Principal

We are looking for a leader who will own the overall vision, growth, and performance of the campus, not just its day-to-day academics. Along with strong leadership experience, the candidate must have real, hands-on experience with liberal education — the modern teaching style used by new-age institutes, where students learn through discussion, projects, and real-world exposure instead of only textbooks and lectures. This experience is essential for the role.

Academic Vision & Pedagogy

  • Introduce a liberal, modern style of teaching — discussion-based classes, projects, and real-world learning instead of only lectures and textbooks.
  • Lead and guide the academic direction of the campus across all schools.
  • Ensure the college follows all rules and standards set by MAKAUT, AICTE, and NAAC and drive the institution towards being Autonomous.

People & Faculty

  • Hire, guide, and support faculty and senior staff; build a strong leadership team under you.
  • Encourage and hire teachers with industry or practical experience.
  • Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and performance across the organisation.

Business, Brand & Growth
