"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." –Benjamin Franklin; this is exactly what I experienced at Praxis.
The phenomenal faculty and the well designed curriculum helped me structure my thought process. I obtained valuable insights from industry veterans, and prepared myself for the corporate world with the learning derived from the classes, informal interactions with faculty and from my peers in the corridors of our wonderful hostel. Grateful to My alma mater for what I am today!
