Dear Students,
For years, you've worked hard - studying late into the night, preparing for exams, and feeling the pressure to succeed. Your parents, teachers, and even society have placed expectations on you, making success feel like a finish line you must reach at all costs. But today, as you step into this new phase of life, I want you to take a deep breath.
Let go of fear. Let go of pressure. Instead, embrace this time with excitement, curiosity, and an open heart. As you step into this new phase - whether pursuing a graduate, postgraduate, or doctoral degree - let me encourage you to begin this journey differently: without fear, without pressure, but with passion and purpose.
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." - Albert Einstein.
This is your time to shift from rote learning to real exploration, from textbooks to experiences, and from guided decisions to independent choices. Your university years are not just about academic excellence but also about shaping your identity, discovering your strengths, and preparing for the world ahead.
Psychologists and career experts agree that your late teens and twenties are the most formative years of your life. Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) suggests that 80% of life's most defining moments happen before the age of 35, and the experiences you gain in this decade significantly influence your future career, relationships, and personal growth. Your university years are not just about earning a degree. They're about discovering who you are. This is your time to explore new ideas, meet incredible people, and experience the freedom of making your own choices. Yes, you'll make mistakes. Yes, there will be challenges. But that's the beauty of growing up.
At our university, we encourage you to take risks, experiment, and learn from setbacks. Some of the most successful minds in the world made defining career and life choices in their twenties. Their success wasn't built on avoiding failure but on learning from it.
Your time here is not just about earning a degree - it's about shaping your journey. Engage in extracurricular activities, take on leadership roles, work on innovative projects, and build lifelong friendships. A study by Gallup found that students who actively engage in university activities beyond academics are 2.6 times more likely to feel prepared for post-graduate life.
"It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all." - J.K. Rowling
University life is a one-time opportunity, and these years will never come back. So, make them count.
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt.

REGISTRAR’s MESSAGE
Dear Future Leaders,
ITM University, Raipur, (ITMUR) has always aspired for a holistic and inclusive growth of the individuals as well as the society and hence, today it has earned the reputation of an emerging higher education institution in the region. Established in 2012 by Chhattisgarh Private Universities (Establishment and Operations Amendment) Act 2011[4] Section 9 (2) by ITM Society Raipur, the varsity has regularly been investing in human resources, creating processes and managing funds judiciously. It has stood firm to the growing demands by pursuing a synergetic and coherent structure.
The ITMUR adopted the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in conformity with the UGC and AICTE guideline from 2018 providing academic flexibilities to select courses from a basket of Program and Open Electives offered by Engineering, Architecture, Life Sciences, Management, Commerce, Hotel Management and Law programs. The University regularly organizes review, revision, and upgradation of the teaching courses and academic curriculum through wide consultation with all the stakeholders, including the Board of Studies (BoS) of each Department.
ITMUR also believes that it has a role in the transformation of society. It is with this perspective that we have adopted 3 villages, including 2 tribal villages, in Chhattisgarh, and our students today engage themselves in several civic and societal issues to transform the lives of these villagers through social responsibility forums and National Service Scheme.
At ITMUR, we firmly believe that we have an obligation to the profession, society, and nation that can be best realized by imparting quality education, enabling the pupils with confidence and conviction, and above all, creating characters to perform and contribute, pursue excellence in the profession and conduct life with a heart filled with compassion and dedication.
The ITMUR would remain adaptive to new ideas and strategies to meet and remain relevant to the growing aspirations of our young India by aiming at initiatives like start-ups and incubation centres, human development centres, offering facilities for women empowerment, social development and environmental protection to be enhanced for exploring new horizons in higher education and research. Thus, I take this opportunity to invite you to be a part of this ‘young, exuberant and illustrious’ ITMUR's journey for building an academically elite, professionally sound, and socially empowering institutional structure which remains flexible and fundamentally strong to face the upcoming environmental challenge.
Mr. Sourav Chatterjee
Registrar, ITM University, Raipur
