Teaching Pedagogy

Initially adopted by business schools in the US, case study learning has now become an integral element of teaching and learning pedagogy in all the major fields of study at top institutes in India.

In this method, students are asked to analyze a specific situation or challenge by business and industry called a "case".

At the KCC Institute of Technology and Management, the case study method is used extensively at both the management and engineering schools to expose students to strategies deployed to arrive at solutions using a problem-solving approach. Students are asked to make live presentations using the case study method which is followed by an in-depth discussion of the case.

The game sessions also make the student more pro-active and an indulgent team player. Intellectual sports such as role playing, creative mind games and extempore presentations help students to further refine their analytical, decision-making, team building and participation skills.

They also help with building self-confidence and self-esteem. AT the KCC Institute of Technology and Management, these activities are conducted regularly.

While many events are routinely organized by departments as a part of instruction delivery, students also organize these events during informal group meetings, competitions and the annual KCC Student Festival. Students take part in these events with great enthusiasm and gain a lot from them in a variety of ways.

At KCC, student involvement in group discussions (GDs) is not restricted to the placement season.

They are frequently conducted in small groups under the guidance of faculty members to teach students how to communicate a perspective or a point of view in front of an informed audience.

This way, any learning gaps are identified well ahead of the placement season when companies formally arrive on campus to recruit students for full-time positions. Many of the leading organizations that visit the KCC campus each year conduct group discussions as a part of their student evaluation and assessment endeavors.

The purpose of the visits is to help the students make connections between academics and real-world situations. The KCC student mandate includes practical and hands-on exposure to business and industry.

Throughout the academic period, both the undergraduate and postgraduate students at the KCC Institute of Technology and Management, frequently take part in industry visits. Department heads carefully select these locations, which are typically well-suited for day visits, to give the endeavor purpose and substance.

While engineering students tour manufacturing and research facilities, management students explore prominent multinational corporations to gain practical insights into the operations of big enterprises. When students graduate and are prepared to enter the ranks of their various professions, industry visits open doors for internships and potential jobs.
