Best Faculties in ICAI Orientation Courses: A Deep Dive
As a student who has recently completed the Orientation Training at Thane Branch of WIRC, I can attest to the remarkable learning experience. While the institution offers various courses such as ICITSS, Advanced ICITSS MCS, and AICITSS - Advanced Information Technology Course, the standout experience for many of us lies in the faculty members. This article delves into the qualities of the best faculties and highlights one of them in particular: Mr. Jayendra Malhotra.
Navigating the Orientation Experience
The 15 days of training at Thane Branch were memorable, with 14 days filled with valuable learning and only one day repeated. However, the true essence of the training didn't lie in the faculty but in the peer-to-peer learning and networking opportunities.
Each day, we presented ourselves to our peers, fostering a deeper understanding and respect for diverse perspectives. This peer interaction enhanced the learning process more than traditional teaching methods. Listening to each other's stories is not only fun but incredibly enriching. This aspect of the program is invaluable.
Despite this, online communication poses significant challenges. For effective collaboration and learning, it's imperative to develop strong communication skills. The IT infrastructure at WIRC is also a concern as it needs improvement for enhanced learning experiences.
The administrative staff at Thane Branch was noted for being overly cautious and paranoid, which sometimes hampered learning outcomes. Adapting to the challenges presented by the administrative style and IT infrastructure is crucial for a smooth orientation experience.
Mr. Jayendra Malhotra: A Practical Faculty
Among the faculties, Mr. Jayendra Malhotra stands out as a unique and practical teacher. Unlike other faculty members who may focus solely on the positive aspects of the subject matter, he takes a different approach. Rather than spoon-feeding information, Mr. Malhotra encourages practical engagement and discussion.
He does not begin his classes with a formal introduction or spend time on background information. Instead, he immediately engages the students by asking questions and prompting them to share their thoughts. This interactive approach ensures that students are actively participating in the learning process.
Mr. Malhotra believes in allowing students to judge him based on his practical insights and teaching rather than his qualifications or position. This method fosters a more authentic learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically and engage actively.
One of his signature responses when asked for an introduction is, "Maine tera intro pucha" (Have you asked me for my introduction?), making the introduction come at the end of the session rather than the beginning.
Overall Satisfaction with ICAI Faculty
While some aspects of the orientation training could be improved, ICAI deserves recognition for organizing such essential courses for Chartered Accountants (CAs). The majority of the faculties are knowledgeable and experienced in their respective fields. Their depth of knowledge and practical insights have greatly contributed to our learning experience.
For anyone attending ICAI courses, these aspects of the faculty and the peer-to-peer learning opportunities make the orientation a truly enriching experience. It is not just about the theoretical knowledge imparted but also about the skills and interactions that shape our professional journey.
Conclusion
When it comes to choosing faculty for important courses like those offered by ICAI, it's about more than just the academic credentials. It's about finding individuals who can effectively communicate, engage, and inspire their students. Mr. Jayendra Malhotra stands out in this regard, and his approach to teaching should be appreciated and emulated.
For those embarking on their ICAI journey, ensuring you attend sessions led by such faculty members can greatly enhance your learning experience. Good luck and enjoy your orientation and IT training!
