What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior administrative leadership roles as Registrar, Joint Registrar, or Deputy Registrar, focused on university governance, statutory compliance, multi-campus administration, digital process transformation, and institutional growth.

At BITS Pilani, I manage academic, administrative, and regulatory affairs across campuses. I coordinate statutory compliance and reporting through portals including AISHE, ABC, NAD, DigiLocker, and UTSAH.

At IIT Indore, I managed the joint MSDSM programme between IIT Indore and IIM Indore from admissions through the pioneer batch’s graduation. I also served as the National Academic Depository nodal officer, coordinating institutional data uploading, verification, and compliance.

Earlier, at IIT Jodhpur, I handled academic operations and served as Establishment Section In-Charge. At PDPM IIITDM Jabalpur, I developed custom software applications and administrative utilities to automate office workflows. I’m seeking senior administrative leadership roles in university governance, compliance, multi-campus administration, and process transformation.
