Training & Internship

A student’s skills and practical experience are unquestionably improved by an internship, which ultimately increases his or her employability. At present all engineering undergraduates are undergoing following:

• Workshop/training from 2^nd Semester
• 4 Week Industrial Internship after 4^th Semester
• 8–12 Week Industrial Internship after 6^th Semester
• 6-months internship after 6^th Semester

In addition to this Institute may also permit B.Tech. Students to paid internship cum placement (subject to grant of specific permission by the Institute) after 3 months free internship starting from 6^th Semester (selected batch) for which specific eligibility conditions are to be met by the students. The policy applicable to the students for placements will also be applicable for the students seeking this internship.

1. 1The students who want to avail the 6-months internship during their 6th semester must not have any backlogs. Also, a limit of 25% of the total student strength per department is applicable.
2. 2Students opting 6-month internship will be allowed to appear in campus placements like all other students.
3. 3Students can avail 6-months internships in either in industry or in a research laboratory strictly through Institute Training and Placement cell.
4. 4The internships have to be strictly completed at least one week before the deadline of submitting the grades as mentioned in the academic calendar.
5. 5All such students who wish to undertake a internship or those who are selected for such an internship will have to give an undertaking that such internship will not affect their academic performance.

Each department will form an "Internship advisory committee, IAC" to address all academic activities related to the internship, allotment of course, and all activities ranging from approving an internship to its final evaluation. Department will ensure the implementation of all the provisions of this policy.

• Evaluate the Internship Notification Form (INF) received from the company and make a decision on approving the internship.
• The committee will form an evaluation criterion for the internship as per the guidelines. At the end of 6 months, each student is expected to submit a project report, and make a presentation to a department-specific evaluation committee.
• Grades will be given based on the quality of both, report and presentation, as well as on the report submitted by the external supervisor. Further details about the evaluation mechanism can be worked out by the department.
• For each student, the committee will appoint a faculty member as an internal supervisor.
• If a student finds an internship on his own, or a faculty member finds an internship for students, the committee will inform the training and placement cell immediately about such internships. The training and placement cell will allow such internships only if the industry undergoes the campus selection process.
• The committee will make decisions about policies of the respective departments regarding the internships, whether to allow cross-disciplinary internships, or only core-department related projects. If a student is not given sufficient technical work during the internship, initiate a mechanism to call the student back from the company.
• At the end of every calendar month, the advisor will collect a progress-update from the student. It is expected that the organization should allot a well-defined project and a clearly stated objectives for the intern. Advisor should check that.
• In case of pre-placement offers (PPO), all companies are expected to inform PPO always through the placement cell.
• Since internships involve academic credits, the company will have to allot a supervisor for each intern, called as external supervisor.
• An organization must share all details pertaining to the internship and submit the duly filled INF to create an official record.
