APD is a hands-on, project-based learning program where students work on real-world problems guided by certified mentors. It is discipline-independent, designed for graduates across all specialisations.
2. Mentoring Projects for Impact (MPI)

MPI trains and certifies faculty members and industry professionals as project mentors, equipping them to guide students through the APD program to NOCN standards.
Both programs are mapped to the UK Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) Level 3 and Level 5, aligned with the European Qualification Framework (EQF), and benchmarked against India's National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) — making them globally recognised and locally relevant.
