THE CURRICULUM

The curriculum development is a team process. The team makes a systematic decision on the learner’s characteristics, indented outcomes, content, methods and evaluation strategies. Each step in the curriculum development process builds on the previous step to provide systematic approach. The curriculum development process systematically organizes what will be taught, who will be taught, and how it will be taught. Always, there are new ways to put things together in s little different way, to be more systematic or to adjust and adopt new situations. We borrowed ideas, from various sources on the concepts for Curriculum Development, progress planning, evaluation and training.

INNOVATIVE TEACHING LEARNING METHODS

CIMAT has brought in many new innovative pedagogies for various courses in the MBA program. Many pedagogies effectively teach management concepts and theories, transforming students into world-class global managers with managerial and decision-making skills. Initiatives by the Faculty on teaching and learning is summarized below under five heads,

Experiential Learning

Experiential learning provides an opportunity for active/interactive learning experiences in-class as well outside the classroom environment. With such real time learning activities, students can better identify their prospective areas of work in the overall organizational functions.

CIMAT largely adopts experiential learning such as Industrial Visits, Field Visits and Real Time Trading Program (RTTP) as a value-added learning method for management students. Learning from textbooks, lectures and other study material does not suffice for holistic learning. Practical, hands-on learning is essential for better understanding of work processes and business functions. Such visits and real time programs give greater clarity about important management concepts, as students practically experience how these concepts are put into action. Students pursuing functional specializations in Marketing/ Finance/ Operations/ HR/ Analytics and Entrepreneurship help them gain hands-on experience of how industry operations are executed.

Student members > Brainstorming > Selection of Market > Faculty Approval > Preparation of Unstructured Questionnaire >Field Visit >Relate the Demand and Supply Elements > Team Presentation and Interaction

Student members > Identify investment objective > Market Analysis > Corpus of investment > Risk return analysis > Present the investment process

ACTIVITY-BASED LEARNING

The idea of activity-based learning is rooted in the common notion that Management Students are active learners rather than passive recipients of information. If a student is provided the opportunity to explore by their own and provided an optimum learning environment, then the learning becomes joyful and long-lasting.


In outbound programs, students are made to go through various outdoor activities where they will be required to face challenging situations as individuals and teams. This will help them to see the importance of communication, leadership, teamwork, planning, and delegation. Outbound training is one of the best platforms for personality development, confidence building, and team building. The Learning Program was fully activity based. The student underwent their actions in a free, fun-filled, pleasant, and safe environment.

The movie club of CIMAT aims to develop not only practical communication skills but also the overall personality of the students by providing opportunities to refine their soft skills. It focuses on developing logical thinking, creativity, innovative ideas, and decision-making skills and improving group dynamics and event management skills by organizing and conducting events.
