Historical Panaroma

national capital and offers various placement
opportunities
Kaithal was part of the Karnal district at the time
of Haryana state formation. Later Kaithal became
the part of the Kurukshetra district. 1 November
1989, when it became the headquarters of the
Kaithal District of Haryana. Kaithal is only three
and half hours away from the national capital.
Kaithal has many colleges and schools which are
imparting world class education to the students
of the Kaithal district area. The NIILM Education
Trust has formed the NIILM University in Kaithal.
The foundation stone of the NIILM University
was laid down by Hon’ble Shri. Randip
Surjewala, Minister, Haryana Government and
MLA from Kaithal. This forms a major landmark
in the district of Kaithal in the education sector.
The international feel, great infrastructure and
the quality of education provided all contribute

state. At present Kaithal is a flourishing town
known for its cotton and rice plantations. All
modern facilities and amenities are available. It
has malls and multiplexes and forms a hub for
youth both for education and recreation.
Historical Perspective
An important town during Akbar's rule, it is
located near the Bidkiar Lake. The town is said to
have been founded by Yudhishthira in
celebration of the Pandavas' victory in the
Mahabharata. It was first known as Kapisthala, or
Abode of Monkeys, and is the birth place of the
monkey god Hanuman. A temple in memory of
Hanuman's mother, Anjana, is built here.
The Site of Battle Between Razia Sultan
and Delhi Forces
A fierce battle between Razia Sultan (Iltutmish's
successor) and the rebel forces of Delhi, was
fought here. She is said to be buried here,
although her tomb is also to be found in Delhi.
There is also a mosque near her tomb. The
Emperor Akbar renovated this town and built a
fort, and after the third battle of Panipat the region
came under the rule of Bhai Desu Singh, a Sikh
leader, whose palace has now been converted
into a police station and overlooks the lake.
The Main Attractions
The Phelgu tank is a watery and holy site in honour
of Rishi Phelgu who meditated here, and the
Pundri tank dates back to the Mahabharata period.
A few temples are also scattered around, like the
Saraswati temple, Kapil Muni temples and Baba
Narayan Das temple. The tombs of Shah Wilayat,
Sheik Shihabuddin, Shah Kamal and Bidkiyar Lake
itself are worth a look.
Brick Temples
Going by legend, a king called Shalivahana ruled
this area in the 7th century AD. He was cursed that
he would die during the night, but by a stroke of
luck he touched the earth where the temple now
stands. The curse was revoked, and the king's
happiness knew no boundaries. So he gave orders
for five temples to be built, out of which only two
stand now.
One of them must have originally stood on a
terrace but is now half buried under a mound of
earth. Both temples follow the Ajanta-Ellora
pattern of a rock cut facade. Constructed from
carved bricks, the highest point culmintaes in a
shikara (pinnacle) and is joined in a beehive
manner.

Interactive Approach
The traditional mode of learning perpetrates
memorizing without the student ever grasping
the soul of the subject. This results in a situation
where lessons taught are never learnt.' At
NIILM University, students are sensitized to a
unique learning process which continues to pay
dividends throughout their lives. The NIILM
method demands constant interaction between
faculty and students.
The NIILM Method
Students are encouraged to explore themselves
and attain their potential, learn from their own
experiences and those of other students. They
also serve as transparent and candid feedback
mechanisms and emerge as active participants in
the self-development process.
Student Feedback
Student Feedback is an integral driving force in
the overall strategy of development at the
University. Student input into courses and
institution policies is formally sought at regular
intervals. An efficient student feedback
procedure ensures an in-depth annual review of
all courses which leads to progressive changes in
meeting the new requirements of students.
Individual Action Plan
In order to encourage greater student initiative in
the self-learning process every NIILM University
Scholar maintains an Individual Action Plan (IAP)
from the very beginning of the academic session.
The IAP consists of the students' self-evaluation
of individual strengths and weaknesses and
identification of skills that they wish to develop in
the context of their work, environment,
interests and aims. In this manner, students are
taught to profile and map their own progress
reports and finally their individual career paths.
Reflective Journal
The Reflective Journal is maintained by all
students in relation to their assignments. It
provides an insight into analytical thought
process for task orientation in assignment
activity. It addresses the reasons for the
preferred course of action adopted and its
practical applicability in a real environment.
ASCOM
There exists a strong Academic Support
Committee (ASCOM) comprising student
nominees from various academic disciplines.
ASCOM recommendations play a key role in the
periodic review and evaluation of faculty
performance and curriculum efficacy.

Placement & Careers
N
IILM University continuously carries
on extensive research through
detailed interactions with
CEO's/Managers of large and small industries,
Multi National Corporates and major
associations like CII, AIIMA, FICCI, PHD and
local chambers of commerce to find out what
gets students good jobs. The research has
thrown up the following
• Life Skills
An interesting factor that our research has
shown is that pure academic skills, alone, are
not enough to get students good jobs.
Employers are looking for Motivation,
Sincerity, Team spirit, Hard work and
Reliability apart from leadership qualities and
entrepreneurial mind set.
Companies want their potential employees to
have a pleasing personality, good
communication skills, patience, tolerance,
appreciation, tact, efficiency, literacy,
awareness. These essentials are what we
term as “Life Skills” taught as a compulsory
subject during every semester to all our
students in all our colleges through courses on
- `SELS’ – Strategic Entrepreneurial
Leadership Skills’ and `PCC-Personal and
Corporate Communications’ among others.
• University Branding – a key to
getting and retaining jobs
Branding is applicable not just to consumer
products. A University Brand like NIILM
brings instant awareness in the minds of public
and HR Managers about your perceived
qualities and abilities.

In India there are realistically atleast, 500
applicants for every good job available. The
process, of short-listing the candidates to call
for interview is quite a difficult one. To shortlist
best 25 out of the 500 is highly dependent on
the HR Managers or potential employers
recall of your University name and quality.
There are about 3500 engineering schools
and 1400 management schools in the
country. NIILM University's branding through
its A+ quality, and its positioning as one of the
top most leading University in the country
automatically ensures that our students will be
short-listed and called for the interview. The
NIILM University nametag opens many many
doors for potentially great jobs.
• Good Internships - Important
for final Placements
NIILM University has a quarterly system
wherein the student does three quarters of
academics and one quarter of Field Training
and Internships. NIILM University is thus able
to place its students with industries
throughout the year for on-the-job learning.
This round the year internships and
placements is well appreciated by the industry
who take our students through out the year.
At NIILM, every member of the faculty and
staff works closely with industry to get our
students the best jobs (interim and final) that
are in line with their skills.
At NIILM getting our students great jobs is a
responsibility that we take very seriously. It is
our raison d'être.
We recognize that one of the primary responsibilities of a professional educational institution is to
build strong links with industry, commerce, arts, cultural bodies and other professions to ensure
that the talents and skills of individual students are sharpened and their full potential is realised and
rewarded by the world of practice.
Career Guidance Cell: Defining
Directions
Today there is a great need to guide and create
awareness among students about the changing
world scenario, its impact on the Indian economy
and on job opportunities. This need goes far
beyond the NU centres and NU has thus set up an
independent Career Guidance Cell (CGC). The
CGC keeps itself updated with the latest
international and national industry trends and the
changing market scenario. CGC gives guidance to
students irrespective of whether they wish to join
NU or not.

responsibilities of a professional educational
institution is to build strong links with industry,
commerce, arts, cultural bodies and other
professions to ensure that the talents and skills of
individual students are sharpened and their full
potential is realised and rewarded by the world of
practice.
Career Guidance Advisory Council
CGAC of NIILM University is an expert body
consisting of eminent professionals from various
career fields. These consist of international and
national level names in various fields who are also
prospective employers for the student body. They
meet the student body from time to time and
advice them regarding career decisions.
Career Planning & Placement Cell
(CPPC): Looking Ahead
There are no shortcuts to success. Therefore, we
believe in beginning early to plan, guide and provide
direction to the career path of all our students. Our
robust and proactive-CPPC works in coordination
with the students inculcating in them a positive
approach to work and providing
them the solid backup of resources, so that they may
acquire the necessary skills and vision to excel in their
dream job.
The Career Planning & Placement Cell continuously
invites organizations to visit its campus by way of
career fairs and pre-placement talks. This provides
students an opportunity to learn more about
recruiting organizations and meet some of their key
employees. This process makes a powerful and long
lasting impact by exposing students to highly qualified
professionals.
Interaction with Industry
CPPC assists students in developing an awareness of
cutting-edge careers by organising guest lectures,
panel discussions, conferences and workshops from
time to time. In addition, NIILM University has strong
links with prominent industrial groups which generate
valuable synergy between students and corporate
organizations. The University organizes a numerous
industrial visits and field trips to students of various
disciplines.
Guidance Tutors: Nurturing Relationships
At NIILM University, all NIILM Tutors also act as
Guidance Tutors (GTs). The concept of a GT, which is
not new, is that of a friend, philosopher and guide. All
students are assigned Guidance Tutors who monitor
their academic progression and personal
development. These sessions address issues of both
personal and social importance like peer pressure,
time management, performance, anxiety, abuse,
drugs, alcohol and sexuality. This interactive platform
significantly enhances the introspective and problem
solving abilities of the students thus leading them
towards greater self-reliance in the learning process.
