Internship Guidelines

What is Internship?
Internship is an agreement between a university and a organization that offers an opportunity for a student to
undertake a temporary work assignment in the organization which enables him/her to have a realistic exposure
to job and organizational conditions. It is called an earn while you learn program of training. It helps a student
bridge up the gap between classroom learning and actual job conditions. Eventually, internship prepares a
student for a prospective job. Since internship is defined as a full load of work for one semester, a student is not
usually allowed to register for a regular course while doing internship.
Internship Report
If you are registered in BUS-498, you are required to submit a report on your internship project to your faculty
supervisor by the end of the semester. The report consists of two parts: (a) the organization part and (b) the
project part. The organization part carries 25% weight of your grade, while the project part carries 75% of the
weight. The report should be written in a professional manner. It should be double-spaced and typed in a good
quality paper. It needs to be bound by a hard cover with your name and I.D. number on the cover page. There is
no minimum or maximum length of the report. However, the typical size of an internship report is about 50
pages. You must keep a copy of your report for your own use because the report you submit to your instructor
will not be returned within a year.
Internship Proposal
Before you begin work on the Project Part, you must obtain approval of your Project Proposal from your faculty
supervisor. The Project Proposal is an outline of your plan of action for the internship project. Typically, the
Project topic is assigned by the organization. However, if the organization does not give you a research topic or
asks you to do some work which does not involve research, you have to choose your own topic for research in
consultation with your faculty supervisor. Please remember that an Internship Proposal is required for the
Project Part only and should include the following:
