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 6 weeks upto 8 weeks duration to be organized 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 per week 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.
An internal assessment of 100 and external assessment of 100 marks 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 behavior, 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. The components of
evaluation will include the following.
a) Punctuality and regularity 15%

6.5 PROJECT WORK
L T P
- - 12
RATIONALE
Project Work aims at developing innovative skills in the students whereby they apply in totality
the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution of particular problem or
by undertaking a project. In addition, the project work is intended to place students for project
oriented practical training in actual work situation for the stipulated period.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After undergoing the project work, students will be able to:
Apply in totality the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution
of particular problem or by undertaking a project. In addition, the project work is intended to
place the learner for project oriented practical training in actual work situation for the stipulated
period with a view to:
 Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of field-
work in which students are going to play their role after completing the courses of study
 Develop understanding of subject based knowledge given in the classroom in the context
of its application at work places.
 Develop first hand experience and confidence amongst the students to enable them to use
and apply polytechnic/institute based knowledge and skills to solve practical problems
related to the world of work.
 Develop abilities like interpersonal skills, communication skills, positive attitudes and
values etc.
General Guidelines
The individual students have different aptitudes and strengths. Project work, therefore, should
match the strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be asked to identify the type of
project work, they would like to execute. The activity of problem identification should begin
well in advance (say at the end of second year). Students should be allotted a problem of interest
to him/her as a major project work. It is also essential that the faculty of the respective
department may have a brainstorming session to identify suitable project assignments for their
students. The project assignment can be individual assignment or a group assignment. There
should not be more than 3 students if the project work is given to a group. The project work
identified in collaboration with industry should be preferred.
This practical training cum project work should not be considered as merely conventional
industrial training in which students are sent at work places with either minimal or no
supervision. This experience is required to be planned in advance and supervised on regular basis
by the polytechnic faculty. For the fulfillment of above objectives, polytechnics may establish
close linkage with 8-10 relevant organization for providing such an experience to students. It is
necessary that each organization is visited well in advance and activities to be performed by
students are well defined. The chosen activities should be such that it matches with the curricular
interest to students and of professional value to industrial/ field organizations. Each teacher is
expected to supervise and guide 5-6 students.
Some of the projects are listed below for the benefit of the students:
1. Study and detailed estimate of different component of modern residential and commercial

The overall grading of the practical training shall be made as per following table.
In order to qualify for the diploma, students must get “Overall Good grade” failing which the
students may be given one more chance to improve and re-evaluate before being disqualified and
declared “not eligible to receive diploma ”. It is also important to note that the students must get
more than six “goods” or above “good” grade in different performance criteria items in order to
get “Overall Good” grade.
Range of maximum marks Overall grade
i) More than 80 Excellent

ii) 79 <> 65 Very good
iii) 64 <> 50 Good
iv) 49 <> 40 Fair
v) Less than 40 Poor
Important Notes
1. This criteria must be followed by the internal and external examiner and they should
see the daily, weekly and monthly reports while awarding marks as per the above
criteria.
2. The criteria for evaluation of the students have been worked out for 200 maximum
marks. The internal and external examiners will evaluate students separately and give
marks as per the study and evaluation scheme of examination.
3. The external examiner, preferably, a person from industry/organization, who has

been associated with the project-oriented professional training of the students, should
evaluate the students performance as per the above criteria.
4. It is also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be given
merit certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be better if specific
nearby industries are approached for instituting such awards.
The teachers are free to evolve other criteria of assessment, depending upon the type of project
work.
It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work
