LEAD: Shaping industry-ready leaders through experience

LEAD College of Management emphasizes experiential learning. How is this approach applied in its MBA and MCA programmes?

- 

At LEAD College of Management, experiential learning is central to the student journey. By combining internships, live projects, and operational leadership training (LOT), students graduate with practical skills, not just theoretical knowledge.

The Entrepreneurial MBA is particularly impactful—students aiming to launch their own ventures receive infrastructure, mentorship, and hands-on execution from day one. Outbound programmes, life-skills training, and LOT management expose students to nonacademic challenges, fostering leadership, decision-making, resilience, and collaboration. For MCA students, working on live projects in cloud computing, Al, and data science ensures their technical skills remain cutting-edge, providing a strong advantage in the tech industry. The ABCDE model at LEAD—emphasising activity, collaboration, direction, and real-world experience—ensures that learning extends beyond lectures, producing well-rounded and industry-ready graduates.

With Al and data analytics transforming the business landscape, what do you consider the most significant emerging trend in management education today, and how is LEAD integrating this trend into its core curriculum?
