The learning methodology seeks to trigger and augment the learning process. This is done through LEARNING AIDS

consist of learning nuggets which serve different purposes in the Virtuous Learning Cycle. They are learner friendly, and
application oriented with each learning nugget simplifying the learning thereby making the Self Learning Material much
more effective. They address the needs of various kinds of learners at various stages from introduction; the motivation
to illustration to research insights to summarizing. This enhances the overall learning process.
Learning Aids:
1) PEP Notes: These Practice, Experience, Perspective Notes provide research based insights from Industry culled from
industry researchers allowing students to appreciate developments in the forefront of industry.
2) Bullet Notes: Introduces important concepts in each unit / lesson in visually appealing and easily comprehensible
figures. These are ready reference material for students preparing for examinations and placement interviews.
