Training and Placement Office actively interacts with industrial, technical, management and research organisations in the country with the dual aim of ensuring that students are given adequate technical exposure/industrial training during their pre-final year and subsequently get employment in organisations whose functional requirements of high calibre engineers and scientists are best met by graduates and post-graduates of the Institute.

TRAINING

Pre-final year undergraduates, are required to undergo 15 working days’ practical training during summer vacations following the 6th semester in partial fulfilment of their degree requirements. Industries which have been giving employment to the students in the past are encouraged to organise vacation training as well. They are also encouraged to give minor projects to the students to make practical training more meaningful. Besides, efforts are made to obtain maximum possible number of stipends during training by personal dialogue with the executives of various industries.

Ground Rules for practical training are promulgated in August/September every year. Requests from students desirous of under-going practical training through private arrangements are entertained by the third week of March in the prescribed format with the recommendation of the concerned Head of the Department. Confirmatory letters of private arrangements from organisations are accepted by the third week of March. Students who do not submit confirmatory letters for private training by due dates are given a billet from the general pool after seats have been allocated to all other students. Selected industries giving excellent training and stipends are also invited to interview students prior to their selection for training keeping in view their ultimate placement with them at the opportune time. For the rest of students, seats are arranged by the Training and Placement Office and allotments made by respective Departments on the basis of merit-cum-choice. Any training under-gone by students violating the Ground Rules is not recognized.

Students are expected to participate in colloquium on completion of their training and numbers  are awarded by departments for this practical training. The students are required to maintain training diaries which are scrutinized by the Training Coordinator (a faculty member of the Institute) and Training Officer/Incharge of the company.

PLACEMENT

An active and dynamic programme of securing jobs for students graduating from the Institute is initiated by inviting industries of repute and other organisations to conduct interviews. Wide publicity of the activities of the Institute both from academic and extra-curricular point of view is given to organisations who have hitherto neither trained nor placed our students.

GENERAL

Literature of companies such as annual reports, technical brochures, publicity material and functional requirements of young engineers is available in their respective folios in the Reference Library being maintained in the office of the Head, Training and Placement, to enable students appreciate the scope and working of various industries which will ultimately be visiting the campus for placement purposes.

Lectures are also given to students to supplement the above information and special talks are organised on subjects

such as “Career Counselling”, interview techniques and modes of communication. Besides, relevant data on various

industrial and technical organisations are collected, sifted and compiled and an analysis of past training and placement activities presented to the students to help them decide their future course of action. Ground Rules on placement activities are formulated to ensure that adequate justice is done to all the students depending on their merit and aptitude.

In the process of organisation of industrial training and placement of students, Training and Placement Office serves as an effective link between the Institute and the industry and helps create and develop valuable interaction and feedback to their mutual advantage.
