The quintessential pedagogy of learning at PKSBE:

Our Objective:

Bench-marking quality, inspiring Innovation, encouraging creativity and molding tomorrow's game changers through the gauntlet of a unique and radical learning system. Mentored by professionals from across the industries, our aim is to develop every student into a creative genius honed from lessons learned and mastered in the smoking cauldron of outstanding talent creation.

Delivery:

The curriculum methodology and delivery are very radical, yet grounded in reality. Eighty percent of the curriculum is based on real-life learning uniquely developed through experiences of high adrenaline activities like, sky diving, mountaineering, survival boot camp, deep sea diving, reptile sensitization, tribal living and running a restaurant apart from the intensive, cutting edge content filled 20 percent theory.
These carefully crafted learning levers have been designed to open the minds, which are closed with fear and preconceived rigid logic structures to accept, understand, learn and apply the business innovations that are being taught, in ways that create magical markets and bustling business.
Also, every student must learn to create their own opportunities by beginning an entrepreneurial journey with a business in turbulence where sanity and balance is to be struck by using all the lessons learned right across the earlier experiential learning.
These are part of the Progressive Learning Techniques, which are our building blocks of applied learning. They are based on a foundation of rock-solid conceptual competence, using expertly chosen and compiled curriculum extracted and creatively reapplied from global and local standards of learning.
At PKSBE, every student will learn across a deliberate design-based 'learning trellis' with an elaborate collaboration of the structures of Concept, Reflective Practice Learning Projects, Simulated Application of Concept-in-Action, Business Street Individual and Team Assignments, which demand High Pressure Results and form an integral part of the learning labyrinth of life as a student.
Learning methods at the Prahlad Kakar School of Branding and Entrepreneurship involve simulated games. These are specifically designed to supplement theories learnt with interactive exercises and engagements. All these learning exercises and engagements are designed to deliver against meticulously premeditated learning outcomes while addressing the needs of today's industry. With the student's relentless effort to meet the standards of learning demands, it prepares one to thrive in a dynamic, competitive environment.

Outcome:

'Fear of Failure and the Fear to Fail' is the platform which supports mindless learning, inconsistent competence, academic suffocation, action paralysis and declaration of artificial success.
At the Prahlad Kakar School of Branding and Entrepreneurship these barriers are designed to be breached once and for all. Students are encouraged, inspired and propelled across intense learning experiences. Experiences which bring them face to face with every dark and fearful shadow that always underline all effort. Most schools of conventional learning don't dare to present these in their curriculum and pedagogy. The truth is, these dark shadows when embraced provide the depth and resilience to learn.
True entrepreneurs with propensity for risk are sought to be developed, who must take the necessary risk to succeed and lead by example and create unmistakable value, by not just do-ing it but own-ing it.
They are encouraged to learn to tap into their creative and entrepreneurial talents and think and act like a business professional right from the very start.
We find great resonance with this truism and want every student at PKSBE to share it in the product they deliver. Themselves. Transformed. Totally.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear."
