Project-Based Learning Philosophy
At Mahindra University Telangana, project-based learning is at the core of our educational philosophy. We believe that students learn best when they are actively engaged in solving real-world problems. Our approach encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation by integrating practical experience with academic theory.
The structure of our projects involves several phases: problem identification, research, design, implementation, and evaluation. Students work in teams to tackle challenges posed by industry partners or societal issues. They receive guidance from faculty mentors throughout the process and present their findings at the end of each semester.
Evaluation criteria for projects include originality, feasibility, impact, teamwork, presentation quality, and adherence to timelines. Each project is assessed by a panel of faculty members and external experts to ensure that students meet industry standards.
Mini-projects are assigned in the second year and typically last two months. These projects allow students to explore specific topics in depth while developing technical and interpersonal skills. The final-year thesis or capstone project spans six months and requires students to apply all their learning to a comprehensive business challenge. Students select projects based on personal interests and career goals, often aligning with industry trends and company needs.
