INTRODUCTION:
Faculty are the heart of the student experience in education, contributing actively to
teaching and research, thereby providing students with a positive educational experience.
Interaction with faculty outside the classroom is one of the key knowledge experiences associated
with student development. Positive and close interactions between students and their faculty
precipitate students’ favorable educational experiences as well as greater academic and personal
development. Positive relationship between student-faculty interaction and a broad range of
student educational outcomes, including academic achievement, educational aspirations,
intellectual growth, and academic satisfaction. The positive benefits of interaction are not limited
to classroom and need to be extended beyond the classroom due to few constraints.
There may be students in class who are hesitant to participate in classroom discussion.
Such students require a platform where they can interact with the faculty on daily basis. The
interaction beyond the classroom caters to this need and eventually helps in transforming the
behavior of such students. Frequent interactions with faculty beyond the classroom makes them
more approachable to receive guidance in topics related to live projects, research papers and
student publications which add value to quality education. The tutorials beyond formal classroom
interactions can help in providing in depth understanding in few topics of interest by students
which would not have been feasible in formal classroom sessions due to time constraints. The
experience gained by faculty often helps to imbibe more knowledge into students through beyond
classroom interactions. Internships and other forms of experiential learning are a valuable learning
opportunity and resource for many students and perhaps even more so for those with special needs.
Such students might need assistance from faculty outside the classroom. The outside classroom
interaction also provides platform to educate students about cultures, ethics and motivate them,
which usually is not feasible in formal classroom interactions
In the present scenario education is seen as an indispensable investment in creating a
knowledgeable workforce, producing broad national benefits and increased personal fulfillment
for our citizens. The retention of faculty in such cases has become more difficult and encounters
high student faculty ratio. This ratio being high indicates that a teacher has to monitor more number
of students under the same roof. This hinders the individual attention of the faculty on students in
class. Faculty tend to be less engaged with students and cut down on activities that might have

been feasible in small class size. In such cases virtual classrooms and online interactions through
social networking sites outside classroom nurtures engagement between faculty and students.
Learning beyond the classroom offers a whole host of opportunities one struggles to find
within confined classroom’s four walls. The faculty-student interaction outside the classroom
makes learning more engaging and relevant by assigning live projects and concepts which seem
too difficult to get a grasp of in the classroom. The interaction through educational and recreational
trips beyond classroom nurtures the creativity and imagination of students. Faculty assistance in
engaging students into extracurricular activities develops learning through play and
experimentation. The motivation and timely interactions reduces absenteeism and student behavior
problems. The guidance from faculty exposes students to wide opportunities. The faculty-student
out-of-classroom interaction has a positive impact on student outcomes such as academic
achievement, retention, and satisfaction with the collegiate environment.
Committees and clubs(academic and non-academic
Committees and clubs are eminent part of any college. They not only help students to interact with each
other but also with competitions, forums, workshops etc provides students a platform to showcase their
talent, learn and reciprocate. Present structure of committees and clubs in IIM Lucknow does not have
any staff counsellor or faculty interaction. Involvement of faculty in clubs and committees will help such
forums to improvise on insights from experienced faculty we have. These interactions will also bridge gap
between the two. These forums being informal will provide a better platform for both faculty and students
to know each other. Improvisation on events, involvement of guest faculty, insights of practices followed
in foreign universities et al will increase when interested faculty members will be on board of such forums.
Faculty interaction in academic forums will help students to engage in research or publish papers. This
will improve the academic intellect of IIM Lucknow. On the other hand involvement of faculty in non-
academic forums will help students learn better soft skills. Such hobby clubs will help us diversify our
current cultural presence. As faculty members have their connections with eminent personalities in
various fields, students may cash such opportunities to showcase their ideas on global platforms. After all
its not just about studies, its about all round development we are here for.
Online interaction:
Our curriculum has claroline for teacher- students interaction which fulfils basic requirement of
assignment submissions and lectures in pdf or ppt formats. Ppt and pdfs sometimes does not fully
satisfy needs of students. So to improve the retention of lectures and better understanding, online
interaction between teachers and students need to be emphasised.
To improve the online interaction foremost thing we can do is Make lectures available online.
