Rethinking the model of education from the ground up, has meant infusing fresh perspectives and thinking from some of the best minds in academia. “Our intention is to bring a blend of Indian and western perspectives and methods of teaching to add intellectual diversity in the classroom. With a stellar line-up of renowned professors from top-ranked global and Indian institutions this will now truly be possible,” says Prof. Shalini Urs, MYRA mentor.
The MYRA pedagogy based on an experiential learning model, allows for deeper understanding of subject matter. (Listen to Dr. Matthew Barney, Director, Infosys Leadership Institute talk about experiential learning at the MYRA Round Table). The programme pedagogy is created to provide a dynamic learning experience. “The curriculum is designed with a focus on live case studies, practicums that bring real-world challenges into the classroom, and internship opportunities that ensure students are industry-ready when they graduate,” states Prof. Rajiv K. Sinha.
