Higher education is a dynamic, determinedly developing concept that keeps adapting to the most up-to-date changes. Likewise, the methodology and style used in teaching and research is equally momentary in nature and demands up-to-date approaches as well. Educationists need to absorb the fundamental nature of the evolutionary character of higher education in academic curriculum, empowering students and scholars to create an updated learning process that is pragmatic, effective and methodically impactful. In the present era of knowledge and technology driven, every educational institute must have to improve the quality of education for the better future in competitive world.
