The CASE Study Method |
|
The case
based learning is integrated as a dominant tool in the education
methodology which reinforces their understanding of the concepts and
enhances their ability to apply in real situations. To be an
effective professional, the student has to think and act like one.
Case studies add real-life perspective to the students. Through a
blend of Indian and International cases, students develop
decision-making skills by applying concepts to specific situations.
Role Play
Teaching through live performance in order to learn the basics
of the subject by role play in the class room is an advance
methodology. This develops the feeling of belongingness to the
organization, the team spirit and ultimately enabling students
to emerge as natural team leader.
Presentations (Training for Soft Skills)
The
institute provides training for soft skill along with the
academic curriculum. It provides strong practical orientations
to the students helping them in building and improving their
skills such as communication, presentations, group discussions,
interview and interpersonal skills, team building and business
correspondence. Some weightage is assigned in all the subjects
for presentation as a part of continuous evaluation system.
The
Summer Internship Programme (SIP)
Apart from
other tools of learning, one way of learning business is by action
and participation in research. Each student is required to undergo
six to eight weeks summer internship at leading corporations by
undertaking a project of direct relevance to the concerned
organization.
Subsequently, a presentation on the project and a viva-voce before

provides feedback to the Institute regarding the student
performance. Summer internship is an essential requirement for award
of the MBA degree.

the guidance of faculty involving application of concepts, tools
and techniques to the real-world problems or research on the
latest developments in the chosen fields of management. The
