Why Copy-Paste Projects Are Killing Student Potential
Every semester, thousands of students submit the same recycled projects. From marketing plans to business models, the names may change, but the structure and insights remain identical. While this might check the box on academic requirements, it’s silently sabotaging the very reason students enrolled in a PGDM/MBA program - skill development.
Copy-paste culture encourages surface-level thinking. Students don't learn how to research, brainstorm, or solve real-world problems. Faculty receive similar reports that lack creativity or depth. Employers notice too - graduates often fall short in problem-solving, leadership, and practical execution.
This approach stunts personal and professional growth. Students lose their chance to discover their strengths, take ownership, and build a portfolio that showcases their unique approach. It’s not just about grades; it’s about standing out in the job market.
Apexio replaces theoretical fluff with real-world micro-projects tied to startups. Students work on actual business challenges, not imaginary case studies. From creating pitch decks to running digital campaigns, they build proof of work, not just assignments.
“The shift from cut-copy-paste to contribute-create-practice is where real learning begins.”
