UMA honoured for excellence

The academy was honoured by the university for its new enrolments in the courses offered by PTU under its distance education department and for overall academic performance by its students in 2011.

“UMA intends to recruit and retain outstanding faculty and graduate students and introduce new courses, while enhancing its core capabilities and signature courses,” said Dr. Pandey.

“UMA imparts not only quality education but also a sound personal-value base for professionals,” said Dr. Pandey.

The academy is unique in that it is industry driven, he mentioned, and has a pool of outstanding faculties from various institutions across the country.

The UMA culture aims at creating a cohesive relationship between the mentor and student, said Dr. Pandey, creating an environment of collaborative and blended learning.

Dr. Pandey also noted that- “UMA has the distinction of a faculty that blends academic rigor with rich industry experience.” Teaching methods are “a mix of advanced conceptual inputs in the form of lectures, group discussions, case studies etc.”

Dr. Pandey stressed “Knowledge without integrity is dangerous and integrity without knowledge is useless - you need both and UMA will certainly show you the way. In UMA we don’t do miracles, we try to do small things which are within our reach but definitely resulting in big changes and learning.” UMA’s philosophy is: The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice and the fifth teaching others.
