<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Nature of Work at GITAM University:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at GITAM University, I was actively involved in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses related to Construction Technology and Management, including subjects such as Project Planning and Control, Construction Materials, Building Services, and Sustainable Construction. My responsibilities included preparing course plans, delivering lectures, conducting laboratory sessions, mentoring students, guiding project work, and evaluating performance through assessments. I was also involved in curriculum development, academic audits, and departmental accreditation work. Additionally, I participated in faculty development programs and contributed to research through paper presentations and publications.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I consistently worked towards enhancing student engagement through interactive teaching methods, case studies, and industry-focused assignments. My role extended beyond the classroom, as I actively coordinated student development programs, technical fests, and industry interface initiatives to bridge academic learning with practical exposure.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Reason for Leaving:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">While GITAM University provided me with a strong platform to grow as an academician and educator, I am seeking a position that offers a more focused academic and research environment dedicated to construction management and allied disciplines. NICMAR&rsquo;s specialized commitment to education, research, and industry engagement in the field of construction aligns closely with my academic interests and long-term career goals. I am motivated to join an institution where I can contribute more intensively to domain-specific research, collaborate with industry experts, and mentor students who are exclusively focused on the construction and infrastructure sector.</p>
