With the shift to autonomy, the faculty has moved away from a purely theory-based approach to a more application-oriented pedagogy:
Case Study Method: Following the pattern of top B-schools, faculty members often use real-world business cases to explain accounting standards and management principles.
Industry Integration: The faculty includes "Professors of Practice"—industry veterans who bring current market insights into the classroom, particularly for courses like B.S. in Fintech and International Finance.
ICT-Enabled Learning: All lecture halls are equipped with audio-visual facilities. Faculty use these to integrate digital resources, financial simulations, and online data sets into their teaching.
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE): Under the autonomous framework, teachers use a mix of presentations, group discussions, and mid-semester projects to assess students, reducing the reliance on a single final exam.
