The initiative, called Working with AI (WAI), aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical, technology-driven business challenges, positioning the institute at the forefront of pedagogical innovation. Over the past academic cycle, the institution has systematically revamped its entire course structure, placing real-world business problem-solving at the centre of every curriculum component.
