Limitations of the Study

• The study was restricted only to Management Teachers and Management Students.

Summary of Findings – Students' Viewpoint

• Majority of the students suggested that the faculty should share his views on the current affairs and general knowledge aspects to the students.
• Students also suggested that their faculties should motivate and encourage them, which would help them to improve their mettle.
• Few students are much concerned about the syllabus coverage. And few others felt that it should be partly on a self-study basis.
• Doubt clarification – yet another key driver inside the classroom. A part of the students are not clarifying their doubts immediately – reason is "Shyness". The other part of student feels the doubts to be clarified then and there itself.
• Students feel that a feedback should be got at the every session to find out their understanding level. But still few students feel that feedback is not required instead we could spend the same time for some other productive thing by learning more from the faculty.

Summary of Findings – Teachers' Viewpoint

• Students' classroom behaviour should be more matured than of what they have now.
• Student should be interactive during the class to make the sessions livelier.
• Student should be prepared for every session – they should do their home work for healthy thought provoking discussions.
• Student should be updated with the current affairs and general knowledge – as the availability of library and internet is good they should use it productively.
• Student should avoid procrastinations and should learn punctuality, commitment with conscious focussed efforts.

Relationship beyond classrooms…

• As someone rightly stated "Parents are first teachers and teachers are second parents".
• Every faculty should be a mentor to their wards.
• Basically faculty should trust the student and the student should trust the faculty – if this is done there becomes a good mentor-mentee relationship.
• The student faculty relationship could also help in career building.
• The student faculty relationship could also help in building better nations.

Conclusion

The student-teacher relationship is not just like… any other accidental or incidental relationship rather it should be like a blossom of a flower. If these two have a better relation then we have a better citizens and better country tomorrow.
