Driven by a vision to make education meaningful, Dr. Mohit Gautam has devoted himself to nurturing young minds through innovation and strong moral values. With his group educating 2000+ students, he is empowering every student with the confidence, knowledge, and guidance needed to build a successful future.

Dr. Mohit Gautam, Director of Tilak Educational Group, Kota, Rajasthan, has been leading the institution for more than a decade with a vision of providing quality education that nurtures both academic excellence and strong moral values.

As Director, Dr. Mohit Gautam manages every aspect of Tilak Educational Group, including academics, curriculum, faculty, staff, student welfare, and the overall administration of the institution. His role extends far beyond management. He works closely with teachers, students, and parents to ensure that every child receives the guidance needed to achieve success.

One of the unique initiatives introduced by the institution is the Tutor System, designed especially for students who need additional academic support. Instead of treating weak students differently, teachers provide them with personal mentoring, identify their individual learning needs, and help students improve through regular guidance and encouragement. According to Dr. Mohit Gautam, every student has the ability to succeed if given the right environment, proper mentorship, and continuous motivation.

Dr. Mohit Gautam shares that the story of Tilak Educational Group began in 1984, when his father started the institution in a rented building with just 15 to 20 students. Through years of dedication and by the trust of parents, the institution steadily expanded. In 1992, its own school building was built, marking an important milestone in its story.

Today, Tilak Educational Group educates more than 2,000 students across six educational institutions, including Tilak Senior Secondary School (Co-educational), Tilak Girls Senior Secondary School, Tilak Public School (English Medium), Tilak Academy School, KT Public School, and another branch in Dambadi, serving students from Naya Gaon, Rojdi, and nearby areas of Kota. Several of these schools were established after parents expressed the need for quality education closer to their homes, where transportation was expensive and schools were located far away. One such branch welcomed more than 150 admissions in its very first year, becoming a significant achievement for the institution.

The Tilak Group has consistently maintained an excellent academic record. During the years when the Rajasthan Board used to release Merit Lists, eight to ten students from the institution regularly secured places in the merit list with outstanding scores. Even after the merit list system was discontinued, Tilak Educational Group has continued to deliver remarkable board examination results. Every year, around 25 to 30 students score above 90 percent in the RBSE Hindi-medium Class 10 and Class 12 Board examinations. Dr. Gautam attributes these achievements not only to dedicated teachers but also to students who attend school regularly, practise self-study, ask questions freely, and make the best use of the additional doubt-solving sessions offered by the faculty.

Academician Dr. Mohit Gautam believes that schools should contribute to societal development too. Between 2014 and 2017, he actively worked under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), a flagship skill development initiative under the Skill India Mission. During this period, he identified unemployed and underprivileged women and provided nearly 700 women with free training in tailoring and beauty parlour skills. Around 60 percent of these women became financially independent through self-employment or other job opportunities, with many earning between ₹30,000 and ₹40,000 per month. Listening to these women share their success stories remains one of the most satisfying experiences of his life. He also supported free education for deserving students and received recognition from the Government of India for his contribution to skill development.

The greatest influence in Educator Dr. Mohit Gautam's life has always been his parents, especially his father, who founded the Tilak Educational Group. Watching him dedicate himself completely to education left a lasting impression on Dr. Mohit. Every morning, his father would reach school early, personally manage the administration, interact with students and parents, and ensure that everything functioned smoothly. His hard work, honesty, and commitment inspired Dr. Gautam to continue the same legacy.

His father always shared one important lesson:\\\"A person learns from mistakes, but true wisdom lies in learning from them and ensuring they are never repeated.\\\"He also encouraged him to pursue his interests rather than simply choosing a profession because of societal expectations.

Another thought that continues to inspire Dr. Mohit Gautam is:

\\\"आपकी महत्वाकांक्षा, हमारा मार्गदर्शन—मिलकर गढ़ें एक बेहतर भविष्य।\\\"

For him, this is more than a slogan—it represents the purpose of education. Ambition gives students the courage to dream, while proper guidance helps them transform those dreams into reality. When determination is supported by the right mentorship, every challenge becomes an opportunity and every goal becomes achievable.

Dr. Mohit Gautam completed his primary education in Talwandi, Kota. During his school years, academic standards in Rajasthan were extremely competitive, and even securing 60 percent marks was considered sufficient to enter professional courses such as Medicine and Engineering.

Following his father's advice, he pursued MBBS and initially planned to build a career in Medicine. However, after moving to Delhi, he observed a significant difference in educational awareness and career guidance compared to Rajasthan. He realized that many students lacked proper counselling and information about educational opportunities.

This experience changed the direction of his life. Instead of continuing exclusively in medicine, he chose to return to Kota and dedicate himself to education. He believed that by guiding students at the right stage of their lives, he could create a much greater impact on society.

Although he completed his MBBS studies, his passion for social service and his desire to shape the future generation inspired him to dedicate his life to education. Today, he believes that education is not just about helping students score well in examinations but about preparing them to become confident, ethical, and responsible individuals.

However, Dr. Mohit Gautam's path was not free from challenges. When he first took over the responsibility of leading the institution, many staff members found his disciplined and strict administrative style difficult to accept. Initially, this created resistance within the organization. Instead of remaining rigid, he chose to understand different perspectives, improve his communication, and develop a more collaborative approach to leadership. Over time, those same colleagues began appreciating his vision and today often seek his advice and guidance.

He also learned that education requires patience not only with students but also with parents. Whenever parents approach him with concerns about their children's academic performance, he listens carefully, explains the situation respectfully, and encourages both parents and teachers to work together for the student's improvement.

One of his proudest achievements is witnessing the steady growth of Tilak Educational Group—from a small institution founded in a rented building to a respected educational group trusted by thousands of families. Equally rewarding is seeing former students achieve success in higher education and professional careers, knowing that the institution played a meaningful role in shaping their future.

Tilak Educational Group Director Dr. Mohit Gautam believes that a degree alone does not make someone a good teacher. Along with subject knowledge, every educator must possess effective communication skills, patience, empathy, and the willingness to continuously update themselves. As technology and learning methods evolve, teachers must also adapt so that education remains relevant and engaging for the next generation.

According to him, students often look up to their teachers as role models, much like they look up to their parents. Therefore, teachers should create a supportive and friendly environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their doubts, and learning without fear.

His message to educators is to \\\"Teach with clarity, patience, and compassion. Students may forget a lesson, but they will always remember a teacher who believed in them and guided them with kindness.\\\"

Dr. Mohit Gautam's advice to students is equally simple to \\\"Stay curious, work hard, ask questions, and never stop learning. Dream big, remain disciplined, and make the best use of the guidance you receive. When your ambition is supported by the right mentorship, success naturally follows.\\\"

Today, Dr. Mohit Gautam continues to carry forward the legacy of Tilak Educational Group with the same commitment and values on which it was founded. Through quality education, compassionate leadership, and meaningful social service, he remains dedicated to empowering young minds and building a brighter future for generations to come.
