What challenges do you see for higher education and BIET, Bhubaneswar?

Creating an effective industry-institute program for students while they are in school is one of the difficulties. Their skill set is deficient. It is essential to stay current with evolving circumstances. The government has created a joint venture with the goal of preparing students for industry demands. Through extracurricular activities and academic careers, the campus equips students with skills.

Any valuable advice which you would like to give to the students to have a prosperous career ahead?

In my opinion, the only way to succeed is to work hard because it enables you to acquire valuable skills, acquire experience, and lay the groundwork for long-term success. This is in contrast to quick fixes, which may produce results temporarily but are not sustainable. Be dedicated and put in the work today to reap the benefits later.
