With 14 years at Medicaps University, Kapil Shrivastav has grown from Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering to Director Admissions, leading UG, PG, and Doctorate admissions along with marketing, branding, and public relations.

Kapil Shrivastav is currently serving as Director-Admissions at Medicaps University, Indore. He has been associated with the institution for the last 14 years and began his stint at the university as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Over the years, his responsibilities have expanded to overseeing all admission processes of the university, including admissions to UG, PG, and Doctorate programs, along with marketing, branding, and public relations.

Kapil Shrivastav’s role revolves around the primary stakeholders of the university—the students. His work involves managing the complete admission cycle, from application processes and merit list preparation to result declaration and final enrollment for both UG and PG programs.

From the very first day, when he joined Medicaps University as an Assistant Professor he carried a clear ambition to reach a significant leadership position within an educational institution. He openly expresses his aspiration to become a Vice-Chancellor in the future and believes the path he has followed for the past 14 years is steadily guiding him toward that goal.

When it comes to achievements, Kapil Shrivastav says he believes they can be viewed in two aspects: personal and professional. From the day he joined as an Assistant Professor to now holding the position of Director-Admissions, he considers this steady rise within the same institution as his biggest professional achievement. Rather than claiming extraordinary accomplishments, , Kapil Shrivastav emphasizes that consistent growth, sustained dedication, and the trust earned from the institution over the years define his true success.

He believes in step-by-step progress—accepting responsibilities and fulfilling them properly while trusting that consistent effort works silently in the background. According to him, one does not need to overthink about success; steady progress and consistency naturally lead to growth.

Director-Admissions Kapil Shrivastav follows a principle often shared by his Vice-Chancellor: how we do one thing is how we do everything. For him, every responsibility must be carried out with full devotion. Whether it is academics or even cooking, the outcome depends not only on the ingredients but on the energy and intention behind the effort. He believes career progression works in the same way. While he is uncertain about where he will stand in the next ten years, he acknowledges that he has already reached a position he once never imagined. He does not separate hard work as a different concept; in his view, devotion itself ensures results.

On the personal front, Kapil Shrivastav reflects on his growth from being a bachelor at the time of joining the university to now being married to his loved one and a father to a two-year-old daughter. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance between personal and professional life. According to him, when there is harmony between the inner self and the outer world, mental peace follows—and that peace is more valuable than anything else.

Coming from a very small town and graduating from SRM University, Chennai, Kapil Shrivastav carries within him the perspective of a small-town boy who has experienced life in a metropolitan city. This contrast motivates him and shapes his approach toward students.

He believes that when someone has lived through different environments, they can guide others more effectively. He considers his role as a contribution toward nation-building. Meeting thousands of students every year, he feels that even if he can guide one student correctly toward the right career path, that impact alone holds immense value.
