To churn out the best quality humanware  that befits the industry, academia need to centrifuge with industry. Academia establishes theories, Industry propagates practices. To  ingrain  sound theory and   contemporary practices in the students , education  cannot be restricted to  the four walls of classroom. Either students go to the industry or the industry comes to the students. At Acropolis (North Campus) we practice both in the form of industrial visits and expert talk.

An expert talk was organized on ‘Practices in Project Management ’ for the MBA students by Prof Juhi Kamakoty,  under the aegis of Kaizen Club. The resource person for the event was Mr.  Rajeev Gupta , Project Consultant by profession;   Production engineer & Management graduate by education  and academician by vocation. Mr Gupta gave an overview of Project Management   practices followed by various organizations all around the world. . He  shared  various experiences he had  as a  project consultant and  the challenges and hurdles he faced in working as project manager.  He pitched the difference between theory and practices, reinstated the need to develop applicability skills for becoming good project managers. The guest speaker  emphasized that  theoretical clarity is a pre requisite to good  performance at  job. The session was interesting and engrossing. The expert talk eventually ended opening up new horizons for the students.
