Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge obtained in the classroom and real-time industrial scenarios is a major problem faced by institutions across the world. Today, students and budding professionals pursuing higher education are expected to step into the corporate world as Day Zero Professionals. Organizations are on the constant lookout for individuals equipped with the skills and knowledge to apply their classroom learnings in real-life scenarios and tackle problems with a solution-driven mindset.
Intending to provide a solution to bridge this gap and go that extra mile to help their students succeed as confident professionals, Lexicon MILE has introduced the ‘CAPSTONE’ Industrial Dynamic project. CAPSTONE projects involve students taking charge of identifying challenges and areas of improvement in industrial settings and curating sustainable solutions for them. With this project as part of their coursework, the students classify their tasks into phases evolving from an academic aspect to a corporate one. This methodology aids students by encouraging networking and acquiring skills such as enhanced problem identification, data analysis, designing effective strategies and innovative solutions, along with boosting their confidence and self-belief having implemented their solutions in the business or organization to resolve challenges.

This helps students understand the industrial dynamics better and design relevant efficient solutions creating a win-win situation for the institution and the organization. It greatly assist students in creating value and results in them becoming a precious asset for their organization.” says Dr. Jitender Kumar Sharma, Director, Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership & Excellence.
