Abstract
This study explores the efficacy of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in higher education, focusing on teacher perceptions, institutional challenges, and factors influencing successful implementation within Indian B-schools. A survey was conducted with 120 faculty members to assess views on PBL and its integration. Results reveal both positive attitudes toward PBL’s potential for enhancing student engagement and significant barriers, including limited resources and time constraints. This paper discusses findings and suggests strategies to optimize PBL implementation within the Indian educational context, aiming to bridge theoretical and practical applications.
