technical preparation and presentation. That includes helping students strengthen core topics such as SQL, diagrams and technical concepts, while also building the communication skills needed to represent their ideas clearly."
Why do soft skills matter in computing?
"A student may know the answer but still struggle to explain it. Employers need graduates who can present their thinking, communicate with teams and show confidence in the limited time of an interview or professional discussion."
How can students connect learning with industry?
"Through internships, industry visits, guest sessions, certifications and exposure to workplace tools and environments. I am also focused on building connections with IT organisations across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Surat."
