Experiential Learning
Experiential Learning process is portrayed as an idealized learning cycle or spiral where the learner “touches all the bases”—experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting. The process of learning from experience is ubiquitous, present in human activity everywhere all the time. The holistic nature of the learning process means that it operates at all levels of human society from the individual, to the group, to organizations and to society as a whole.
Students are expected to learn basic aspects of business and industry, operational aspects related to formalities and documents required to start a business, understanding of business and its model, structure of the firm/company, products/services, customers, and competitors, challenges faced by the entrepreneur, marketing aspects, production aspects, and finance aspects etc. Students carry out various experiential learning activities: Corporate interview, Industrial Visit, NGO Visit, Simulations, and various other activities which cement their learnings.
