At the Meliora Solutions Entrepreneurship Hub, we focus on a Problem-Based Approach. This method empowers our students to actively identify real-world problems and explore innovative solutions using their entrepreneurial skills. By moving away from traditional syllabus constraints and exam schedules, we foster an environment that prioritizes individual innovation and effective team collaboration.

In addition to this innovative educational approach, we integrate a robust Mentorship Program that brings external business professionals and entrepreneurs into the classroom. These mentors do more than just teach; they guide, inspire, and open doors to the industry for our students.
