Project-Based Learning Philosophy
At M V N University Palwal, project-based learning is central to our pedagogy. Students begin working on mini-projects in their second semester, focusing on real-world problems posed by industry partners or faculty researchers. These projects typically involve data collection, problem analysis, solution development, and presentation of findings.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive initiative where students collaborate with industry mentors to tackle complex business challenges. This project requires extensive research, stakeholder engagement, and the application of learned theories in practical contexts. Evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, impact potential, and professional presentation quality.
Faculty members guide students throughout the project process, providing mentorship, feedback, and access to resources. The selection of projects and mentors is facilitated through a structured process that matches student interests with faculty expertise and industry needs.
