Summer Placement
Objectives
Summer training is a major component of the learning process at our Institute. Every student is required to undergo summer training for 8-10 weeks with an organization. On successful completion of the training, a student is required to make a presentation which is evaluated by the faculty for promotion to the second year.
The objectives of the summer training are:
1. To provide an opportunity to the students to work in professional environment and apply concepts and techniques to a real-life problem/situation,
2. To develop awareness among the students about organizations, their problems and prospects,
3. To develop individual skills towards time bound resolution of problems by actual participation,
4. To enable students to learn about their strengths / weaknesses, and their value to the organization,
5. To provide an opportunity to the students to understand possible career options, and organizations to interact with and understand the students for eventual future placement.
The training will enable the student to study the organization, its business and the environmental forces acting upon it. He/She is expected to work on a small project or participate, in individual/group capacity, in solving a given problem of the organization, under the guidance of a senior executive of the participating organization. Every summer project is guided by a faculty member of the Institute to make it more logistic.
The organization also stands to benefit from providing the summer training. The organization also benefits by getting their needs ,e.g., collection of information, processing of the information, analysis of a problem, done through a summer trainee. It provides an opportunity to a prospective employer to assess the student for possible future employment.
A student is required to submit a written report on the work done during the training ,to the Institute .
Normally, a summer training is expected to start on May and be over by the first week of July.
