Teerthanker Mahaveer University

Vice Chancellor Message

The statement "your future will be decided by what you do today" is so apt for everyone joining TMU. Your destiny will be shaped by what you do during the years you are with us. It's important to differentiate between earning a degree & learning. The academic processes of TMU are tailored to learning and skill development. Many years ago Albert Einstein said "the purpose of education is to develop thinking" and similarly Herbert Simon stated, "learning occurs from what the student does & thinks".

The biggest challenge for both, institutions and students is to take a detour from the traditional approach of rote learning & written examination which emphasized, for too long, recall & memorization, this approach stifled well-structured & creativity in universities. For decades, we have been functioning in classrooms like a trans-receiver system and evaluating students through "direct & single correct answer" questions which never tested learning & thinking. It was a test of memory.

We can assure you a different experience in TMU where you will deal with real-life problem situations. You will spend good amount of time in doing and thinking. The academic processes in TMU will equip you with skills & thinking to deal with both professional & personal lives. We have a well structured programme delivery mechanism that assures learning and well rounded personality. I am sure your experience will be unique & quite enriching thus preparing you to face real-life challenges in the future.

Wishing you all the best!
