Ms Tejaswini,
“but thing is that students should also have that interest of learning things.”
This is a sad truth of our MBA programs, as I mentioned earlier, MBA students are responsible adults and can decide for themselves, if they are willing to learn they will cooperate, ones who don’t care, don’t matter. Now I understand this attitude is not feasible as in HR class say 15 out of 20 students are time passing and not serious, doing MBA for the heck of it to extend their college life at their father’s expense also distracting the committed ones.
This is a challenge faced by almost all upcoming, non reputable, easy to enter, donation based MBA institute. We don’t get to hear this issues of Student’s disinterest from IIMs, FMS, ISB, Symbiosis or such elites.
Solution is hidden in the attitude of the management of such institutes, if they are strict, disciplined and committed to impart effective training worth the caliber of MBA then students will fall in line. You can refer to my post on this issue.

Regarding Project on Study of HRD Processes, you break this down into various modules, prepare task list and distribute among the teams in the class to research and prepare a presentation. Let students become teachers and teach their colleagues under supervision.
Stimulate the creativity, initiative, interest, curiosity amongst students for the subject by sighting case studies how HR has changed companies, society and over all work experience in the society, site examples from Pre industrial era, Industrial era and our today’s times. Discuss, debate, brainstorm formation, evolution, invention, discoveries of various HR concepts. Provide role model examples to students to look upto, discuss achievements of HR greats such as; Peter Drucker, Henry Fayol, Federick Herzberg, F W Taylor, many more. Stimulate students imagination, give them a role model to emulate in HR field.
As I mentioned, let students learn themselves. Give them topics to learn and conduct MCQ tests in the class almost everyday, prepare tough, interactive and effective MCQs (Multiple choice Questionnaire).
MBA is a higher level study, don’t spoon feed or pamper students, they need to prepare themselves for the mean calculative world ahead. Relate every effort, every training, every lecture, every concept with its cost implication on business. Connect students with reality of functioning business model.
In study of HRD process example recruitment :
Let student learn themselves what is recruitment, but during class, teach the reality of recruitment, strategies (not only the bookish ones) but what goes in reality. Teach how recruitment affects cost and revenue, work on hypothetical figures, give a percentage, calculation, cause and affect of this concepts on profitability of the business. Discuss true case studies, invite recruiters for interactions with students, make them do , speak, present, make them act, this is how you can make HR live and interesting.
As a teacher, you need to be on your toes, research, prepare presentations, MCQs, activities, increase your Industry contacts, be a step ahead of students.
