 Subject : Professional Practices (Common Paper)
Subject Code : 602

Rationale:
Most of the diploma holders join industries. Due to globalization and competition in the
industrial and service sectors the selection for the job is based on campus interviews or
competitive tests.
While selecting candidates a normal practice adopted is to see general confidence, ability
to communicate and attitude, in addition to basic technological concepts.
The purpose of introducing professional practices is to provide opportunity to students to
undergo activities which will enable them to develop confidence. Industrial visits, expert
lectures, seminars on technical topics and group discussion are planned in a semester so that
there will be increased participation of students in learning process.
Activities to be undertaken:
Students are expected to undertake these activities:

1. Acquire information from different sources ( Print and electronic) on the topics of specialization
and related to the subjects of II nd and final year. The class is to be divided in groups of not more
than five to six students in a group and all groups are to be allotted topic of their choice. The
topic should not be repeated to other group for originality of work to be performed by the group.
This activity will develop interdependence and leadership among the students.

2. Prepare notes for given topic at point no 1. The notes will be in form of a project report, having
all the sections of report. The report should not be of 30 – 50 pages.

3. Prepare presentation and Present the learning and finding on given topic in a seminar. The
presentation should be prepared in Power Point module having more than 25 slides. All students
should be asked to deal with suitable parts decided by the group itself.

4. Interact with peers to share thoughts. After the final presentation the students should be
encouraged to interact with the faculty members, students’ fellows and other experts for
suggestions and advanced and structured learning.

5. Undertake industrial visit of their area and choice. Prepare a report on industrial visit. Expert
lectures on the topic selected may be invited for the students and these expert lectures also the
students should be asked to prepare a report and present the same in seminar or have a group
discussion before the expert and faculty members.

6. Develop entrepreneurial traits. Students group may be asked to have a field survey and product
assessment and analysis for a product of their choice. Prepare a report for all the inputs of their
requirement and submit it for evaluation.

7. To prepare for start ups. Expert lectures for exploring this option may be arranged as this is also
a viable option and much talked about option for self employment and avail the encouragement
by the government.

Based on the above rationales students will advised to develop traits under guidance of dedicated
faculty members / mentors.
