What is the pedagogy style at IIM-A for 1st year students?
Hi,
Well to simply put it,
Case methodology is followed at IIMA. Students have to read cases, ready theory and analyse the cases before they go to classes. The analysis is discussed in the classroom and the faculty orchestrates this discussion which leads to learnings. Questions in exams vary as per the course and faculty. However, its bound to make you learn more. Quizzes are conducted like mini-exams. These are mostly surprise quizzes and you are expected to be prepared all the time. To stimulate the intellect and enhance intellectual capabilities the case method of learning is used. Application of theoretical knowledge to real-life problems is tested through this pedagogy. Cases are reviewed every year to reflect current managerial practices and trends.
Hope it helps.
