GROUP LEARNING

Group Learning is an innovative approach to give self learning an added impetus, and forms a prominent constituent of the pedagogic approach. This learning method is based on the assumption that peer group learning is very effective. Self-learning is essential for an individual success. But an individual benefits immensely from the diverse ideas offered by others. Learning from others and appreciating different opinions are essential ingredients in the creation of a successful manager. They prepare prospective managers to be proactive in seeking and acquiring knowledge, rather than having it 'imparted' in the classroom. Group discussions and presentations have the added benefit of enhancing communication skills.

BUSINESS INTERFACE

To bring the students up-to-date on current practices and changing trends in different disciplines of management, MSNIMT organizes regular interface with business stalwarts and eminent management professionals.

Industry visits, internship projects and summer training form part of this programme, supplemented by lectures workshops, seminars and one-to-one interactive sessions. Soft skill development and personality development programmes and intellectually stimulating exercises form an essential part of our grooming process. Company project studies are integral to our curriculum.
They expose the students to all shades of corporate behaviour and activities before they actually step into the profession.

Problems are gateways to opportunities. Through in-depth training and comprehensive grooming programmes, students become thorough professionals equipped to perform in the most complex of situations.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

Development of the overall personality of each student is an essential part of our training process. We offer the students a series of programmes tailored to enhance their skills in communication, public speaking and inter-personal relationships. Our self-awareness programmes as well as counseling sessions help them identify areas that require improvement. We strive to increase their power of concentration and self control through yoga and meditation. Besides making the students methodical and multi-skilled, these programmes develop in them the priceless traits of positive thinking, self-confidence, level playing and rigid discipline.
