Orientation Program: Diksharambh at Sri Balaji University, Pune

At Sri Balaji University, Pune, every academic journey begins with our comprehensive induction program, Diksharambh, which lays a strong foundation for our students. The program introduces students to the history of Sri Balaji Society, the core values of Sri Balaji University Pune, and the vision and mission that drive our educational philosophy. During the induction, students are also given an overview of the Program Outcomes (POs) and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs), helping them understand the knowledge and skills they will gain upon completion of their program. Additionally, we present the Graduate Attributes expected from every student, ensuring they are equipped for both academic and professional success. To bridge the gap between academic learning and industry expectations, the induction program features interactions with industry stalwarts, providing valuable insights into the skills and competencies required in the real world. Following the formal induction, we host an extensive Learning from Corporate Session Series lasting one month, where an industry expert addresses students every day, fostering continuous learning and engagement.

Pedagogy: A Structured Approach to Excellence

At Sri Balaji University, we focus on delivering a well-structured and outcome-driven pedagogy that ensures effective learning across all courses. Each subject is meticulously designed, with clear Course Outcomes (COs) based on Bloom’s Taxonomy—a framework that classifies learning objectives into six levels: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Creating, and Evaluating. Faculty members tailor their sessions to help students develop the necessary skills at each of these levels, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

The evaluation process at the university is comprehensive and closely aligned with the course outcomes, ensuring that both concurrent assessments and term examinations reflect the learning objectives specified in the course syllabus. Every assessment, whether it is a class activity or a formal exam, is mapped to the relevant course outcomes, ensuring consistency and clarity in evaluation.

Key Initiatives for Effective Teaching-Learning
To enhance the teaching-learning experience, the university has implemented several initiatives:

  • Session Plans:
    Before the academic sessions begin, students receive a detailed session plan outlining the program structure, session-wise content, pre-reading, post-reading materials, and assignments. This allows students to prepare effectively for each class, ensuring a more engaging and productive learning experience.
  • Harvard Business Review (HBR) Case Studies:
    As part of our pedagogical approach, we incorporate HBR case studies into various courses. These case studies—both long and short—are designed to help students tackle real-world business challenges. Our faculty, trained by professors from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), are equipped to guide students through these case studies, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Coursera & EdX Courses
    Sri Balaji University provides access to a wide range of Coursera and EdX modules, aligned with course content. These online courses serve as an internal component of the program, offering students the opportunity to earn additional certificates and gain relevant knowledge and skills recognized globally.
  • Cesium Simulation:
    To provide a hands-on learning experience, we have introduced Cesium Simulation for various courses. Our faculty members, trained in simulation-based teaching methods, guide students through case studies, helping them understand complex business dynamics and decision-making processes in a controlled, simulated environment.
  • Research Paper Writing
    At Sri Balaji University, we integrate Research Paper Writing into the academic journey starting from the second semester. Students are required to choose a specific topic and submit their research paper by the third semester. In the second semester, students begin the groundwork on their chosen topic and are assigned a faculty guide for expert advice on research methods and paper writing. The aim is to equip students with the necessary skills to conduct independent research and present their findings effectively. At the end of this process, students are expected to present their research at conferences or submit their papers for publication in recognized research journals.
  • Company Project Study (CPS)
    After completing the second semester, students embark on a Company Project Study (CPS), a compulsory component of the curriculum. This involves a two-month live project with an industry partner, where students select a relevant topic and conduct in-depth research within a real-world corporate environment. Throughout this period, students engage with industry professionals to gain insights and apply their academic learning to practical scenarios. At the end of the project, students submit a detailed report to the university and undergo a Viva presentation, where their findings and insights are evaluated. The CPS provides invaluable industry exposure and serves as a bridge between academic learning and practical application.
  • Case Study Writing
    In the fourth semester, students are required to write a Case Study on an organization or business unit. For this task, a faculty guide is assigned to each student to provide guidance on structuring the case study and conducting thorough research. The case study is meant to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills by exploring real business challenges. Upon completion, students submit their case study report, which is then evaluated through a One-on-One Viva. The evaluation focuses on various aspects such as the depth of research, analytical skills, and the ability to present solutions to organizational issues. This activity is an essential part of the program, designed to enhance students' practical understanding of business dynamics.

Industry-Centric Learning Opportunities

Alongside the core curriculum, Sri Balaji University focuses on providing students with skills that align with industry needs through several initiatives:

  • Value-Added Courses (VACs):
    In collaboration with industry experts, we offer Value-Added Courses that complement the regular academic curriculum. These courses are designed to build specialized knowledge and enhance students' skill sets, helping them stay ahead in the competitive job market.
  • Outbound Activities:
    We organize outbound activities that foster team building, leadership, and interpersonal skills. These activities encourage students to step out of their comfort zones, build confidence, and develop a holistic set of skills required for personal and professional growth.

By combining traditional academic learning with industry-oriented activities, simulations, and case studies, Sri Balaji University ensures that students are well-prepared to excel in their careers. Our approach to pedagogy and continuous industry engagement ensures that students receive a rich, comprehensive educational experience, equipping them with the tools to thrive in a dynamic world.

All 3 Credit and some 2 Credit courses will have 50% internal component and 50% component as external [University] examination. All 1 and 6 Credit and some 2 credit Course will have Internal component for evaluation.

STANDARD OF PASSING

The total weightage (100%) for some subject is equally divided (50/50) between Internals and End Term Examinations and some subjects are totally evaluated by internal component. Students are expected to obtain a minimum of 40% of marks in the internals and the End Term Examinations individually to be considered as pass in the particular subject. Sri Balaji University, Pune follows grading system for awarding grade and grade points to students. It follows 10 point grade scale, SCPA and CGPA are calculated as the weighted average of grade point multiplied by the credits for the courses. The system of evaluation will be as follows: For each course, the score of internal assessment and the End term examinations will be added together and then converted into a grade and grade point average. A student shall be said to have earned the credits for the course if he/she earns minimum of 40% marks in internals and End term examinations separately. Grade point less than 4.00 will be treated as grade F (fail). Results will be declared for each semester and the final grade–sheet will give total grades and grade point
