Programme Pedagogy
The programme pedagogy offers scope for rich experiential learning through case studies, lectures and discussions, audio-visual aids, presentations, group learning from fellow participants and interaction with the entrepreneurial network of investors, entrepreneurs and mentors.
The interactions during the sessions would include discussion on real life situations faced by small enterprises in functional areas of management. We encourage participants to share their experiences, which in turn enables them solve their problems with support of the faculty. The participants are requested to carry relevant data and information to make such interactions meaningful.
