To enhance student’s employability chances, IPER conducts BEAT (Behavioral Enhancement and Training) session for their PGDM students. BEAT sessions are designed to help the students to enhance their soft skills and personal effectiveness. In this students are made to participate in various activities which work as a platform for them to communicate in front of everybody and boost their self-confidence. Besides English language skills the students also learn, presentation skills, listening skills, Business etiquette’s, Mannerisms, Interview skills and Resume writing skills. Students are also taught how to face the interview panel and are made to prepare for the unexpected business situations in real life. Tools like out of box thinking, six thinking hats, impromptu, business line, and perceptual competence help in achieving competitive edge.
