Industry visits are mandatory for a BBA student, during which students visit companies and get insight regarding the internal working environment of a company and how a company functions, as well as useful information related to the practical aspects of the educational course which cannot be visualized in lectures.
The industrial visit is considered one of the most tactical methods of teaching. It provides students with an opportunity to learn practically through interaction, working methods and employment practices. Moreover, it gives exposure from an academic point of view. Industry visits are arranged for the students to well-known and renowned companies which enable them to get the practical exposure and bridge the gap between theory and practical knowledge.
Before every Industry Visit, a homework session is organized for the students, wherein they are told about the company, products etc. They are also told to refer the website of the company. Every Industry visit has a focus area which is communicated to the company; the company gives presentation on that particular focus area to our students and then the visit becomes more meaningful.

As my time at MITSOM COLLEGE comes to a close I have the opportunity to reflect on my experience as a student. The education that I have received has left a lasting impression which I will carry throughout my career in the business world. Our college takes the term interactive classroom to another level by providing us with opportunities for various industrial visits, live projects as well as develops our research aptitudes by allowing us to work on monographs, research papers, Power point presentations, as well as learning how to work within a group and communicate effectively are daily components essential to all classes. The professors that I have had the privilege to receive guidance and advice have real life experiences that complement their teaching methods and help do justice to the course material. Each professor's genuine compassion for the student's progression allows one to excel in a small environment and become a name rather than a number." The professors of MITSOM College have always instilled in us a perspective-BUILD YOURSELF LIKE A BRAND".

The extremely supportive and friendly faculty is always there to guide you, evaluate you and point out where you can improve and always appreciate your efforts! The part that I like the most is that here, teachers actually spend their time and energy happily in making you a better person.
