    In the interaction session with MBA students, there was animated discussion on placement tips and role of incubation cell in shaping and nurturing new ideas. In his interaction with faculty members of School of Management, he detailed changes evolving in teaching pedagogy with online courses and experiential learning supplementing class room teaching. Dr. Raghuram also stressed on the need for protecting non-teaching time of faculty members for pre class teaching preparation and research in their area of work.  He highlighted on the need for developing intensive reading and writing as it structures the mind, and enriches the classroom experience.

    Dwelling upon technical teaching, he compared ‘Theory to Practice’ orientation in his Under Graduate studies in IIT system, as compared to ‘Practice to Concept’ method of teaching in management courses.

    A practical tip given by him was to team up with foreign authors in journal papers for publishing in higher rated journals.

    He also suggested faculty attendance at pan IIM Conference at IIM Rohtak wherein paper writing workshops would be held.

    He stressed the need for domain specific journals emerging from India.
