It was to create a world class learning environment, which prepares young managers to cope up with
ever increasing challenges of competitive world, which develops their versatility to adapt seamlessly
in a multi cultural global environment, which trains them to be equally comfortable in a state-of-
the-art as well as rustic environment, which nurtures their leadership traits to shoulder increasing
responsibilities, which encourages them to analyse every difficult situation objectively, and which
imbibes in them to keep their core values and ethics intact in all situations.
We have great sense of satisfaction in what has been accomplished till now, when we see industry

Principles
The assessment of the course is governed by a number of principles:

though it may be changed from time to time and from course to course;
Each course work incorporates periodic tests, which will be part of the written unit and therefore,
prescribed at its commencement; each unit will also include deadlines for the presentation of
the course work;
The Independent Study must be in an area that is relevant to the named Award.

11. Assessment Weightage

Sr. No. Break-up of Weightage Description
Evaluation Criteria
1. Attendance 10% * Total classes attended shall add upto 10% marks
2. Presentation/Case Study 10% Subject specific at the discretion of the faculty

9
12. Relevance of Academic Information and Grading Policy
A student’s final course grade will be determined by consideration of the following factors:
1. Attendance: 75% attendance is compulsory for all classes. This facilitates interaction with
the instructor and fellow students as highest level of learning is achieved by this method.
Students who do not have the requisite 75% attendance in each paper are barred from the
final examination of that unit.
2. Reading: Every student is expected to have thoroughly read and reviewed all reading
assignments from the required text or other reference material.
3. Discussion: Students must participate in regular classroom discussions as concepts are cleared
and fresh perspectives are formed.
4. Testing and Writing Projects: Students will complete online tests for online courses and case
studies for offline courses.
5. Assignments: Students complete group and individual assignments for the course. Group
projects inculiate team spirit.
6. Seminars: Students are expected to attend maximum number of seminars by guest faculty,
weekly quizzes, as well as seminars conducted outside where Skyline students are sent.
Attendance in external seminars attracts bonus points. All of these methods help students in
maximising their learning, particularly as they are able to see direct linkages between theory
and practice.
10
13. Skill Enhancement
Many students generally display limited skill sets. It has been Skyline’s endeavour to maximise
each student’s professional & social skills and prepare them for responsible positions at the place
of work. Management games bring out those areas which need most attention, among them being
communication (written, verbal and body language), personal presentations, ability to work in
teams, leadership & qualities of tolerance. HR experts also give training by identifying attitudes
as well as personal goals and drivers. In each semester special emphasis is also laid on corporate
requirements and ability to understand each incumbency, face competition and sustain positions,
as well as the ability to stay updated in the changing environment and stay ahead in knowledge
of the relevant work area.
Mock interviews and group discussions are held / conducted to test whether the students have
been able to develop the skills they initially lacked. Students are also encouraged to participate in
inter college events on areas of professional competence like business quizzes, paper presentations,
business plans and advertising events.
The summer training performance appraisal indicates the personal growth and development after
one year. Student are engaged with leading corporates for live projects.
11
14. Academic & Cultural Committees and Groups
Students take part in organising several academic and non academic activities and can opt for or be
nominated to any of the following committees:
Placement Committee;
Trade Expos and promotional activities Committee;
Sports Committee;
Newsletter and Webpage Committee;
Seminar and Business Quiz Committee;
Excursions and Outstation trips Committee;
Industry Seminar Committee;
Cultural and Event Management Committee;
Student Affairs Committee.
Trips and Excursions
To provide relief from the strenuous course requirements students are encouraged to go on trips
and excursions organised jointly by the students and the Institute. These trips also help in creating
closer bonds between students and faculty and between peer groups.
Apart from cultivating organisational capabilities in students, these activities provide a practical
educational experience and develop other soft skills such as sporting spirit, discipline, behavioural
norms and group dynamics. In the past students have been to:
