Project-Based Learning Framework
The project-based learning framework at Satyendra Chandra Guria Institute Of Management Andtechnology is designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. Students begin with mini-projects in their second year, working on topics such as market analysis, business model development, or product ideation. These projects are supervised by faculty members and often involve collaboration with industry partners.
The final-year capstone project requires students to develop a comprehensive entrepreneurial venture plan. This includes conducting feasibility studies, creating financial models, preparing investor pitch decks, and presenting their ideas to panels of experts. The process is supported by a dedicated mentorship program where students are paired with experienced entrepreneurs and industry professionals.
Project selection involves a combination of student interest, faculty expertise, and market relevance. Students are encouraged to propose their own ideas, but they can also choose from pre-approved topics that align with current trends in entrepreneurship and innovation.
Evaluation criteria for projects include creativity, feasibility, research depth, presentation quality, teamwork, and adherence to ethical standards. The assessment process is transparent and involves both faculty evaluation and peer review components.
