Every month, a group of 25 students from different disciplines get to interact with their assigned mentor to discuss the projects they are working on and the new initiatives to be adopted to make learning interactive. This is a regular practice at Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies (MRIIRS) where students are taught the three Cs—create, collaborate and communicate. With courses such as engineering and technology, commerce and business studies, law, liberal arts, hotel management, architecture and design and applied sciences to name a few, the curriculum for all undergraduate courses is
designed to give students in-depth knowledge of the subject. Nestled in the Aravallis Hills on Delhi-Surajkund Road, the 42-acre green campus has collaborated with key industry players to offer students best learning facilities. With academic and knowledge partners such as KPMG, Su-Kam, Daikin, Infosys, ICICI and Intel, the university’s Mitsubishi-Robotics Lab is where engineering students work on their projects and prototypes. Dipali Bansal, Associate Dean (Academics), MRIIRS, says, “We combine the old school of thought and the new technology modules to teach our students. The companies these days look for soft skills in candidates and we focus on attitude building; holistic wellness, life skills, and personality development are part of the curriculum.” There is a culture of innovation, start-ups and entrepreneurship and 15 start-up projects by students have been financially and technically supported with the seed money.
