When we will pass out from IITK we would join all kinds of companies right from 'financial firms' to 'IT giants' to the 'core industries'. The job profile would be different in all of these but most of they will have one thing in common. The job would demand good ( if not great ) presentation skills from us. And we as the students of IITK are well known for our poor communication and presentation abilities.
One of the reasons is that we don't get enough opportunities during our stay here to make presentations and improve our interpersonal skills. So why not introduce the concept of making presentations individually or in groups in the class itself ?
There are a few courses of MBA which demand frequent presentations by students. But these courses are not alloted to most of the Btech/Mtech/MSc students who opt for these as Open Electives.

Also i feel that to make the student community more involved in their studies Projects can be a very important tool. These projects may not be Experimental always and can be theoretical also.
During any project done the amount of learning one does is far greater than what can be taught in classroom.
