As an Adjunct Professor at Northeastern University, I had the pleasure of having Nihal in my class. Nihal is bright, hardworking, and was always well-prepared for class. I found him to be a critical thinker with well-organized thought, which translated well to his excellent outcome in my class. Any employer would be lucky to have him on board. I highly recommend Nihal.
Amanda McEwen
Nihal was a student in the Spring 2020 course entitled "Global Impact of Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) Submissions," one of the required courses for Northeastern University's MS in Regulatory Affairs for Drugs, Biologics, and Medical Devices. Nihal not only regularly attended lectures but was also incredibly diligent in his completion of all assignments. The quality of content and analysis of the material was consistently high in Nihal's work, including his contributions to a group presentation which aims to have students synthesize all aspects of what they have learned about eCTD throughout the course. I am confident that with his background in PVG case processing as well as his excellent performance in the pursuit of his Master's degree in Regulatory Affairs, Nihal will be a valuable addition to any Reg Affairs department.
