Best Practices

BMSIT&M instils the spirit of "Do it Yourself" amongst the students through Project Based Learning (PBL), an initiative encouraging students to gain experiential learning. Students (in groups of 3 - 4) carry out one project every semester in the area relevant to their courses and of their interest.

All the PBL projects will be thoroughly evaluated and shortlisted projects will be exhibited on OPEN DAY and evaluated by renowned industry executives, innovators, investors and academicians, once a semester. Cash prizes are awarded to the best projects judged by the evaluators every semester encouraging students to do better.

The institute has been striving hard to ensure that students are ready for either employment (self- or otherwise) or higher studies. As a part of this, Institute offers more than 20 open courses (duration of 25 hours each) at the beginning of every semester in the areas that are demanded by the Industry and beyond the University curriculum. A student from any branch and any semester can enroll to any of the courses offered by any of the departments. Every year, more than 1300 students are benefited from these courses.
