Project-Based Learning Philosophy

The department believes in experiential learning through project-based education. Students engage in both mini-projects and a final-year capstone project that mirrors real-world business challenges. The mini-projects are typically completed during the third and fourth semesters, while the capstone project spans the entire sixth semester.

Mini-Projects

These projects are designed to give students practical experience in applying theoretical concepts. Each project is assigned by a faculty mentor and involves working in teams of 3-5 students. The evaluation criteria include problem identification, solution design, implementation process, presentation quality, and peer feedback.

Final-Year Capstone Project

The capstone project is the culmination of the student's learning journey. It requires students to select a real business problem, conduct thorough research, propose actionable solutions, and present findings to industry experts. The project is supervised by a faculty mentor and evaluated based on innovation, depth of analysis, feasibility, and impact potential.

Students can choose their projects from various domains including marketing, finance, HR, operations, and strategy. They may also propose their own ideas after consulting with their mentors and the department head.
