Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our approach to project-based learning is centered on fostering critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and collaborative skills essential for future leaders in business. Mini-projects are assigned at the end of each semester, allowing students to apply newly acquired knowledge to real-world scenarios.
The final-year capstone project requires students to select a topic aligned with their specialization and conduct an in-depth study or implementation of a business solution. Projects are supervised by faculty members who guide students through research design, data collection, analysis, and presentation development.
Students are encouraged to collaborate with industry partners, startups, or NGOs to ensure relevance and practical impact. The selection process involves a proposal submission, followed by mentor matching based on expertise alignment and availability. Evaluation criteria include project scope, methodology, innovation, feasibility, and presentation quality.
