INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
Industrial Training aims at exposing the students to field practices, size and scale of
operations and work culture at practical sites. For this purpose, students at the end of
fourth semester, are required to be sent for a period of 4 weeks at different work sites.
Each student is supposed to study the material and technology used at site and prepares a
detailed project report of the observation of processes seen by him/her. These students
should be supervised and guided by respective subject teachers. Each teacher may guide a
group of four to five students.
The teacher along with field supervisors will conduct performance assessment of
students. The components of evaluation will include the following.
- Punctuality and regularity 15%
- Initiative in learning new things 15%
- Relationship with workers 15%
- Industrial training report 55%
