While it is true that for hundreds of years the faculty has been primarily considered the life and soul of an educational institution, the 21st century has become very complicated. The chalk and talk methods of the teacher no longer apply in the networked universe of a global village. The reliance on books and libraries has also ended with a proliferation of teaching materialsavailable worldwide at the click of a few buttons over the internet.Yet, whilestudents and the public are getting smarter under the impact of a global awareness and the advertising and tones of information that flows in all directions, the faculty is also progressively enlightened. Teachers have a better chance to keep up with globaldevelopments in the different fields of study. Teaching is nowadays considered purely a transfer of information instead of the inspirational and motivational value it once had.
Regarding the effectiveness of teaching and the positive impact upon the taught, it is the residential institutions that stand the best chances of success. Instead of meeting students for a couple of hours as happens in day colleges, the boys and girls participate day and night in the learning process. The faculty and hostel staff take on the roles of parents and mentors and guide the students in a home away from home ambience over several semesters.
With foreign students also studying in the institution, it is a stimulating give andtake besides the development of future professional contacts. The cross-cultural togetherness does bring deeper understanding of the differing languages, nationalities, religions and cultures. A daily building of bridges of understanding should go a long way for mutual benefit.

Unlike students in colleges in advanced countries, students in India do not take up part time jobs that would have generated revenues besides providing valuable experiences. Work preferably in the same field of study like management which is further divided into various specializations like finance, human resources and materials management.

Internships and the lucky campus placements provide many opportunities for practical work experience besides honing the interview skills and impressing would-be employers with good performances.
