Project-Based Learning Approach
Our program emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of education. The approach involves structured projects that simulate real-world challenges faced by HR professionals. Students begin with mini-projects in their second year, progressing to full-scale capstone projects in their final year.
Mini Projects are designed to build foundational skills through small-scale investigations or case analyses. These projects typically involve 3-5 students and last for 4-6 weeks. They are evaluated based on research quality, presentation skills, and peer feedback.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Projects are more extensive and require independent research or consultancy work with an industry partner. Students select mentors from faculty members who specialize in their chosen area of interest. The projects are evaluated using a rubric that assesses originality, relevance, methodology, and impact.
The selection process for projects involves multiple steps including proposal submission, mentor matching, and progress tracking. Faculty members guide students throughout the process, ensuring they meet academic standards while addressing practical challenges.
