It is here that Weekend Lecture Series comes in with its mandate of bridging the industry-academia gap. WLS invites esteemed personalities from across the professional spectrum and facilitates their lucid and holistic interaction with the students, enabling the latter to learn from the former’s experiences and expertise, thereby enhancing the overall knowledge base and skill set of our students.
