Understanding, formulating and writing the research hypothesis giving rationale justification and forming the coherent connections within the topic will be the main aim | 1. To equip the students to build their concepts by deciphering the information, experiments, filed studies through research papers.
2. Helping them to understand the arguments/discussion and form connections related to topics. |
||
Studio | Studio | Where students are confronted by life like situations and asked to define the problems and how to resolve it by solving them. This is facilitated by the faculty who will be providing them with necessary concepts and theories. | 1. Encouraging the individual by inculcating the process of active learning and responsibilities.
