WHAT IS A SUMMER TRAINING REPORT?

It is intensive study on a topic. It explores the subject in depth and elucidates information
about the problem investigated, the methods used to solve the problem, the results of the
investigation and the conclusions inferred and a set of recommendations that can be
implemented.

WHAT CAN BE STUDIED IN A PROJECT?

The project taken for study can be related to a particular organization. It can also be a
comparison study of many organizations, or related to an industry. All projects must be
related to the broad sectoral area either directly or indirectly.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

How valuable is the study to be done by you? Does it have application value? Can it be used for
improvement by the organizations? The study should highlight its application in day to day
functioning or in a specific area. The data collected should be primary, i.e., gathered by your own
observation, or it may be secondary i.e. taken from the records of the organization where the
research is being undertaken like balance sheets, control figures, performance reports, sales
reports. Survey of recent publications on the topic will provide comparable secondary data from
other sources. Student must ensure that the project undertaken is an original study. The set of
guidelines for the project work is also given to the guide to ensure that the student abides by the
format or project structure laid down by the institution.

A certificate (attached format) from the industry guide on organization letter head duly
stamped should be submitted along with the project work.

SYNOPSIS: (To be submitted by 10th June 2015 (email at [email protected] ).

A Synopsis is an outline of what the intended research is all about and the general plan of action. It
serves as a guideline for the ensuing research. It should contain the following elements. Before
embarking on the actual study, it is necessary to submit a SYNOPSIS of the intended study
approved by the Industry Guide. The synopsis should be brief - Not more than 4 to 5 pages and
must be submitted in the structured format given below:
Proposed Title of Project
Organisation Name and Address with phone no.s and email ID
Name of Industry Guide
Designation
Mob.No.

Note: Along with synopsis you have to register for Final placements by filling up the form online
(link will be mailed on official mail by 10 th June.) Fill Information by 15th June 2015

REPORT STRUCTURE / CONTENTS:

1. Introduction: To the topic under study, Eg. If it is a study on inventory control
practices, an introduction as to what is inventory control and its practices, and
other introduction should be given.
2. Introduction

to

the

Organization:

brief

background

about

the

company/organization where the study will be conducted, like name, location etc.
and also relevant details like organization structure, existing systems related to the
particular subject under study.
3. The problem under study: This section should contain:
a. Background of the problem task undertaken ( i.e. how & why the project
was selected)
b. Rationale of the study
c. Scope of the study: Scope should indicate the broad area taken up for study or
investigation and indicate limits within which the study is being conducted.
(E.g. the time period, geographical area, departments of an organization etc.)

4. Review of Literature: indicating the research done so far with regard to the
particular subject.
5. Objectives : This section should contain:
a. The Main Objective you have to accomplish through your project
b. Specific Objectives i.e. what all you need to in order to achieve your main

6. Methodology: This section would include the plan of the study method of data
collection, instruments used tools & techniques of analysis, limitations of study.
How and where will the study be conducted? Where will the data for the study be

7. Observations, Analysis & Discussion: This part can be covered in more than one
chapter, depending upon the coverage of the study. (try to make use of the relevant

Tables, graphs, flow charts etc. What type of analysis is being done on the data
gathered? Is it qualitative or quantitative? Qualitative analysis is done on data
collected from marketing research, product development etc. It mainly consists of
subjective inputs and rarely uses precise numerical description. In Quantitative
analysis the data gathered is quantified in terms of numerical or figures and
suitable statistical analysis is done. Quantified data is more reliable and precise
than qualitative data.
8. Conclusion & Recommendations: The project should be summed up with a
rundown of the project in its entirety. (Based on the study done)
Recommendations are based on the conclusions of the study. It is important to
indicate that a set of recommendations should follow from the conclusion inferred.
These should be based on the usefulness of the study, applicability in business
industry, in decision making, in system development and so forth.
If possible, quantify the benefits that can be gained from following the
recommendations. Indications as to what other techniques can be applied to
improve the systems viz. cost saving techniques, precautions.
