The Commits course has been redesigned with sharper focus providing more opportunities for students to unlearn and relearn.

Commits follows a unique teaching methodology that consists of classroom lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, demos, field visits, practical work, case studies, presentations, and live industry projects.

The teaching methods focus on learning and understanding, and less on notes and reproduction of content. All work is given weightage and assessed. There is continuous internal evaluation for all subjects, including mid-semester exams and quizzes.
