Dr. Manoj Goel is the Joint Director of KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad.He is a seasoned professional having more than 20 years of robust & cross-functional experience in all round Administration. He is proficient in administrative activities, policy implementation, facility management, management of crisis and various emergencies. He has dexterity at liaising between Management, faculties, Government Authorities and others. Having a penchant towards education sector, here is what his views are towards the same.


What are the key factors that keep you connected with the education sector?

“Young minds are creative and always full of energy and new ideas”

The key factor is to connect with the young minds of the country. They have all the new ideas, and they are ready to do new things. I am always prepared to learn with the young mind, and that is how I feel interested and connected with all the students in the college. That is why, since 1997, when I started the KIET Group of Institutions, I enjoy the company of students.

“When you are close to your team, you understand them in every thick and thin. You analyse the potential they carry and assess how to scale that up”


How do you strategize about the key programs and plans for the marketing of your college?

“In my view, the best publicity is done by word of mouth”

If my students and faculty are satisfied with the facilities and the level of education we are imparting to them, it will go out positively, which will help enhance our credibility.So in KIET, we focus on providing the best experience to the students, so that word of mouth publicity itself takes care of our marketing. But still, in today’s era, you have to say what you are doing, and for that purpose, we used to do newspaper and magazine ads earlier, but now as time has shifted to Digital Marketing, so we use that means to get our work in front of aspiring students.

How does the curriculum of KIET Group of Institutions ensure the best practice of industry?

“We ensure that students are abreast to the current trends of the industry”

In KIET, we get the top 5% of students of Uttar Pradesh. In addition to the university's curriculum, through our corporate relations and placement center, we send a feedback form to different industries asking what all technology in the various fields they need. We do this activity from time to time and use it to provide additional skills to our students round the year. We also do small certificate workshops regarding the same for our students. That is how we are managing to bridge the gap between institution and industry so that by the time my students reach the final year, they should be ready for the industry. We also consider industry-specific additional learning programs as an internship for the students. 


What would you like people to know about your college they may not know?

“Our students are being taught with the practical concepts with an enriching experience”

We will like people to know how our students or faculty feel on the campus. I would like to mention that we have a technological business incubator sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology, which is unique for any institution for promoting entrepreneurship. We also have different centers of excellence like we have the Centre of Excellence for Mercedes Benz in partnership with Mercedes Benz. They now allow our students also to take short term advanced diplomas in that center. It helps the students interested in the Automobile sector to have the highest level of knowledge about the subject directly from the industry leader. We also have a successful SAE club of 500 students working round the year and taking part in Baja, Supra Racing. Efficycle competitions are organized by them at the national and international levels. We have recently opened the SSB academy in our institute to help the students preparing for defense services.

“What institutes are preparing is not required by the industry and vice versa.KIET has resolved this issue via placements which are above 85% for all the branches. Our biggest challenge is to have the competent faculty, and we are working on up-gradation of our faculty and their retention”


Any suggestions you would like to give to the current youth and the aspiring students?

“KIET is a hub where everyday transformation of students takes place”

My suggestion to youth is to put in their hearts in whatever they do. Several students are pursuing their education under some pressure. At the same time, they are interested in some other areas. They should choose the field as per their interest and passion.

Once you take admission to the institute, you have to complete 75% attendance, but you should look for 360-degree development. I will say that KIET is waiting for you all to transform your career for the new aspirants.
