IIM Ranchi Adopts AI-Integrated Assessments, Rethinking Exams
IIM Ranchi, a business school, is changing how it tests students.
Instead of traditional tests, students will now work on projects using AI to solve real business problems.
This teaches them how to use AI in their future jobs.
The school is also changing its attendance rules, encouraging students to come to class but not forcing them.
They will still have regular exams at the end of the term to make sure they know the basics.
This is all to help students learn better and be ready for the workplace.
IIM Ranchi replaces traditional mid-term exams with AI-integrated projects.
The 'WAI' initiative focuses on real-world business problem-solving with AI.
Students collaborate with AI for innovative solutions to business challenges.
Attendance policy shifts to flexible model based on positive reinforcement.
End-term evaluations will continue with traditional hall-based exams.
