In keeping with the philosophy of student-centered learning, the teaching methodology at Rai Business School emphasizes the importance of learning through direct experience, which promotes the development of independent learning in key transferable areas. A combination of teacher-supervised and teacher-independent learning activities at the individual and group levels are integrated into the system of learning such that students are optimally involved in assessment of their own progress through faculty and peer feedback.

Students can pursue one optional subject every Semester, in addition to their main stream, as a step towards acquainting them with more than one discipline and developing a multi-disciplinary profile. Students can choose one optional subject in every Semester from Media, Bio-Technology, E&C, Hospitality, Fashion to get a working knowledge of these fields.

The course structure has been organized in a way that the student acquires an 'in depth knowledge' of the core subjects. The students are then offered opportunity to do research on the said subjects from other disciplines for being able to move into new areas of interest. This methodology enables students to acquire not only broad based knowledge but help them in evolving their career path at a later date, if considered necessary.

The Credit System at Rai Business School is based on the process of continuous evaluation of the student's performance. This means that students are not in the pressure situation of pass / fail on an annual exam basis. This flexibility allows the students to progress at their own pace, subject to the regulation of credit requirements. Each subject is assigned a certain number of credits depending upon the number of contact hours per week with respect to the number of lectures / tutorials and laboratory / practical / studio work hours

In the current system of education, where knowledge economy is taking a priority, the quality of education has to confirm to global standards.

The employers seek skills and competency besides the basic knowledge from their employees. They also expect their employees to be effective right from day one. Realizing that the teaching and learning methods employed by the faculty members have a profound impact on the progression of the students, we have introduced an intense teaching-learning methodology at RBS. The system develops a deep sense of learning in a relaxed environment and inculcates among the students a lasting learning desire. We expect that the teaching system would develop skills and competencies along with the values among the students.

Participation of students forms the backbone of the system of Continuous Evaluation. The students are expected to have gone through the pre-study material and come prepared for discussion. We visualize that the quantum and quality of learning through discussion would be much superior to simple delivery of the course material in the classroom. The process is intended to identify the following aspects in a student:

Commitment to learning Regularity to attend classes Desire to studiously go through the study material and research books, internet, etc. to gain significant knowledge Ability to present his point of view systematically/ logically Ability to take criticism Approach adopted to find solution to a given problem Communication Skills

Each student is expected to submit two assignments during a Semester. Different assignments are given to different syndicates.
All members of the syndicates are expected to discuss the problem and find solution to the same. Each member of the syndicate is expected to equally participate in solving the assignment.

All students of the syndicate are expected to submit the assignment individually. While they are expected to present common solution, they have the opportunity to express themselves as individuals and demonstrate their exceptional ability. They may recommend deletion/modification/addition to the syndicate solution.

Students may furnish additional data / information downloaded from the Internet and put up diverse views away from syndicate solution.

The evaluation system comprise the following elements with the weightages shown against each for the Postgraduate and Undergraduate schemes

Industry Oriented Project / Independent Study Project/ Group Discussion / Seminar / Quiz
In keeping with our policy, that each student is exposed to industry/ real life environment to enable each of them to acquire adequate practical skills and competency, the faculty members adopt a mixed approach of testing the students in the areas listed above. The faculty members make the students to do an 'Industry Oriented Project'. The teaching faculty ensures that each student is engaged in at least two activities during the semester. The students are evaluated for the following:

Statement of the problem/ issues (correctness/ quality). Research on existing practices, if any, and their critical analysis, highlighting their advantages and defects. Suggested Solutions: analysis, correctness, and practicability, use of technology and application of statistical tools. Presentation, clarity of concept, quality of presentation Slide/Power point presentation / OHP Film, ability to respond to queries, etc.

Practical training and industrial visit are an integral part of the academic program at RBS. The percentage of curriculum time is spread in such a way as to blend theoretical learning to practical appreciation of the subject. Every student is expected to make one industrial project every Semester in addition to an assignment. The last Semester of Postgraduate course is dedicated to industry interface with submission of Dissertation Report at the end of Semester.

It is expected that every student will register himself/herself for the foregoing practical training. Each student takes up a training at the end of every semester. The College authorities also organize Industry visits. Each student deputed on practical training is required to prepare a project report. The faculty member evaluates the same and the students are made to present the same. An unsatisfactory performance may debar the students from the award of the qualification.

The evaluation system comprise the following elements with the weightages shown against each for the Postgraduate and Undergraduate schemes:

Post Graduate

Under Graduate

Dual Specializations

In today's era, specialization plays an important role in elevating the future. At RBS, through industry interaction and through study of market conditions, we have formulated subjects that give students the dual advantage in specialized subjects, enhancing their prospects to greater heights. Students can choose any two major specializations from areas like Marketing, HRM, Finance, International Business, IT and Insurance.

Diploma in Foreign Language (French / German / Spanish)

With the world shrinking to a global village and the presence of several multinational companies in India, a foreign language is always an advantage which can reap higher scales for students. Students can take up an additional diploma in foreign language at no additional cost. This will also brighten up the prospects of a student to secure overseas placements.
