• Inclusive class rooms:
  The department strongly believes that the classroom is the basic learning platform. The faculty members take care of involvement of students as and when required in delivering lectures. The student’s views and perspectives are encouraged. Further, by considering the entire class and single unit, encourage collaborations of slow learners with bright students to ensure overall integrity.
• Multi Media learning process:
  The faculty of the department uses multimedia to modify the contents of the material to suit the requirements of students. It helps the teacher to represent the subject matter in a more meaningful way, using different media elements. By incorporating digital media elements in the learning process, the students are able to learn better, since they use multiple senses to understand the concept. In addition, this would also enhance their attention to the information presented.
• Case study based teaching:
  The students are given a case study related to a particular concept discussed in a course. Then the students are introduced to the case and given time to ponder over the case based on the learned concepts and its application in the scenario presented in the case. The students work on the case outside the class hours and present the analysis of the case to the class and their justification for the chosen alternative for the scenario. This will be debated in the class by opinions from other students. This exercise helps the students in building team playing ability; open to constructive criticism, ability to make decisions in uncertain and ambiguous situation.
• Field survey/study:
  The department encourages regular interaction with industry for the faculty and students. The faculty guides the students to pursue field study. The faculty and student together discusses about the objective to conduct the field study and the benefits for students through field study. Then the student identifies his preferred firms for conducting field study. Then the faculty guides him in contacting the industry personnel and helping in framing the questions to be pondered during the field study.
• Internship:
