A Balanced Blend of Academics, Opportunities and Campus Life

I chose this course because of its focus on brand management and interaction with people and the inclusion of projects and programs. The curriculum's emphasis on interdisciplinary learning was a deciding factor for me. The curriculum includes practical sessions, projects and internships that help me prepare for future to interact and create a good impression with my clients. However some outdated topics could be replaced with modern and trendy areas like AI or data analytics for better alignment with industry demands. We have lot of case studies and classroom workshops to make learning more experiential. We interact and open up our ideas with the whole class hence making communication easier. Our teachers also use more interactive teaching approaches like peer learning and group projects and tons of workshops from industry experts to enhance learning. Exams are held at regular intervals typically with midterms and finals each semester along with internal assessments. The schedule is adjustable giving us time to prepare for our exams. Exams are challenging and focus on understanding concepts. For those who stay consistent with their studies its quite manageable but for students who rely on last minute preparation might struggle.

It includes both theoretical and practical aspects ensuring that the students are well prepared.
