Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department strongly advocates for project-based learning as a cornerstone of the Management curriculum. Projects are designed to simulate real-world business challenges, requiring students to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application.
Mini-projects are undertaken in the third and fourth semesters, where students work in teams to address case studies provided by industry partners or faculty members. These projects emphasize problem-solving, collaboration, and presentation skills.
The final-year capstone project is a significant component of the program. Students select a topic aligned with their specialization and work closely with a faculty mentor to conduct an in-depth study or develop a business solution. The process includes proposal development, literature review, data collection, analysis, and final reporting.
Evaluation criteria include creativity, relevance, feasibility, presentation quality, and contribution to the field of management. Students must demonstrate proficiency in critical thinking, research methodology, and stakeholder communication throughout their project journey.
