Nature and Extent of involvement of faculty and students in academic affairs/ improvements. The Academic environment in AFMI is built on the strong foundation of lifelong learning. A collaborative spirit underlies the teaching. At the end of every trimester a written feedback is obtained from students for every course. At the end of the year, an open feedback session is held for students to recount their experience in AFMI and make suggestions for improvements in the curriculum. A committee consisting of the Director and outside experts considers the suggestions and makes changes/improvements.

AFMI students not only become members of a specific Management class but also help shape the institution for those who follow. To encourage this process, we involve students in many aspects of institution; they now interview applicants and routinely take part in orientation activities by attending dinners and leading discussion groups. Our goal is to help students to understand both the benefits and the responsibilities that come with joining the AFMI community.
