There is a broad mix of students from English-medium and vernacular medium schools enrolled in the B Tech engineering courses who need to be made employable and industry-ready. Students from vernacular-medium backgrounds need additional training to acquire the skills in corporate etiquette expected by recruiting companies
Training Needs Analysis (TNA):
The predominant needs for training and development are in the following areas:
These training needs are met through Aptitude and Soft Skills training, Technical Training sessions and workshop-based short term training sessions on software-specific skills. Training is provided by in-house faculty members having subject expertise in these areas. Hands-on training by external experts is also provided at regular intervals.
Baseline Trainability and Performance Appraisal:
Students undergo Diagnostic Tests in core subject areas like English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at their entry stage during the commencement of their 1st Year B. Tech course. Performance indicators in these tests are carefully noted by subject teachers and their subsequent development is closely monitored.
Suitable remedial intervention is provided to weaker students and those who are underperforming in the regular class tests and semester exams. This is done in the form of Remedial and Tutorial classes, taken in successive semesters, where subject teachers provide remedial teaching in the designated subjects, sample worksheets and problem sheets, and take tests. In the Tutorial classes, the students in a particular batch are divided into tutorial groups and given subject-specific sessions on doubt clearing and intensive practice activities. The 3 weeks Student Induction Programme (SIP), conducted in the beginning of the 1st Year B. Tech course, also has exposure to industry through Industry Mentor meets,
BCT: Regular Training in Aptitude, Soft Skills and Reasoning Abilities:
The Institution has also implemented Beyond Curriculum Training programs (BCT) and embedded it into the curriculum. During the 3rd and the 7th semesters, training is imparted in Soft Skills and Verbal Ability, forming a part of the preparation for placement tests. Modules in Quantitative and Logical Aptitude, Verbal ability and Analytical Reasoning are given, with in-house training in the workshop mode and mock-tests. This aids in preparing the students for the recruitment process, for entrance exams for higher studies and for other competitive examinations. Apart from training by in-house faculty, the third-party training partners (Myperfectice) also take care of providing on-line resources like on-line practice tests every week, and they also monitor the performance of the students in the online tests.
Advanced Training—GATE and other entrance-specific training: Advanced training is also provided, to the students who are suitably meritorious, in various engineering and management entrance exams in higher studies like GATE exams. They are given suitable intensive coaching in subject papers as well as practice tests and exercises. These classes are highly popular and the good performance of students in these tests testifies to the quality of the training imparted.
