Besides giving them a depth of knowledge through their chosen specialization, this gives students an additional diploma in their minor/exploratory subject. ABLE also focuses on Exploratory and Life-Skills courses from the newly-instituted UPES School for Life, increasing the breadth of their knowledge across domains. Along with the core subject, specialization, minor subject, and life skills course, students can also choose one co-curricular activity for holistic learning. The UPES School of Law supplements this knowledge with a hands-on approach, with practical learning methods like moot courts, immersive industrial tours, webinars by experts, and a lot more.
