THE UNIQUE CASE METHOD TRAINING
The JIMMC advantage lies in its unique teaching methodology the Case Method wherein the Classroom is transformed into a virtual professional experience that exposes the students to much more than the monologue of a teacher.
This highly interactive method revolves around solving real issues and challenges based on relevant industry cases. Through this, the student is prepared to grapple with the same kind of dilemmas, situations and decisions that a professional confronts on a day-to-day basis. Every day, a newspaper or a TV newscast or an advertising or PR issue is picked up as a 'case1 and analyzed threadbare. Then the students are expected to follow the issue and come up with ideas and solutions like a professional. Finally, the results are evaluated for their merits on the basis of the best professional standards and practices.
JIMMC's goal is to prepare students not only for entry-level jobs but also mold them into strategic thinkers capable of taking on the real professional world and emerge as winners.
