Industrial Visit 12^th March 2019 to 17^th March 2019

Industrial visits represent an important activity in a management program because it contributes to the achievement of various essential learning outcomes and program objectives. They help in filling gaps in the syllabus coverage too. Periodic industrial visits are an integral part of the management course pedagogy.

The visits are planned for cordial interactions with the industry champions in form of questions and answers. Questionnaires, schedules and survey forms are used for collecting data for research which enables them to prepare project reports. The pre-visit and post-visit surveys are aimed at priming the minds of students by gauging the level of satisfaction, and assessing the level of retention of knowledge respectively.
