 PREFACE
Training is a very necessary part or system in every organization. Training help the employees to

improve their self and increase their productivity in the organization. Training at AIT Bangkok

was very much effective it helps in adapting advanced level of technology, advance teaching and

learning exposure which fulfils the need of a student. The impact of training program is to mould

the student’s attitude and provide an umbrella of knowledge, innovation, experience and

exposure.

The main motive of being a part of training at AIT was to analyse the teaching and learning

methodology of it and then finding where the educational institute are lacking behind. For this I

conduct a research on the basis of personal experiences, gained there, self-observation of the

student of AIT itself that how they are different from Indian student. The data is also collected

through questionnaire which was filed by the student of UGI as well as the volunteers and

students of AIT.

The finding of my research study is, though the Indian educational institutes are flourishing in

our country, but no comparison with the foreign education study structure, and institute they are

lagging far behind in terms of technology, teaching-learning methodology, infrastructure,

educational system etc.

There are certain suggestion for improving these educational institute which govern needs to

follow. The fair chances should be given to every potential student in context of infrastructure,

policies, foreign exposure etc.

INTRODUCING ASIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

The Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) was founded in 1959 by eight country members of the

South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), originally as the SEATO Graduate School of

Engineering. In 1967, AIT became independent of SEATO, and was established as an

autonomous, truly international not-for-profit institution of higher learning. AIT is hosted by

Thailand, but does not operate under the ambit of Thailand, and is empowered to grant its own

degrees, under the AIT Enabling Act, issued by Thailand in 1967. AIT has a unique international

character, with 70% of its 2,000 plus student population hailing from outside the host country,

from all corners of Asia and the rest of the world. In 2015, AIT was adjudged the world’s top-

ranked international university by the EU-funded U-Multi rank 2015 institutional ranking.

Today’s AIT graduates are a who’s who of success stories in both the public and private sectors

in more than half the world’s countries, including the current Premier of Taiwan. AIT has a very

strong global network of institutional partners from all over the world, and as a neutral non-

political independent international institution with a regional mandate, provides a platform for

Asia, in addressing cross-border regional issues.

14 | P a g e
Recognized for its multinational, multicultural ethos, the Institute operates as a self-contained

international community at its campus located 40km (25 miles) north of downtown Bangkok,

Thailand.

Besides the usual labs and academic buildings, the main campus includes housing, sports, and

medical facilities, a conference centre, and a library with over 230,000 volumes and 830 print

and on-line periodicals.

15 | P a g e
The year 2015 was another challenging but equally rewarding year for Asian Institute of

Technology (AIT), overall it was a successful year for the institute’s student, faculty and

Staff members who collaborated with myriad partners as well as our valued AIT alumni

Around the world. Happily AIT succeeded on a number of fronts in 2015. A high priority was

Bring stability to the Institute, which had experienced considerable financial, management

And governess stress in the recent past.

The Institute was able to plug the leaks, and halt the financial bleeding that took AIT on

Downhill path in former years. Importantly, AIT regards the trust and the support of strategic

Partners, especially its host country, Thailand. The Institute is now moving in the right

16 | P a g e
Direction, with renewed strength and vigour. They have always believed that they should

Reinvigorate the three most important parts of the AIT engine- FACULTY, STUDENTS and

The FINANCES, which are referred to as the ‘TRIANGLE OF GROWTH’. In its principle, AIT

aims to increase the strength of its faculty to attract a good student population which

Will give more revenues to hire top faculties, enabling the institute to attract even more

Students, which will in turn results in even higher revenues and more progress in the years to

Come.

Normalizing relations with the host country Thailand not only brought us the needed financial

resources, but also regained the trust and support of others donors. With other financial health,

AIT can afford to upgrade its campus environment to be more conductive to attracting top

faculty and students. There were three campus issues that needed to be addressed, the research

equipment, the library facilities and the campus infrastructure. All these are time worn and in

dire need of a major overhaul after 40 years of use, even before floods. In fact, the flood served

as a blessing in disguise, providing us with a golden opportunity to completely renovate the

campus. On the library, there is a worldwide that university libraries are exploring a new model

for service delivery, known as “Digital Consumers”.

Many campus libraries have remodelled their physical facilities in order to best serve students

and faculty, adding computers, cafes, classrooms, outlets and study area. This trend is very

timely in providing AIT an opportunity to raise funds to modernize our library, rather than just

repairing its flood damaged ground floor. It is well known in the philanthropic world that doors

want their money to be associated with building a future success, rather than repairing a past

17 | P a g e
failure. That has been one of the main reason and motivations behind why we chose to embark

on a fundraising campaign for our library modernization.

As you know, thanks to the overwhelming support of alumni and friends, AIT was able to

Raise around 80 million Baht, which is about twice of our original target. On the equipment,

Most flood damaged equipment have been repaired, except some that are outdated or too

Expensive. We are embarking on a target campaign to upgrade our labs, utilizing our alumni

Networks and approaching private corporations. It is more suitable to install built in

manufacturing which allows all fields to accumulate their operational surplus for a periodical

equipment upgrade and the Administration will be preparing this to the board.

On the campus infrastructure is the parts of the immediate after math of the floods, a lot of patch

work repair carried out in different parts of the campus in order to quickly resume the campus

life. I have received the approval from the Board to use the rest of the insurance money to

replace, rejuvenate and upgrade the entire campus.

18 | P a g e
 AIT Annual Report 2017

Campus infrastructure backbone, namely

(1) Air conditioning system,

(2) Electrical system,

(3) Water supply system,

(4) Waste water system, and

(5) Ground and pavement system.

This will be the five major campus renovation carried out since AIT moved to this brand new

Campus in 1997. Once these issues have been properly addressed, the campus environment

Should be much more conductive to international learning and research. I am confident that,

Slowly but surely, AIT will be able to positively drive the wheel of the “Triangle of Growth”

Into a new era. While 2015 was a year of reflection, restraints and rehabilitation, 2016 has been a

year of transformation year of AIT. I wish to thank the board of Trustees, Executive

Committee, Alumni, Partners and the AIT community members for the understanding, the

Constructive advices and the patience during the transformation work in progress. The

Institute welcomes your positive participation in the journey ahead and looks forward to your

19 | P a g e
Strong and continued support. In 2017, it provides a consolidated overview of all the sponsored

activities conducted across the institute during the year. AIT has played an important role in the

development of technologies and scientific competence and capacity of the Asian region and

beyond.

AIT School of Management (SOM) was established in October 1987 to meet the growing needs

in Asia for graduate management education. In line with AIT’s mission, SOM’s objective is to

make a difference in the quality of management education and practices in the Asia-Pacific

region leading to sustainable development, technological leadership, entrepreneurial spirit,

wealth creation and pride. SOM believes in the development of corporate leaders not just for the

present but also for the future to face the challenges posed by the dramatic social, economic,

political and technological changes in Asia. The programs at SOM offer a unique competitive

advantage to managers and future leaders in the region.

Currently SOM has students from over 40 countries and various academic backgrounds

enrolled in its programs. In every case study, group work and assignment the students work in

groups with students from 3 or more different nations. The bonds formed by the students during

their stay in SOM have proved as important as the knowledge and skills they gain. At SOM we

stress on ethics and moral values as much as the need to produce managers who can drive

their organizations to profitability and prosperity.

as with partial funding through the AIT fellowships scheme.

The AIT seeks to promote technological change and sustainable development in the Asian-

Pacific region through higher education, research and outreach. It is a leading regional

postgraduate institution and is actively working with public and private sector partners

throughout the region and with some of the top universities in the world.

In 1989, the Ramon Magsaysay Award for International Understanding was granted to AIT.

The AIT presently has around 2000 Students from over 40 countries and 130 Faculty from

over 20 countries. There are more than 15,000 Alumni from 80 Countries. The AIT has nearly

600 Research and Support Staff from around 30 Countries and around 200 Sponsored Research

Projects. India is on the 29-member Board of Trustee (drawn from 21 Countries).There are more

than 60 Indian students at AIT. There are around 15 Faculty members from India. AIT has

worked with Indian academic institutions such as Indian Institutes of Management (IIM),

Ahmadabad (IIMA) and Calcutta (IIMC). AIT partners with two Indian universities –

are currently happening in the industry. Industry 4.0 is the subset of the fourth

industrial revolution that concerns industry. The fourth industrial revolution

encompasses areas which are not normally classified as industry, such as smart

cities for instance.

Although the terms industry 4.0 and fourth industrial revolution are often used

interchangeably, industry 4.0 refers to the concept of factories in which machines

are augmented with wireless connectivity and sensors, connected to a system that

can visualise the entire production line, control, and make decisions on its own.

In essence, industry 4.0 describes the trend towards automation and data exchange

in manufacturing technologies and processes which include cyber-physical systems

(CPS), the internet of things (IoT), industrial internet of things (IIOT), cloud

computing, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence.

The ultimate goal of IoT applications in waste management is producing leaner operations and

delivering higher quality services to citizens. A growing collection of interlinked autonomous

systems are managing everyday urban operations and improving both citizen experiences and our

carbon footprint. Ultimately, however, we need deeper coordination between public sectors

through a mix of regulation and incentives and private sectors through a willingness to engage

NANOTECHNOLOGY:

-by Prof. Louis Hornyak

Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field and hence this programme is addressed to both kkk

engineering and science background students. The Master of Engineering program in

nanotechnology focusing on advanced materials and Nano-materials. It aims to prepare students

to play an active role in shaping their career in the application of appropriate

Nano technology is the application of Nano-science to industry and commerce. Nano-science

and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used

across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and

engineering.

A horizontal – enabling convergent technology that cuts across all vertical industrial sectors,

while Nano-science that cuts across all vertical science and engineering disciplines.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology involve the ability to see and to control individual atoms and

molecules. Everything on Earth is made up of atoms—the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the

buildings and houses we live in, and our own bodies.

But something as small as an atom is impossible to see with the naked eye. In fact, it’s

impossible to see with the microscopes typically used in a high school science classes. The

microscopes needed to see things at the nanoscale were invented relatively recently—about 30

years ago.

48 | P a g e
Once scientists had the right tools, such as the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the

atomic force microscope (AFM), the age of nanotechnology was born.

Although modern nanoscience and nanotechnology are quite new, nanoscale materials were used

for centuries. Alternate-sized gold and silver particles created colors in the stained glass windows

of medieval churches hundreds of years ago.

TELECOMMUNICATION:

By Dr. Poompat

INTRODUCTION:-

A lack of efficient telecommunications networks and the disparity between rural and

metropolitan areas in telecommunications capacity are some of the most serious impediments to

sustainable development and growth in the Asia-Pacific region. The Telecommunications (TC)

field of study aims to foster national development and enhance economic productivity by

educating students in the design, implementation and deployment of telecommunications

networks and related applications.

Telecommunications, also known as telecom, is the exchange of information over significant

distances by electronic means and refers to all types of voice, data and video transmission. This

is a broad term that includes a wide range of information transmitting technologies such as

telephones (wired and wireless), microwave communications, fiber optics, satellites, radio and

television broadcasting, the internet and telegraphs.

A complete, single telecommunications circuit consists of two stations, each equipped with a

transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and receiver at any station may be combined into a

single device called a transceiver. The medium of signal transmission can be via electrical wire

or cable (also known as "copper"), optical fiber, electromagnetic fields or light. The free space

transmission and reception of data by means of electromagnetic fields is called wireless

communications.

50 | P a g e
COMMUNICATION KEY SUCCESS:-

Good communication skills are key to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective

communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, frustration, or even disaster by

being misinterpreted or poorly delivered.

Communication is the process by which we exchange information between individuals or groups

of people. It is a process where we try as clearly and accurately as we can, to convey our

thoughts, intentions and objectives. Communication is successful only when both the sender and

the receiver understand the same information.

In today's highly informational and technological environment it has become increasingly

important to have good communication skills. While many individuals still continue to struggle,

the inability to communicate effectively will hold them back not only in their careers, but in

social and personal relationships.

51 | P a g e
COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO SUCCESS ONLINE:

Now that such a considerable amount of our daily lives is facilitated by the internet, digital

communication skills are essential to ensure messages are delivered and received correctly, and

virtual wires are not crossed in the process. 

Some forms of online communication do not allow immediate feedback, so it’s essential to

present compelling messages in a one-way setting in order to be successful. Communication

failures, on the other hand, come at no small price when customers receive poorly crafted

messages, they form unfavourable conclusions about your brand.

There aren’t many chances to improve the first impression, these five useful skills for online

communication will help you avoid unnecessary complications and improve the profitability of

your business.

1. Follow ‘netiquette’:

When people meet in person for the first time, there are certain unwritten rules of it’s customary

to behave with propriety and decorum. ‘Netiquette’ is the framework of accepted behaviours

when communicating online. In many ways, the importance of netiquette exceeds that of in-

person etiquette, because unlike fleeting acquaintances, the internet creates a permanent record

of communications which can haunt people and businesses that have been ineffective or

offensive in previous online interactions. When communicating via faceless channels, such as

email or social platforms, it’s important to remember that there is a real person on the receiving

end, although you cannot see them. This will also ensure you are using human language, rather

than writing with a robot receiver in mind. 

52 | P a g e
2. Use clear and concise language:

When writing content, it’s important to write in a style that your audience will enjoy reading.

Consider the following:

Tone of voice: Are you writing a formal piece of copy that calls for sophisticated vocabulary, or

would your audience respond better to a more casual, conversational writing style?

Technical jargon: Too much industry ‘jargon’ could end up alienating audiences unfamiliar

with such specific terminology. Instead, use technical terms where necessary, but aim to keep

your content as accessible as possible. When using acronyms always write the full phrase out in

full the first time you use it followed by the acronym in brackets – eg search engine optimisation

(SEO). That way, readers will know exactly what you are referring to later in the text.

Break up your text: A long page of unbroken copy is likely to put many readers off. Use

subheadings, bullet points, and lists to break up your content into digestible chunks that look less

daunting on the screen. From an SEO perspective, a well-structured web page is also far easier

for spiders to crawl and index. 

3. Convey the right tone:

Online communications differ from in-person encounters because they often lack non-verbal

cues such as facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice.

When communicating online with customers and prospects, it is therefore important to establish

the correct tone of a conversation from the outset. Humour can be an effective ice breaker when

used in face-to-face situations and can help build a rapport with new acquaintances, however

53 | P a g e
tread carefully when using humorous language online; avoid tones that can be easily

misinterpreted in writing, such as sarcasm or irony, so as not to inadvertently offend people and

burn bridges you’ve worked hard to build.

Although corporate culture often dictates the tone of language used for business, different

communication styles may be chosen based on context. For example, you can use colloquial

terms when chatting with a long-time customer, but when it comes to resolving customer

complaints, using formal and grammatically correct speech is usually best to ensure the customer

knows you are taking matters seriously.

4. Provide thorough responses:

When writing responses to your customers, be sure to thoroughly address all the issues presented

to you. In some situations, it is possible to anticipate the follow-up questions customers might

ask to make communication faster and more efficient.

A bit of preparation goes a long way. Sometimes business workers fail to provide complete

answers to enquiries because they do not take the necessary time to read, absorb, and understand

what a customer has to say. As a general rule, you should always provide answers to basic

questions such as “Who?”, “What?”, “When?”, “Where?”, “Why?”, and “How?”.

54 | P a g e
5. Build a favourable online persona:

Businesses need to communicate well in both personal and online settings in order to build and

maintain positive sentiment within their target markets. However, online communication often

presents added difficulties because of the absence of nonverbal cues. By focusing on clear and

concise writing, as well as on conveying appreciation for your customers, you can maintain a

high level of online professionalism that will build rapport with the community and inspire

goodwill among your prospects.

RELATION OF THE TOPIC WITH THE AREA OF BUSINESS

The service marketing mix is also known as the extended marketing mix and is an integral

part of a service blueprint design. The service marketing mix consist of 3P’s out of 7P’s of

marketing mix. Simply said, the service marketing mix assumes the service as a product

itself. However education sector also adds 3 more P’s which are required for optimum service

delivery.

The extended service marketing mix places 3 further P’s which include people, process and

physical evidence. In educational sector all these three factors are necessary for optimum

service delivery.

People-

People are one of the elements of service marketing mix. People define a service. If you

have an IT company, your software engineers define you. If you have a restaurant, your chef

and service staff defines you. If you are into banking, an employee in your branch and their

behaviour towards customers defines you. In case of service marketing, people can make or

break an organization.

71 | P a g e
Thus many companies nowadays are involved into specially getting their staff trained in

interpersonal skills and customer service with a focus towards customer satisfaction. In fact

many companies have to undergo accreditation to show that their staff is better than the rest.

definitely a USP in case of services.

Process-

Service process is the way in which a service is delivered to the end customer. Lets take the

example of two very good companies – McDonalds and FedEx. Both the companies thrive on

their quick service and the reason they can do that is their confidence on their processes.

On top of it, the demand of these services is such that they have to deliver optimally without

a loss in quality. Thus the process of a service company in delivering its product is of utmost

importance. It is also a critical component in the service blueprint, wherein before

establishing the service, the company defines exactly what should be the process of the

service product reaching the end customer.

72 | P a g e
Physical Evidence-

The last element in the service marketing mix is a very important element. As said before,

services are intangible in nature. However, to create a better customer experience tangible

elements are also delivered with the service. Take an example of a restaurant which has only

chairs and tables and good food, or a restaurant which has ambient lighting, nice music along

with good seating arrangement and this also serves good food. Which one will you prefer?

The one with the nice ambience. That’s physical evidence.

Several times, physical evidence is used as a differentiator in service marketing. Imagine a

private hospital and a government hospital. A private hospital will have plush offices and

well dressed staff. Same cannot be said for a government hospital. Thus physical evidence

acts as a differentiator.

 For secondary data collection websites and broachers of AIT &AKTU are used.

TOOLS & TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS OF DATA-

 Questionnaires

 Personal experience

76 | P a g e
LIMITATION OF STUDY- Following are the limitations of my research study

which I faced throughout my research process.

 LACK OF TIME- education is quite a vast sector for research study

whereas the time limit of 45 days as per the norms did not allow me to go

more deeper into the subject matter,

 LACK OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES- financial resource is one of

the major factor required for completion of research study. This was also

one of the constraints faced during my research study.

 PERSONAL BIASNESS OF RESPONDENTS- the respondents of

questionnaire were human beings and it is a tendency for them to avoid

these things

 LANGUAGE BARRIER- Thailand has a complete different language

culture which was a hindrance to my study.

 FINDINGS

After conducting research on comparative analysis of M.B.A Program at AIT, Bangkok

with Indian educational system with special reference to AKTU, I have come to the

following findings:-

1. The curriculum or the syllabus for students in our country in higher education

outdated in most of the cases. It is stale, dogmatic and teaches things that the

world has moved on with. Whereas after evaluating the teaching-learning

methodology adopted at AIT, I have found that AIT actually adopts technological

and unconventional method of teaching.

2. After evaluating the practical exposure of students of AIT & students of AKTU, I

have found that not more than few colleges under AKTU are strictly adopting

practical exposure for students. At the same time AIT focuses more practical

rather than theoretical lectures.

3. After evaluating the Academic structure and career opportunities of AIT, I have

found that AIT offers a diverse field of recruiters on the global level to its

students.

104 | P a g e
4. After analyzing the relevance of AIT at an academic destination for Asian students, I

have found that in India there are not many college which provides academic

destination for foreign students.

105 | P a g e
CHAPTER 7

106 | P a g e
SUGGESTIONS:

MAKE THE CURRICULUM DYNAMIC NOT DOGMATIC:-

To infuse dynamism, you need the curriculum to be progressive in nature. People

need to be given the option of doing multiple courses in the first year and allowed

to choose what they want after the first semester or year. The spirit of curriculum

should be projects driven not exams driven, it should be innovation driven and it

should evolve not stay stagnated. Exams need to be there to measure but they

should be complimented with incentives for innovations (say final exams should

be 50% theory and 50% practical). The student should be given an option to

switch the stream if they feel so. For all this to happen, you need to have young

and dynamic faculty sitting on the academic syllabus board, which is basically the

issue.

107 | P a g e
EXPECTATIONS FROM EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS :-

Institutes of higher education, through their curriculum, are expected to provide knowledge

and wisdom and character to the students. “Knowledge” enables them to understand what

they learn in relation to what they already know, and creates an ability to generalize from

their expressions. ”Know-how” takes them beyond merely understanding and enables them to

put their knowledge to work. “Wisdom” makes them capable of deciding their priorities.

“Character” development is the combined effect of knowledge, know-how and wisdom,

coupled with motivation. Character development is recognized by certain traits, wiz honesty,

integrity, initiative, curiosity, truthfulness, cooperativeness, self-esteem and ability to work

alone in a group.

108 | P a g e
DOUBLE DEGREE BENEFIT SHOULD BE ADOPTED:-

A double degree benefit provided by foreign universities attracts students from India. Indian

education is very strict in terms of courses offered and the way these are taught. Flexibility

should be provided while choosing range of subjects.

109 | P a g e
CHAPTER 8

110 | P a g e
 CONCLUSION:

After conducting research on comparative analyses of “MBA Program and career

opportunities in AIT, Bangkok with Indian educational Institutes with special reference to

AKTU, I have came to following findings:

1. There are many colleges under AKTU, which provides foreign exposure and internship

to both students and faculties like UNITED GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS but majority

of colleges are still lagging behind in term of foreign exposure.

2. Education system should be project oriented rather than theory oriented. Projects and

practical exposure will make the students learn more and get experience. The new

syllabus pattern of AKTU has added case studies for MBA students which will help the

students to enhance their managerial skills.
