Being at Chennai since 2004, Rai Business School practices innovative Teaching and Evaluation techniques to ensure that all students get equal attention and a fair deal during their tenure.

A. Pedagogy - the Teaching Strategy

TL = CRL + ABL + RBL

This is the simple and realistic Pedagogique equation practiced at Rai Business School Chennai

The Total Learning TL of a Management student is the sum of Class Room Learning CRL, Activity Based Learning ABL and Research Based Learning RBL. All three components are equally important and they bind each other forming complete learning of the Management Aspirant

1. Class Room Learning - CRL

We Indians value our "Guru - Shishya" relation a lot and too nostalgic about it being practiced from childhood. The Mentor plays an important role to a Management Student not only on attending classes but to share views, discuss issues, solve personal problems and being a good friend too in deed. Rai Business School provides the best Teachers - both Permanent Faculty members and Visiting Faculty to ensure smooth Class Room Based training making our students successful in academic levels and clear their examinations with flying colors.

2. Activity Based Learning - ABL

Events, events and events……. Rai Business School emphasizes both indoor and outdoor events. There are events fully sponsored and managed by the School and some other events sponsored by the School but fully managed by students. Students undergo minimum one major event and some smaller events in each semester which will enhance their team spirits, leadership capabilities, attitude, spot decision capability and social responsibilities. There are as many inbound and outbound programs apart from Industrial Visits and Domestic / International study tours.

3. Research Based Learning - RBL

Assignments, Case Studies and Industrial Projects control the nerve system of Management Education. Research activities are inculcated throughout to activate Truth Hunting, Self Support, Time Management, Creativity and Innovation. All components in RBL are so crucial and we ensure that the students go through it successfully and will emerge as a complete management professional at the end of their tenure. Research Based Learning also improves communication skills, confidence and interpersonal skills as they meet many professionals and public during the activity. It also makes the students "realize the reality" while engaged with hands on experiments in the field.

B. Evaluation Techniques

Although learning is said to take place in a stress-free environment, proper evaluation always makes learning meaningful.

The pedagogic exercise would define the objectives of a model and what the recipient should achieve after undergoing that model. The evaluation would conclude how he/she would enhance the skills which would result in a better job- behavior.

By doing this case study, the students would be able to:

1. Understand and state the problems.

2. Put down the reasons for the problems.

3. Say how the problems could have been avoided.

4. State the person(s) responsible for the creation of problems.

5. State how the issue could be solved with minimum or no damages

6. Say how such issues could be averted.

7. Enhance problem solving techniques and crisis management at work.

8. Develop team building, inter-personal skills, communication and presentation skills.

All students may not fall in same category in the learning process. There are (A) Fast learners, (B) Slow learners and (C) Hard learners

Students of each category will be asked to state the learning on the above eight parameters through verbal and written tests. Similar exercise will be conducted for assignments, events etc.

These scores are properly documented and evaluated by the faculty in the presence of the Academic Head. The additional help or supporting arm required for B (slow learners) and C (hard learners) would be taken up seriously to ensure that all students have their equal opportunity to learn, perform and get placed in their dream places.
