 4.7 INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

Industrial training provides an opportunity to students to experience the environment and culture
of industrial production units and commercial activities undertaken in field organizations. It
prepares student for their future role as diploma engineers in the world of work and enables them
to integrate theory with practice.

For this purpose, students at the end of fourth semester need to be sent for industrial training for
a minimum of 4 weeks duration to be organised during the semester break starting after IV
Semester examinations. The concerned HODs along with other teachers will guide and help
students in arranging appropriate training places relevant to their specific branch. It is suggested
that a training schedule may be drawn for each student before starting of the training in
consultation with the training providers. Students should also be briefed in advance about the
organizational setup, product range, manufacturing process, important machines and materials
used in the training organization.

Equally important with the guidance is supervision of students training in the

industry/organization by the teachers. A teacher may guide a group of 4-5 students. A minimum
of one visit by the teacher is recommended. Students should be encouraged to write daily report
in their diary to enable them to write final report and its presentation later on.

Internal assessment and external assessment have been provided in the study and evaluation
scheme of V Semester. Evaluation of professional industrial training report through viva-
voce/presentation aims at assessing students understanding of materials, industrial process,
practices in industry/field organization and their ability to engage in activities related to problem
solving in industrial setup as well as understanding of application of knowledge and skills learnt
in real life situations. The formative and summative evaluation may comprise of weightage to
performance in testing, general behaviour, quality of report and presentation during viva-voce
examination. It is recommended that such evaluations may be carried out by a team comprising
of concerned HOD, teachers and representative from industry, if any. The components of
evaluation will include the following.

a) Punctuality and regularity 15%

b) Initiative in learning new things 15%
c) Relationship with workers 15%
d) Industrial training report 55%
