Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly believes in project-based learning as a core pedagogical approach. Projects are designed to simulate real-world business scenarios, encouraging students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges.
Mini-projects are assigned throughout the first three years of study. These projects typically last between 4-6 weeks and involve small teams working under faculty supervision. The scope includes problem identification, feasibility studies, prototyping, and presentation development.
The final-year capstone project requires students to propose, develop, and present a fully functional business idea or solution. Projects are selected in consultation with industry partners and faculty mentors, ensuring relevance and impact.
Evaluation criteria for projects include innovation level, feasibility, execution quality, teamwork, and presentation skills. Students also receive feedback from both peers and mentors to enhance their learning outcomes.
