Building entrepreneurial skills amongst students so that they can be job creators rather than job seekers is another objective of the institute. The teaching pedagogy employed at KIAMS also makes the institute stand out to a great extent. While students get the best through classroom learning from some of the biggest names in academia and industry, they are encouraged to think out of the box through case studies, role playing, quizzes and a lot more. Students also gain much-needed exposure to the real corporate world through industry-interaction sessions and seminars that are often hosted by the institute.
Another highlight of the program is that it allows elective choices to students in their second year so that they can customise the course to their personal requirements. Thus students interested in different management fields can gain hands-on experience and boost their future career prospects. This sort of flexibility makes the institute an exciting place of learning for students.
They also tend to enjoy the opportunity of learning at the lush and sprawling campuses of the institute which add to the complete educational experience students get.
