Project-Based Learning Framework

The program integrates project-based learning throughout the curriculum, ensuring students gain practical experience in real-world scenarios. Mini-projects are assigned during the first three years, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to emerging business challenges. These projects often involve collaboration with industry partners and provide opportunities for innovation and experimentation.

Final-year capstone projects require students to work on a significant business problem or opportunity under the guidance of faculty mentors. Projects typically span 12 weeks and must culminate in a detailed report, presentation, and demonstration. Faculty members from various disciplines guide these projects, ensuring multidisciplinary perspectives are incorporated.

Students select their projects based on personal interests, industry trends, and alignment with specialization tracks. Each student is paired with a faculty mentor who provides regular feedback, facilitates connections with external experts, and ensures project progress aligns with academic standards.
