Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department believes that learning is most effective when it is applied in real-world contexts. Project-based learning forms the cornerstone of our curriculum, encouraging students to solve authentic business problems through multidisciplinary teamwork.
Mini-Projects: These are structured assignments completed during each semester. Mini-projects allow students to apply concepts learned in class to specific industry cases or organizational challenges. Projects typically involve group work with clear deliverables and deadlines. Evaluation criteria include analytical rigor, creativity, presentation quality, and team collaboration.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project: The capstone project is a significant undertaking that integrates all learned skills and knowledge. Students select a topic relevant to their specialization area, work under the guidance of faculty mentors, and submit a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations. Projects often result in publications, patents, or direct implementation within partner organizations.
Project Selection Process: Students begin by identifying potential research areas aligned with their interests and career goals. Faculty mentors help refine these ideas and match students with appropriate resources and expertise. The selection process includes proposal reviews, literature surveys, and stakeholder consultations to ensure relevance and feasibility.
