Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Project-based learning is a cornerstone of our Management program, emphasizing hands-on experience and practical application. Students are required to complete both mini-projects and a final-year thesis, which are integral components of their academic journey.
Mini-Projects
Mini-projects are undertaken during the third and fourth semesters, allowing students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world business challenges. These projects are typically completed in teams and are evaluated based on the clarity of the problem statement, methodology, findings, and presentation skills. Students are encouraged to collaborate with industry partners and faculty members to ensure relevance and impact.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project is a comprehensive research endeavor that students undertake in their final year. It involves selecting a topic of interest, conducting in-depth research, and presenting findings to a panel of faculty members and industry experts. The project is supervised by a faculty mentor and must demonstrate critical thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to contribute to the field of Management.
Project Selection and Mentorship
Students are provided with a list of potential project topics, which are aligned with current industry trends and research areas. They can choose from a variety of topics or propose their own, subject to approval by the faculty. Each student is assigned a faculty mentor who guides them through the research process, provides feedback, and ensures that the project meets academic standards.
