Quantity vs Quality: Yet another reflection. The rapid expansion of doctoral programs in India has fueled a surge in numbers, not in excellence. This “publish or perish” mindset is churning out low impact research that remains largely detached from industry needs and real world problem solving. Of course, they get promotion, Become Associate Professors and get the coveted Dr. Prefix infront of their name, which unfortunately now every rich Tom, Dick and Harry get these days by favoring the universities in the guise of honorary doctorate! This trend will continue, as we do not have the right leadership to steer the Human Resource and Education portfolio in India.

Continuing the tradition of interactive sessions with IAS alumnus, today IAS & Allied Services Training Centre, PUP organised “Civic Discourse”: an interactive discussion to enhance policy analysis and debate skills. On this occasion, our respected guest Mrs. Hargunjit Kaur (IAS), Managing Director , Punjab AgroIndustries Corporation had an interactive discussion with the students on topic “does India have what it takes to become a Developed Country by 2047?”. Dr Jagdeep Singh, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, PUP graced the event by his presence and welcomed our guest. The event was enriched by presence of Dr Jaswinder Brar, Dean Academic Affairs, PUP.Students participated in this thought provoking discussion with full zeal and enthusiasm. Discussions like these are important to develop critical thinking skills amongst UPSC/PCS aspirants and help them widen their knowledge.

A Workshop on Mental Ability and Emotional Intelligence organised by the department on 15.11.2025. Mental ability is a critical component of all major entrance tests, as it evaluates logical reasoning, analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and decision-making capacity. Strengthening these competencies enables students to approach examinations with clarity, accuracy, and effective time management.
Equally significant is Emotional Intelligence, which helps students manage stress, maintain focus, regulate emotions, and sustain motivation during preparation and examination. The ability to remain composed and confident under pressure greatly enhances overall performance.

Mohit Aggarwal, Superintendent of Police (SP), Mohali, honoured us by joining the event as the Chief Guest for the workshop. His insightful address and motivational guidance greatly inspired the students and added immense value to the program.
