Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department places a strong emphasis on project-based learning as a means of enhancing student engagement and practical skills development. Mini-projects are integrated throughout the program to allow students to apply theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios. These projects typically span 6–8 weeks and involve interdisciplinary collaboration with faculty mentors from different departments.
The final-year capstone project, known as the 'Business Innovation Challenge,' requires students to work in teams to solve a complex business problem posed by industry partners or external stakeholders. The challenge involves developing a comprehensive solution, presenting it to a panel of experts, and submitting a detailed report for evaluation.
Students select their projects based on personal interest, career goals, and faculty availability. Each student is assigned a primary mentor who guides them through the research process, provides feedback, and ensures alignment with industry standards. The project selection process includes a proposal submission phase where students must demonstrate feasibility, relevance, and innovation.
