Mini-Projects

Each mini-project is typically completed over a period of 4-6 weeks and involves extensive research, analysis, and presentation components.

The final-year capstone project is a significant component of the MBA program that requires students to undertake an in-depth study or solve a complex business problem. Students work closely with faculty mentors and industry advisors to develop innovative solutions that address real-world issues.

Students select their projects based on their interests and career goals, often aligning with current trends in the business world. The selection process involves submitting a proposal, which is reviewed by a committee of faculty members who assess its relevance, feasibility, and potential impact.

The evaluation criteria for capstone projects include the clarity of objectives, depth of research, quality of analysis, innovation in approach, presentation skills, and overall contribution to the field.
