Who are some of the best professors at Madras Institute of Technology (MIT)? And why?
My friend studied at MIT in 2013 and he says there are many reputable names from different departments like Prof. K Jeyaraman in the Aeronautical Engineering department, or Dr. PK Kanagasabapathy from the Instrumentation Engineering department, or Dr. A Rajadurai who was the former dean of MIT- he was an expert in Metallurgy and is one of the best professors owned by MIT.
Nevertheless, because my friend has his personal favorites, I'd write about them here -
- Late Prof. VK Narayanan was dedicated to his profession and his students. His room was next to the internet room on the admin floor. My friend used to converse with him on any topic necessary.
- It was because of him that he discovered KB Chandrasekar, the same KBC of the AU KBC research centre where my friend is an employee now. He forsook TCS to join there.
There have been innumerable instances where my friend was guided and helped by prof KVN.
- One such incident is of the day when someone from the All India Radio came to him to introduce a new program to him on Information Technology.
- He had approached him to ask him for lectures on computers to be relayed on AIR, and Prof Mathiazhagan had already done the first episode; but Prof KVN calmly made him understand that he should give such opportunities to young students.
- He pointed at my friend and highlighted his erudition on knowledge to do with the internet, which landed him with 20+ episodes.
- Not only this, he once helped a student to apply to foreign universities and she landed in a good US university, one more student with his help in association with my friend got a job with Blackberry and now lives in San Francisco.
- Once my friend wanted to build a website for MIT and guess who provided all the support - Prof. KVN did. He learned HTML, found a domain name, and created official MIT emails for all the staff members.
He had been a professor, friend, and guide to my friend.

- Money can be found wherever there is an annoyance.
- Everything in this world can be summed up in a single word or sentence. Brevity is synonymous with wit.
- Don't just read passively; Begin challenging the author's ideas; just because someone is a Kotler or a Keller doesn't mean he is always correct.

How great are the professors in CSE Department in IIT Bombay?
One of my friends had a great experience interacting with a brilliant CSE professor at IIT Bombay, Dr. D.B. Phatak.
He called the professor who gladly invited him over to his office. My friend was impressed as such a busy person who is 65 years of age was ready to meet him without hesitation. He reached his office and was welcomed almost as if the professor was expecting him for the past few weeks. He was simultaneously attending calls and yet managed to attend to my friend happily. Talking to him did not look like one is talking to a Padamdhee awarded such a humble attitude. He told my friend his youth stories and discussed a number of topics. In the end, my friend couldn’t resist asking what kind of person gets successful like him. To this, the professor replied,“ I will tell you an anecdote. I am chairman of a certain bank body where we conduct elections for nominating a board member. Once we had elections where each person got some 3–5 votes and generally one of those votes people gave to themselves. In that particular election, there was only one lady who has ethically and honestly given all votes to other fellow members and in the end, she lost the election by one vote only. Do you know who that lady is today? She is chairman of SBI. Your ethics make you great, not the degrees, money, and positions.”
The gist of the interaction was that one can become successful irrespective of his position and credentials. What matters is how humble your stay even after being extremely successful.
