Project Friday in India
Project Friday
Project Friday is a project-based learning initiative conducted at Atharva University and Atharva College of Engineering in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The initiative provides students with opportunities to develop projects, present ideas, demonstrate prototypes and receive feedback from faculty members and industry professionals.[1]
History
Project Friday was introduced at Atharva College of Engineering as a structured platform for student project presentations and practical learning. The college held its first reported session on 18 July 2025, involving student groups from multiple engineering branches.[1][2]
Atharva University also conducts Project Friday activities across its academic schools. These activities include project presentations and practical assignments in areas such as engineering, computer science, design, management and other disciplines.[2][1]
Objectives
The initiative aims to connect theoretical education with practical applications. Its activities encourage students to develop technical knowledge, creativity, communication skills and problem-solving abilities.[2]
The programme also provides opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work and explore applications of their academic learning in professional settings.[1]
Activities
Project Friday activities vary by academic discipline and institution. At Atharva College of Engineering, activities have included project presentations, progress reviews and evaluations of student work.[1]
The college's inaugural session in July 2025 involved 279 student groups, according to its institutional newsletter. Faculty members and industry representatives participated in mentoring and evaluating projects.[1][2]
At Atharva University, activities are conducted through different academic schools. The university publishes reports documenting individual Project Friday sessions and student presentations.[2][2]
Educational approach
Project Friday follows a project-based learning approach in which students apply classroom knowledge to practical tasks. Depending on the discipline and project, students may work individually or in groups, prepare demonstrations, document their progress and present their findings for evaluation.[2]
The format provides opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and interaction with professionals outside the classroom.[2]
