Field Work & Live Project

The MBA Programme is spread over the four semesters and involves one fieldwork practicum during the first semester. Fieldwork being one of the very components of the curriculum is also frequently revisited to make it sync with the theoritical instructions imparted during the semester. The fieldwork practicum is designed in a manner to enable students to relate theoretical inputs in each semester with practical situations in the field and to get acquainted with the problems and challenges of the people at the grassroots level. The enduring supervision provided both in the agency and by the concerned faculty guide will enrich the students in becoming competent in terms of practice. The synchronization of theory and practice will enable the student to imbibe components essential to harmonize oneself in becoming a professional.
