In keeping with the philosophy of student-centered learning, the teaching methodology at IIKMT emphasizes the importance of learning through direct experience, which promotes the development of independent learning and key transferable areas. A combination of teacher-supervised and teacher-independent learning activities at the individual and group levels are integrated into the system of learning such that students are optimally involved in assessment of their own progress through faculty and peer feedback.
In the current system of education, where knowledge economy is taking a priority, the quality of education has to conform to global standards. The employers seek skills and competency besides the basic knowledge from their employees. They also expect their employees to be effective right from day one. Realizing that the teaching and learning methods employed by the faculty members have a profound impact on the progression of the students, we have introduced an intense teaching-learning methodology in IIKMT. We expect that the system would develop a deep sense of learning in a relaxed environment and inculcate among the students a lasting learning desire. We also expect that the teaching system would develop skills and competencies along with the values among the students.
Mentoring is another tool used by IIKM™ to nurture and grow its students. The mentor's job is to promote intentional learning, which includes capacity building through methods such as instructing, coaching, profiling experiences, modeling and advising. Important benefit of this approach is that students are equipped for their life long career progression.
In order to have better understanding of management, a number of industry visits are organized for students in consultation with mentor/ faculty. Students identify the companies as per the course need and submit their report and make presentations.
•Further, a student is expected to maintain a organizer, which is an attempt to cultivate the habit of documentation, to develop own thought process, and reasoning abilities.
Seminars are organized by students on a regular basis. Such seminars help students to interact with renowned personalities in different fields, learn from their experiences and imbibe all the inspiration required by them to move ahead in their professional life.
Workshops on various Management skills will help our students to learn how to lead, coach and be an integral part of their work team. Strategic tools for improving team effectiveness are learned and practiced in this hands-on workshop. This particular effort provides the students and the corporate to get an opportunity to enhance their skills. Taking a step further to give an exhaustive coverage to the programmes, the students have initiated workshop on specific subjects/issues which may not be covered in their regular curriculum.
Special English language training will be provided for all the students of IIKM™ for effective communication and writing skills. English speaking is mandatory in the IIKM campuses as a part of language development.
All IIKM™ students have to undergo compulsory Soft Skill Development module on soft skills as Grooming, Etiquettes, Leadership attributes, Effective communication, Resume writing, Interview handling etc. The focus is on enabling students to develop an independent and reflective style of personality that will help them in their careers and their lives.
Public Speaking is another effective tool in the teaching methodologies adopted at IIKM. The motive is to prepare the students to be able to speak among a wide audience. This practice instills confidence to communicate effectively for various purposes like motivation, influence, persuasion, or entertaining. Thus the students develop confidence to face the audience.
The minimum attendance requirement for all individual subjects is 80 percentages. Students having less than the prescribed attendance will not be allowed to appear for the University examinations.
It is a mass event that helps students to uncover their extra capacity in areas beyond Programs. By participating in debates, quizzes on management and other cultural activities students contribute to their own excitement and add to their own learning.
Finally, it is the annual convocation that holds the majestic pride of an Institute. It is the grand finale of all the hard work put in by each student and the most promising professionals win laurels in the form of awards.
