The curriculum and pedagogy in any institute
defines its modus operandi. It is the methodology that is used by
the institute, finalised after a series of evolutionary modifications.
In short it represents the institute’s response to the evolving
and dynamic environment.
IIFT follows a pedagogy that has a healthy blend of both theoretical
aspects as well as practical nuances. The classroom environment is
designed to impart the theoretical knowledge reinforced through the
case study approach. The take home assignments require the students
to work on the concepts taught in the classroom coupled with the research
work carried out by them so as to imbibe the idea into their very
ethos.
The rigorous and hectic life in itself gives one an experience that
is unmatched. Besides, the students are required to undertake projects
that require close interaction with the industry. This makes the student
aware of the industry approach to the applications that the students
have so far only “studied”. The opportunity to dirty the
hands in the real world gives the student an edge and the competitive
advantage he requires in order to survive and thrive in the tough
world outside.
The above method of teaching has evolved over time. The commitment
of the faculty to upgrade the curricula to meet the requirements of
the industry is unmatched. In short, an IIFTian is never behind as
far as the requirements of the industry goes. The motto in IIFT is,
‘the footprints in the sands of time were not made by those
who stood still’, and the pedagogy aptly reflects this prevalent
paradigm. |
