While most colleges already use the inputs of alumni and industry experts, HR College of Commerce & Economics at Churchgate has now looped in 60 parents from fields related to courses taught for inputs on the college’s curriculum. The advisory group includes approximately five parents for each course.

These parents share their inputs with the course coordinator, who takes them further to the Board of Studies — the body responsible for designing the syllabus, programmes, and the broader curricula of these courses. The parents concluded their first online meeting with the coordinators last month.
