Outward
All activity at JKITM
is oriented towards creating opportunities for students to
discover, explore and learn - not just within the confines
of their curriculum - but extending outside the boundaries
of the classroom and academics. Students are encouraged to
expand their horizons, enrich their thinking and grow outward.
At the same time, JKITM firmly believes that rigorous academics is the backbone of all education and students at JKITM go through a rigorous curriculum that packs in a total of 50 hours per week that includes 20 hours of classroom teaching, 8 hours of labs, 15 hours of project work, and 2 hours of industry exposure + 3 hrs Social Work.
Academic
Orientation
A strong
academic orientation lays the foundation for life-long learning,
ingraining in the youth the psyche of the eternal student.
The orientation program enables the students to familiarise
themselves with the teaching methodology and aids used in
the classroom, use of in-campus facilities and services,
library and lab use and other services. The programmes also
focus on academic and personal counseling, equipping students
with necessary study skills required for academic setting,
enabling students to adjust to the JKITM's
teaching model. Special foundation programmes are offered
to foreign students who may be visiting India for the first
time. These programmes are designed to help them understand
Indian culture, society and values so that they can adapt
themselves to the local conditions without problems.
We believe that it
is vital for a student to have a strong focus on the subjects
of study at any given time. In order to facilitate this
the curriculum is designed with a modular structure. This
also makes it possible for students to opt for electives
that supplement their areas of interest and skill.
Project
Work and Presentation
Project Work and presentations
expose students to real-world situations which require
students to take the initiative, research facts, work
on time bound programmes and develop communication and
presentation skills which play an important role in shaping
the future of the students.
Intensive
Interaction with Industry
In today’s highly
competitive world, it is a must for students to have exposure
to the outside world, preparing them for the challenges
that they will face in their field. At all levels, students
levels are exposed to the industry through lectures, seminars,
study tours, industrial visits, etc.
Eminent personalities
from different industries and walks of life are invited
to visit the campus and share their experiences and give
students a global outlook through interactive programmes.
Students are given
the opportunity to work on live projects through tie-ups
with organisations across a spread of industries. A walkthrough
these systems, approaches and business strategies gives
students a feel of the real world, preparing them to be
contributors to the industry from day one.
Another unique feature
of the JKITM Programme is the Professional
Development module which runs parallel to the main programme.
Participants are engaged in a guided process of :
• Self Assessment
• Reflection
• Identification of a personal growth plan
Based on current organisational needs, seminars and
workshops are organised on various topics such as
emotional intelligence, media relations, managing
relationships with Board of Directors, as well as
working with Fortune 500 companies. Participants also
lead informal sessions based on their own experiences
in a range of “Current” discussions.
The programme also brings a number of guest speakers
to the programme, including top corporate executives
as well as Government Officials.
The strength of
JKITM’s model lies in bringing its ability to deliver study programmes that understand the need of students in the Indian context while at the same time keeping a global relevance.
Apart from the rigour of classroom academics, JKITM’s model integrates a spectrum of additional components that include Training Programs, Exchange Programs, Industrial Visits, Study trips Expert lectures, Seminars, Hands-on training in industries, Specific-skills training, Project guidance etc.
Tapping into the years of experience and accumulated knowledge base, the leadership of JKITM has evolved a model that has a character of its own and is designed to add an extra dimension to the students’s personality and give them the competitive edge.
