The program emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of its pedagogy. Students are expected to complete two major projects during their academic journey: a mini-project in the second year and a capstone project in the final year. These projects are designed to simulate real-world challenges, requiring students to work in teams, conduct market research, develop business models, and present solutions to industry experts.
The selection process for these projects involves multiple stages including proposal submission, faculty review, stakeholder consultation, and mentor assignment. Faculty mentors are chosen based on their expertise and alignment with student interests. The evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, impact potential, presentation quality, and teamwork.
