Why Experiential Learning is the Future of Management Education

• March 24, 2025 / admin

Introduction: In the ever-evolving world of business, students need more than just textbook knowledge to succeed—they need real-world skills, exposure, and the ability to think on their feet. This is where experiential learning becomes the game-changer in management education.

At JK Business School (JKBS), Gurugram, experiential learning is not just an approach—it’s a way of life. Through live projects, factory visits, internships, and corporate mentoring, JKBS ensures students are industry-ready from day one.

What is Experiential Learning?

Experiential learning is the process of learning by doing. It allows students to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-life situations, enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.

At JKBS, this learning method is deeply embedded into the PGDM and BBA curriculum, helping students build practical business acumen and leadership skills.

Experiential Learning at JK Business School: Key Highlights

1. Factory Visits & Industry Tours: Students regularly visit leading factories and industrial plants to understand operations, logistics, and management in real-time.

3. Live Projects & Internships: After the first year, students take part in mandatory summer internships where they apply their classroom learning in actual corporate environments, guided by both faculty and industry mentors.
