Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
At EDII, experiential learning is emphasized through Summer Internships, Projects, Business Simulations, Industry Interactions, and Independent Study, enabling students to apply classroom learning in real-world business environments.
During the first year, students are trained in core functional areas such as Business, Marketing, Finance, Consulting, Economics, OB, HRM, Operations, and IT. This prepares them for professional work culture and industry expectations.
At the end of the first year, students undertake 8–10 weeks of Summer Internship, preferably with SMEs, where they engage in real-time business responsibilities and apply management theories learned in classrooms.
Internship formats include:Students prepare a Bankable Detailed Project Report (DPR) or Five-Year Prospective Plan (FYPP) based on market research, financial analysis, risk assessment, technology evaluation, and growth strategy.
Projects are evaluated by panels comprising faculty, industry experts, and bankers, followed by a presentation and viva-voce. DPRs/FYPPs may be submitted to leading banks for funding support.
EDII promotes student-directed learning through independent research projects under faculty mentorship. Business simulations like MikesBikes and Sim Venture are used to enhance strategic thinking, financial analysis, leadership, and teamwork.
Eminent entrepreneurs, industry leaders, policy makers, and academicians regularly interact with students. Industry visits are organized every trimester to expose students to real operational environments across manufacturing, services, logistics, FMCG, ports, and start-up ecosystems.
EDII provides financial assistance to deserving students for initiating viable and impactful ventures. Preference is given to women students and first-generation entrepreneurs.
Applicants are required to submit proposals and present before a designated committee for evaluation.
IDBI Bank considers financing up to ₹1 crore without collateral under CGTMSE for viable projects undertaken by EDII students.
EDII faculty adopt innovative, participative, and experiential pedagogies including case studies, simulations, workshops, live projects, presentations, and industry interactions.
Faculty members bring rich academic and industry experience to ensure students gain practical insight, strategic thinking, and decision-making capabilities across all trimesters.
