<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently working as a Contractual Faculty at NIT Hamirpur (2025&ndash;present), where I have been actively involved in both teaching and research activities. I handle a diverse set of courses including Disaster Management (CE-302), Railways, Airports and Waterways (CE-363), Engineering Graphics (CE-101), and Structural Drawing (CE-324). Along with theory courses, I also conduct laboratories such as Environmental Engineering Lab (CE-325), Soil Mechanics Lab (CE-227), and Hydraulics Lab (CE-214).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Teaching across these subjects has given me the opportunity to interact with students from different years and specializations, which I truly enjoy. I find it rewarding to see students gradually connect classroom concepts with practical engineering problems. In addition to teaching, I am also serving as a co-guide for an M.Tech project titled &ldquo;Role of Commuter Perceptions and Contextual Dynamics in Off-Street Parking Choice and Demand.&rdquo; This allows me to stay closely engaged with research and mentor students in analytical thinking and scientific writing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I genuinely value my experience at NIT Hamirpur. It has helped me grow as a teacher, researcher, and mentor. However, since my current role is contractual in nature, it does not offer long-term academic stability or the opportunity to systematically build a sustained research program. At this stage of my career, I am looking for a permanent position in a prestigious institution like NICMAR University, where I can fully invest my efforts in developing strong teaching practices, building a focused research group, and contributing to institutional growth over the long term.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My decision to seek a new opportunity is therefore not about dissatisfaction, but about professional growth and stability. I am eager to work in an environment where I can excel in both teaching and research, take up larger academic responsibilities, and contribute meaningfully to the institution&rsquo;s long-term vision</p>
