In our practical lecture today we will do some exploratory research about a couple of universities and cities in India, from where the challenges for your final projects are coming (our partners for this semester). The universities and cities (in parentheses) are the following:

• Parul University (Vadodara)

• Kalinga Institute of Technology  - KIT (Bubaneshwar)

• Priyadarshini Institute of Engineering & Technology – PIET  (Nagpur)

• Savitribai Phule Pune University (Pune)

• Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur - IITK (Kanpur)


Try todo, for example a PESTLE analysis to characterise these regions. PESTLE  is a mnemonic which in its expanded form denotes P for Political, E for Economic, S for Social, T for Technological, L for Legal and E for Environmental.
