Hi everyone,

I newly joined the forum. This is actually my first post. I support the need for both practical and classroom learning.

60% classroom and 40% practical will be better

practical education is important for understanding and developing industry insights sitting in your classroom. Ideally, the firswt half of the sessions should be theoretical and extensive projects giving practical insights should follow.

i think both is reqkuired. both plays a vital role.. in class room we r getting theoritical knowledge and to implement those is the way of technique required to tap the market..

Hi everyone,

Most of the replies suggest to have a blend of both theoritical and practical session, I would like to hear on how the blend should be, to my knowledge the blend should be like if the theoritical classes are held for 3 months a 2 months field work or assigning of a team to particular Industry on the specific subject to have the practical and realtime knowledge on that would be good. If the school is going for a semester system, if its a annual system, the belnd would be much better with more scope for the student to do the practical data. 5 month Theory and a 4 month Practical. This requires much of the industry University collaberation, for which either the students must form into teams approach Industries or the management should plan and coordinate with the Industries.

I think the perfect blend btw classroom and practical training can be compared to the sport of swimming.In swimming the theoritical part is explained by the instructor,but a person can only learn swimming in water which is the blending point.
Similarly a classroom training is required to build the theoritcal framework,platform and concepts.A labourer cannot run a machine(for eg. manufacturing of spare parts of a car) if he doesnt know the working behind it.).A practical approach should be given immediately after the training.

I agree some subjects can be learnt only theoritically but subjects which require practical approach should be taught practically.
Having said that,there have been exceptions like Dhirubhai Ambani who without the education platform built a huge business empire.But that was coz of lack of oppurtunity.But in todays competitve world education in the form of classroom as well as practical training is available for everyone.

MBA institutes put more emphasize on case study approach(IIM Bangalore),presentations,Report activites,Group activites,Visual learning,Role Play,etc.All these come under the practical approach of teaching subjects.

In India,more emphasize is given to classroom education.Coz of exam pressure and competition,students study the subject from exam point of view n do not learn the subject.On the contrary in US,Europe,Australia,etc. the education system is far more practical oriented.That is the reason y students go abroad to pursue further education.Also coz the Indians are good at rote learning and slogging,back office work is outsourced to our country and much of the front end activity is done by the other countries.
So institutes,schools,colleges in India shd change the system of teaching(starting from the primary level).This is will give better returns in future after 20 years.

So to conclude, a perfect blend shd be thr btw both the forms of training.

I feel practical knowledge holds more importance as it teaches you things in the real environment unlike being in the class room.
It surely depends on the nature of subject but also depends on the professor. In practical knowledge you are not dependent on any professor.
