Dr. Gajendra Purohit Addresses Students at Technex 2026, IIT (BHU) Varanasi

Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh — 2026 — The 87th edition of Technex, hosted at the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), featured an engaging and thought-provoking session by Dr. Gajendra Purohit, who interacted with B.Tech students on key aspects of academic growth, career planning, and personal development. Known for his impactful mentorship in mathematics and higher education, Dr. Purohit’s session stood out for its relevance to students navigating multiple ambitions within the demanding structure of engineering education.

Addressing Real Challenges: Time Management and Momentum

A central theme of the session was time management, a challenge widely shared by students striving to balance academics, competitive exam preparation, skill development, and startup ambitions. Dr. Purohit emphasized the importance of setting clear priorities and maintaining discipline to effectively pursue multiple goals without losing direction. He also highlighted a critical concern—the loss of momentum after entering college—noting that the intensity students demonstrate during Class 11–12 often declines during undergraduate years. He urged students to view college not merely as a phase for earning a degree, but as a crucial period for discovering potential and building meaningful outcomes.

Building Mindset, Values, and Entrepreneurial Thinking

Beyond academics, Dr. Purohit’s interaction focused on shaping a well-rounded mindset. He spoke about the importance of peer learning, encouraging students to surround themselves with individuals who inspire growth. He also stressed values such as dreaming big, maintaining responsibility toward parents, respecting teachers and mentors, and cultivating a giving attitude in life. On entrepreneurship, he encouraged students to adopt the mindset of a job creator rather than just a job seeker, emphasizing that innovation requires both courage and long-term vision. These ideas resonated deeply with students exploring startup pathways alongside traditional career routes.

A key aspect of Dr. Purohit’s influence continues through MathsCare, the educational initiative through which he mentors students preparing for competitive exams such as IIT JAM, GATE, and CSIR-NET. His emphasis on conceptual clarity, discipline, and sustained effort was clearly reflected in his address at Technex 2026. The session concluded with an engaging Q&A, where students shared thoughtful questions and perspectives, reinforcing the interactive and impactful nature of the discussion. His visit to IIT (BHU) Varanasi once again highlighted his role as a mentor committed to guiding students toward purposeful and balanced career paths.
