INVERTIS UNIVERSITY- THE HARBINGERS OF HOPE IN BAREILLY
Gone are days when Bareilly was famous for mere a “Jhumka” song and having meandering narrow alleys decorated with arrays of handcraft materials and jewelleries. There are number of colleges in the city to form a symbolic chain of educational sites and offer a wide spectrum of educational learning for the seekers. Bareilly has decks clear in order to become an educational hub for the development and betterment of India in the upcoming future. Bareilly is a home to some of the ever budding and growing educational sector and enriching nation’s treasured resource of dedicated and highly-qualified set of smart and dedicated personalities. It is comprised of several reputed institutions as like ‘Invertis University’, ‘Prem Prakash Gupta Institute of engineering and management(PPGIEM)’, ‘Rajshree Institute of Management and Technology’, ‘Shri Rammurti Smarak College of Engineering and Technology’, ‘ANA College of Engineering and Management’, ‘Future Institute of Engineering and Technology’, ‘Lotus Institute of Management’, ‘Rakshpal Bahadur College of Engineering and Technology’, ‘Shree Jeet Ram Smarak Institute of Engineering and Technology’ and many more. The owners and founders of these institutes are people with whom we can closely connect ourselves as they are somewhat like you and me. Above all these people are very simple in nature and neither show-off nor swell with pride and do self-boast about themselves. They are those middle-class families who thought something out-of-the-box as like setting up educational institutes in a small and developing city like Bareilly. The state of Uttar Pradesh since time immemorial have been the custodian of enriched knowledge and is a home to some of the exceptionally good and worldwide renowned institutes and colleges within their boundaries. It is genuinely an interesting idea to present the educational profile of one of the prominent city of voracious and intellectual readers. I take the pride to express my heartfelt gratitude in advance for taking out the time and writing this article. My aim of writing this piece of article is to bring hitherto in limelight, to unfold their magic and doesn’t let them go unsung. There are very few people in our country who make such impacts on life without keeping a hope of recognition or award. I am in an effort to do my bit by acknowledging the unsung heroes of developing India who have set up several benchmarks by their incomparable and outstanding contribution in the field of education. I am sure many of you will be taken by surprise at the substantial amount of deliverance that is being carried out by all of those featured in this article. In this specific noble mission to honour and recognize, I will also let you know what makes my college to become renowned and become all-time favourite for professional education seekers.
(Magnificent view of Invertis University)
The city of Bareilly lies in the state that stands as the largest strength of population in country, a perfectly blended Indo-Islamic culture, from Varanasi to Lucknow people share common taste but have completely different religious views, perspective and myths. This is a kind of picture every person perceives across when the name of state of Uttar Pradesh strikes his/her mind. There is a whooping increase in literacy rate of Uttar Pradesh to be 69.72% which close to the national literacy rate of around 74.01% to a great extent as per the census 2011. Sooner or later Bareilly is all set to become an educational destination when it comes to higher education. The achievers of educational heights in Bareilly believe it to transform the education sector very rapidly because of tremendous growth in education and learning sector. Several coaching institutes are also set up in the town areas of Bareilly to provide localities of Bareilly and nearby areas a perfect place to study and clear the doubts rather than going to distant place reducing wastage of time and money both at time. Now you need not to make a choice between quality education and money because Bareilly is going in the row to provide world class education and coaching facilities at cheaper and affordable rates.
The reason behind Invertis University being the cynosure of all eyes and putting the others in the shades owes to its illustrious journey of becoming a full-fledged university in just 12 years since its establishment in 1998 which seldom happens to any other technical and management institute in developing nation like India. In such a short span of time there is not a single university other than Invertis University is able to achieve this feat and now this is a self-explanatory to comprehend that what all it takes to become a best emerging university in growing phase of a developing nation. The name ‘Invertis’ has been coined from the ancient Greek mythology which means goddess of knowledge. As far as the affiliation of the university is concerned, Invertis University, Uttar Pradesh has been established as a state private university by Act Number 5 of 2009 State Legislature of Uttar Pradesh and is empowered to award degrees as specified by UGC under section 22 UGC Act, 1956 after being approved by statutory bodies of India. Needless to say, there is conformance with the norms of AICTE and in special cases, wherever required, as per the judgment of Honourable Supreme Court in reference to appeal(civil) 2056 of 1999, separate approval from AICTE is not at all required if University has been approved under above stated section. Other than this University is also approved by Bar Council of India (BCI), Council of Architecture (CoA), National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA), Pharmaceutical Centre of India (PCI), National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and many more in order to recognize our college and approve various graduation and post graduation (PG) in order to pave way to offer courses to the students nationwide as well as worldwide. After carefully examining and scrutinizing these accreditation one can easily apprehend that any college get the chance of hitting bull’s eye so perfectly. Isn’t it? So, there is no second thought in the mind of any intellectual person in concluding that their monumental contribution to the society at large is the reason why Invertis University always notches the top position in terms of quality education in India. It provides domain-specific skills, which is in demand and is much-sought in the field of engineering and management, something which is offered basically by international universities. The University is located at the outskirts of town on National Highway-24, near Transport Nagar and is at almost equal distances from the national capital Delhi and state capital Lucknow. The courseware and programmes developed which are industry-oriented and much-sought throughout the world.
(Different Co-curricular activities being held every year)
The institutes are as follows- Invertis Institute of Management Studies, Invertis Institute of Engineering and Technology, Invertis Institute of Journalism and Mass Communication, Invertis Institute of Law, Invertis Institute of Bio-Technology, Invertis Institute of Pharmacy, Invertis Institute of Architecture, Invertis Institute of Nursing, Invertis Institute of Computer Application all lies under the ambit of umbrella of the firm and the golden pillar of Invertis University. There are several graduates, post graduates, diploma holders, honours students who come out with flying colours every year and become a engineers, economists, bankers, and adding feathers to the cap of Invertis University. The number of awards bagged every year is also contributing to immense treasure and University. Recent one conferred is the Outstanding B-School and Engineering Award-2014 by National Education Awards organized by ABP News on 27th June at Taj Land Ends, Mumbai. Next one belongs somewhat to the category of discipline and orderliness as Invertis University achieved world record for “To quit and oppose deadly habit of smoking most people to take the pledge wearing the skeleton mask on 30th of October 2013 at Invertis University premises.” Along with these Invertis University is also awarded for the social and economic growth for which our chancellor Dr. Umesh Gautam has been awarded with “Bharat Shiksha Ratan Award” which was given by “Global Achievers Foundation” on 20th of December 2013 at Delhi.
There is another award which is being conferred for an Outstanding University by S.O.E Global Education Awards 2012. The list goes on as being the most promising private university in Uttar Pradesh by Brands Academy Education Excellence Award in the year 2012. Even in the region we competed as we became the recipient of best emerging University of North India by Indian Achievers Podium. Apart from these as I stated earlier there are awards and fields in which Invertis University surpasses all other universities in the region because of its high managerial skills which is evident in terms of award too. Invertis University is ranked among one of India’s best Engineering and Management colleges by career 360. The college has also been conferred and recognized as A+++B- School by Just Career. Also for continuously five years from 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 it is ranked B+ among top B school survey by Indian Management 2015. There are several other accolades and awards which continue and the list goes on. To make all things happen for Invertis University and to make a successful venture old legacy is carried out in form of ideologies with modern perspective to knit a worthy piece of collection. The intention to discuss these awards here is to let the readers be known about the fact that even the top executives and administrators have realized the potential of ever-growing Invertis University and recognized it accordingly.
(A Visionary approach towards professionalism)
This is the trust and brand Invertis University is creating over the minds of people. It can be derived from the above facts and figures that if a person is visionary about beliefs and conviction in highlighting his inherent thoughts he reveals facets of his persona which have truly endeared him to people and earn accolades and recognition as well. The major reason that we can collude if one has good intentions; one always does well in life. The story of educating people and enlightening their lives, says it all.
Coming to the point what makes these private aided institutions in demand these days is where either student fails to get admission in top government colleges or when other government colleges perform in an average manner in terms of world-class education. Perhaps, it is the thirst of middle class for specialized education that results in ever increasing demand of these institutions. There comes the point where actual striving begins. Just go and ask the parents from a small town who is having sleepless nights who can’t afford spending lakhs of rupees to get her daughter’s admission in good college and is confused and depressed because of her average performance in cutting edge competitive world, the student who had dream and studied hard but was not able to perform well because of some unknowingly made mistakes and now they did not know how to realize them, the consumer who felt betrayed because there are several consultancies who just make fake promises of getting admission in top-ranked colleges on getting hefty fees and later cheat them by running away from their reach after taking good sum of money
(Striving for excellence)
At this point of time Invertis University comes to the rescue because neither the institution fee is too high to afford nor there is deprivation from world class education. Many middle class families owe it all to the Invertis University to help their children in scaling heights and not letting them compromise with their dreams. All credits to Invertis University that many got the chance to walk into rainbow.
Returning back to the point of distinguishing factors of Invertis University which let it to outshine other universities from the race is none other than our young and dynamic chancellor- Dr. Umesh Gautam. Surveying what he has come to possess today, which others failed, is his totally different leadership and decision-making. His present acquisitions today comprise Invertis University and Clara Swan Mission Hospital, Bareilly. And as the proverb goes that there is a woman behind every successful man our chancellor owes his success to his wife, Executive Chairperson Sonal Gautam and adds “I could never do it alone and was supported in every possible manner by my soul mate.” They together have nurtured Invertis University with creativity, innovativeness and discipline. He recalls the day when they started their journey with a handful of faculties as supporting system and mere 83 students and an institute namely, Invertis Institute of Management Studies. He never guessed that it was a start of silent revolution which will form Invertis University as a consequence.
(Exotic glimpses of cultural events)
No wonders that today the university is offering a wide range of undergraduates, post graduates, diploma courses in several fields like engineering, management, nursing, pharmacy, law, architecture and lot more to the students worldwide as there are students from different countries under student exchange program. He is a supremely energetic individual who never takes any hasty decision, but also do not wait when he feels that the time has come.
He further explains “I don’t believe in thinking and visualizing in space. I believe in direct operations, I just believe in doing the best.”
Umesh Gautam is a deep-rooted cultured man with global taste and he personally believes that values and virtues can only be instilled by the parents and teachers. So as to carry forward these ideologies to the young generation on whose shoulder the future of country lies he decided to establish Invertis University. His concept is slightly different in a way that channelization of youth energy is very important for their contribution in nation building as misguided youth are biggest hazard to society as well as country. The purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
The University is able to set unremitting standards of quality when it comes to hiring of faculty who are well equipped and have excelled in their field of specialization. To facilitate the educational and spiritual learning there is chancellor’s natural self that intuitively knows how to optimize the efficiency of its well expertise professional, which has served as tool to transform his dreams into reality. Walking into educational entrepreneurship early in life, he has a very good team of vice-chancellor, pro-vice chancellor, dean and academic advisor who have come from premier institutions like IITs and IIMs in their background. All of them are honed in their skills and so they acquire a competitive edge in this genre of investment arena to deal with educational milestones, leaving many wondering what has spurred Invertis University onto the success highway. Also the University runs management studies that have become a much sought program owing to its international standards and intention to make it even better than universities in west. In his quest to provide better studying environment he majorly encourages multi-tasking.
Conquest upon such initiatives, the students of Invertis University undergoes profound experimental learning that comes from those smart and stylish professionals who guide them accordingly. A stimulating academic atmosphere under guidance of beyond 100 experienced professors and dedicated faculty members leave no stone unturned in imparting knowledge to more than 2000 students and thus shaping future of India. The campus is fully enabled by Wi-Fi to provide repository for academic resources. There are smart lecture halls equipped with ceiling mounted LCD projectors, computers and other multimedia devices that make attending class indeed a delight. There are several other high-tech living labs to cater the need of quality education at fastest pace. Students passing out from Invertis University are eligible to appear in civil services, GRE, GMAT, and GATE, PSUs, CAT, Banking and other competitive exams.
(The eco-friendly and refreshing campus)
Here comes the most extravagant feature of Invertis University which is its state-of-the-art infrastructure and lush green campus dotted with greeneries. A university of global standards is located over sprawling 110 acres of land, amid a picturesque landscape, an impressive numerous numbers of buildings and versatile design. The chanting of mantras during sunset and sunrise in entire premises and its grand architecture justifies the educational philosophy, as entire campus gives a serene, dignified and peaceful ambience to behold. Invertis University has all facilities needed for setting up an internationally acclaimed institute. The infrastructure at the campus, starting from high-tech labs to classy design of buildings and frontiers, are straight out of style book. Our executive chairperson is the brain behind these perfect and flawless designs. Apart from these there is a prominent library with around whooping 50,000 books and journals from various publications. To carve out the raw diamonds into real solitaires there are several meditation classes and continuous spiritual teachings. They provide engineering courses in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture engineering and several others and for training of these students professional mentors are invited on behalf of college and they conduct workshop training ranging from days or weeks or even as long as months in a premises. At robotics centre there are over 24 computer terminals loaded with related software as like AUTOCAD, TINA, KEIL, PCB, ELISE and related set up like PCB designing, chip burning. It has around 1200 computer terminals and 18 high speed series with latest hardware and software. The labs have more than 200 computers each installed with Core2-Duo and Dual core systems loaded with C, C++, JAVA, TALLY, MS OFFICE, Visual Studio and Oracle 8i throughout 24 hours access for hostellers. Also there is a separate residential facility provided to girls and boys comprising of total 1200 students. The hostels are named after rivers and mountains viz. Kaveri, Godavari, Bhagirathi, Shivalik, Himalaya etc. The mess is named Annapurna meaning “goddess of food”. Till the time we youth don’t physically engage ourselves in some adventurous and sporting activities we are restless. Keeping it in mind there are gym, cricket field, tennis court, football field, lawns and other spaces as well. Acclaimed as one of the best in state, it is steadily moving towards becoming fully world class with all possible facilities and amenities to conform to the global standard to keep the University at higher points in this extremely tough and competitive business arena. At Invertis University I find a whole new world, lasting friendship and unforgettable memories to cherish lifetime. The campus is absolutely Ragging-free and freshers are kept under special care to avoid any such occurrence. The university bestows a genial learning atmosphere for its students. Since its inception in 1998, Invertis has become the “Institute of choice” for students and industry. More than 4000 students have passed out through its portals and have gone to render their services for economic prosperity of self as well as entire nation as a whole.
(Creativity at its horizon)
The placement cell often called Corporate Resource Centre works extensively round the year for campus recruitments, pool campuses, job fairs and internship programmes for the placement of student. They just work harder and harder for visit of various HR conclaves and technical professionals so that they could share some real-life situations and decision-making circumstances which will help our students to learn all those qualities and thus imbibe such qualities thoroughly so that they are not a rookie in their specialization field. These qualities and skills are honed well as to let them become the melting pots of talents and make them industry-ready professionals. The head of corporate resource centre is a professional who is assisted by dedicated individuals to liaison with industry and Human Resource Department managers of several renowned ventures and organisations.
(A true noteworthy achievement)
The best part is that our University gives 100% placement to its students every year. Many of our alumni as like Dushyant Dass of MBA 2002-2004 Batch who is a Deputy Manager HR at Hindustan India Media Private Limited, Faizen Siddiqui of B.Tech 2007-2011 Batch is a System Engineer at Infosys, Prateek Gupta of B.Tech 2006-2010 is a Senior Programmer at Accenture, Mahak Vaish of BBA 2005-2008 Batch is Managing Director at ACS Consultancy owe their success to the lessons learned during stay at Invertis Premises. In nut-shell if you are interested in nation building programme and would like to have a career in sector of immense national importance then you are at the right place.
