This is part of our MBA programme where student teams work as consultants for real-time projects in and around Mangalore. The student teams work in groups as they have more inputs to provide.

The real-time project helps students arm themselves with varied skills to enter the corporate world. This also enables them to understand the reality of working in teams in the corporate field, and also take responsibility for their decisions.
