Madhubani art which originated in the Mithila region is created with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks, using natural dyes and pigments, and is characterized by eye-catching motifs and patterns. Traditionally, this is created by women and depicts mankind in association with nature. The paintings adapted in this year’s brochure have been created by Madhubani artists Leela Devi and Ranjana Das.

Azim Premji University - Placement Brochure 2018 - 20 11 Our Faculty, Teaching and Learning Process
Over the last few years we have built a very committed faculty team of 140 members. Most faculty have doctoral degrees in relevant domains and many have personally contributed to the social sphere and have been actively engaged in setting up and running NGOs and schools across the country. The blend of academics and field experience among the faculty creates a very vibrant, rich and collegial environment. Added to this, the wealth of experience and practice related expertise of Azim Premji Foundation’s field institution members, guest lectures from several practitioners and academicians from outside have immensely benefited students. We expect the education at the University to be an important beginning or continuation, not the final stage, of a process of learning. Our programmes aim to i. promote excellence in learning appropriate to the diverse contexts that students come from ii. ensure that they reflect the University’s social purpose and iii. nurture students who are capable of making sensitive ethical choices, are socially engaged and capable of thoughtful and skillful action. In line with this, the teaching and learning processes inside and outside the classroom are designed to ensure that students and faculty engage each other in dialogue, questioning and also address issues of inclusion and diversity. Faculty are facilitators of learning, creating an environment that is not competitive, but one that focuses on the students’ own accomplishments in learning.

Azim Premji University - Placement Brochure 2018 - 20 27 Placements Overview
Central to realizing our vision is to see our students engaged with the social sector after they graduate. The Placement cell at the University comprising students and faculty mentors work on this aspect. For the fourth year running, the University has had very healthy placements.
In the last seven batches, more than 1900 students have graduated. It is heartening that over 70% of these students chose to work in the social sector (with NGO’s, government programs, fellowships, schools and other organizations) and among them more than 80% opted for work at the grassroots in rural areas and small towns, where their competency is most needed. Reflective of the purpose of the University, students have consciously chosen work, that they believe, fulfils their aspiration of contributing meaningfully to social change on the ground.
