CHAPTER 1: INTERNSHIP & ITS IMPORTANCE

1.1 Introduction

The rise in global competition has prompted organizations to devise strategies to have a talented and
innovative workforce to gain a competitive edge. Developing an internship policy is an impactful
strategy for creating a future talent pool for the industry. The Internship program not only helps fresh
pass-outs in gaining professional know-how but also benefits, corporate on fresh perspectives on
business issues and even discovering future business leaders.

The interaction of Technical Institutions with the industries has been restricted to the level of faculty
communications and 2 to 4 hour industrial visits by the students. The institutions are under a great
stress to renew education offered by them, to be as close as possible to the industrial scenario.
Competition in the job sector is rising exponentially and securing entry-level jobs is getting very
difficult, as the students passing out from technical institutions lack the experience and skills required
by industry. AICTE has initiated various activities for promoting industrial internship at the graduate
level in technical institutes. The main aim of these initiatives are an enhancement of the employability
skills of the student passing out from Technical Institutions. AICTE has prepared a model curriculum
with the help of prominent academicians of the country so that the country may produce competent
employable graduates as per the needs of the industries. The model curriculum includes the internship
for students of six months’ duration at different stages of the programme.

Keeping this in view, AICTE has developed this Model Internship Guidelines for organizing Internship
at degree and diploma level. These guidelines comprise of Steps for Establishing, Maintaining &
Fostering Internships. AICTE’s MoUs with various Ministries, Government/ Non-Government/ Private
organizations to facilitate internship have also been included.

The internship experience will augment outcome based learning process and inculcate various attributes
in a student in line with the graduate attributes defined by the NBA.

1.2 Objectives

Internships are educational and career development opportunities, providing practical experience in a
field or discipline. They are structured, short-term, supervised placements often focused around
particular tasks or projects with defined timescales. An internship may be compensated, non-
compensated or some time may be paid. The internship has to be meaningful and mutually beneficial to

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
the intern and the organization. It is important that the objectives and the activities of the internship
program are clearly defined and understood. Following are the intended objectives of internship training:

 Expose Technical students to the industrial environment, which cannot be simulated in the
classroom and hence creating competent professionals for the industry.
 Provide possible opportunities to learn, understand and sharpen the real time technical /
managerial skills required at the job.
 Get exposed to the current technological developments relevant to the subject area of training.
 Use the experience gained from the ‘Industrial Internship’ in classroom discussions.
 Create conditions conducive to quest for knowledge and its applicability on the job.
 Learn to apply the Technical knowledge in real industrial situations.
 Gain experience in writing Technical reports/projects.
 Expose students to the engineer’s responsibilities and ethics.
 Familiarize with various materials, processes, products and their applications along with
relevant aspects of quality control.
 Promote academic, career and/or personal development.
 Expose the students to future employers.
 Make students available to industry for employment.
 Understand the psychology of the workers and their habits, attitudes and approach to problem
solving.
 Understand the social, economic and administrative considerations that influence the working
environment of industrial organizations

CHAPTER - 2: AICTE GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZING INTERNSHIP

2.1Internship duration and academic credentials:

The following framework is proposed to give academic credit for the internship undergone as part of
the programme.

 A minimum of 14-20 credits of Internship/ Entrepreneurial activities / Project work/ Seminar

and Inter/ Intra Institutional Training may be counted toward B. Tech. degree programme and
10-16 credits for three-year diploma programme.
 Here, 1 credit is equivalent to minimum 40-45 hours of work. Therefore, a full-time intern is
expected to spend 40 - 45 hours per week on Internship, Training, Project work, Seminar
activities etc. This will result in 600 to 700 hours of total internship duration for B. Tech and
450-500 hours for diploma.

Internships may be full-time or part-time; they are full-time in the summer vacation and part-time
during the academic session. AICTE curriculum is flexible to adjust internship duration. Therefore,
opportunities must be provided for experiences that cannot be anticipated when planning the course.
The institutes have the flexibility to schedule internship, Project work, Seminar duration according to
the availability of the opportunities. However, minimum requirement regarding duration and credits is
as follows:

Table1 states that during the summer vacations, after the 2 nd Semester, students are required to be
involved in Inter/ Intra Institutional Activities such as training with higher Institutions or Soft skill
training organized by Training and Placement Cell of the respective institutions; contribution at
incubation/ innovation /entrepreneurship cell of the institute; participation in conferences/ workshops/
competitions etc.; Learning at Departmental Lab/Tinkering Lab/ Institutional workshop; And working
for consultancy/ research project with-in the institutes.

During the summer vacation after 4th/ 6th semester, students are ready for industrial experience.
Therefore, they may choose to undergo Internship / Innovation / Entrepreneurship related activities.
Students may choose either to work on innovation or entrepreneurial activities resulting in start-up or
undergo internship with industry/ NGO’s/ Government organizations/ Micro/ Small/ Medium
enterprises to make themselves ready for the industry. In case student want to pursue his family
business and doesn’t want to undergo internship, a declaration by a parent may be submitted directly to
the TPO.

AICTE has taken various initiatives to connect AICTE approved institutions located in a particular
district with nearby villages for technological intervention and networking for holistic transformation of
the rural population by identifying the possibilities of localized employment, convergence, cost
reduction, Youth and Women empowerment etc. Keeping this in view, AICTE Rural Internship
Programme has been proposed. It is proposed that if a student completes any long term goal during his
degree programme, his credit requirement for the internship is fulfilled. However, if only short term
goals under the programme are completed. It will be counted towards AICTE Activity Point
Programme requisite.

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
During the Last semester/ 8th semester, students may take Project Work & Seminar as specified in the
curriculum of the institute.

Every student is required to prepare a file containing documentary proofs of the activities done by him.
The evaluation of these activities will be done by Programmed Head/Cell In-charge/ Project Head/
TPO/ faculty mentor or Industry Supervisor as specified in the Table 2.

2.2 Training Placement Cell in Colleges / Universities & its role in providing Internship

All the AICTE approved institutes are required to have a dedicated Training and Placement Cell headed
by Training and Placement Officer (TPO). Training and Placement Cell with the help of the department
coordinators will organize internship and training in addition to the placement activities. Every institute
may allocate 1% of their total budget to facilitate the functioning of Training and Placement Cell and
meet the funding requirements for various activities. In any institute TPO plays an important role in
boosting the career of students. The purpose of the Training and Placement Officer is to guide students
to choose the right career and to plan for programs and activities to enhance knowledge, skill, attitude
and the right kind of aptitude to meet the manpower requirements of the Industry. The overall role of
the Training & Placement cell is of a facilitator and counselor for training and placement related
activities.

The industry is always on the lookout for students who are vibrant, energetic individuals and ready to
accept challenges, attentive, with a good academic background, fast learners, open to learning even at
work and more importantly possessing good communication skills. TPO shall assist students to
develop/clarify their academic and career interests, and their short and long-term goals through
individual counselling and group sessions. The placement cell shall act as a contact place and facilitator
to arrange internship of the students, campus visits and conduct of the recruitment process of the
employers for the purposeful placement of students of the institution.

Further, to assist students for industrial training at the end of fourth and sixth semester, Training &
Placement cell shall also design and implement internal curriculum take classes, arrange expert, arrange
agency for student’s Personality Development, Improving Communication Skills, Vocabulary,
preparing students for Resume Preparation & Email Writing, Group Discussion, Interview Skills,
Aptitude Training & Practice Tests, Technical report writing, presentation skills, Foreign Languages

Fig.1. Organizational Structure at Institution Level

Training and Placement Officer of the Institute will be supported by a Departmental coordinator for
Training and Placement Activities and Faculty Supervisors/ Mentors designated by the Head of the
concerned Departments/Principal. Each department will have a student’s committee comprising of 1-3
students from each class for supporting Training and placement activities headed by Student
Coordinator. Departmental coordinator and Faculty Supervisors/ Mentors will be nominated at the start
of the Academic year for each batch. However, student coordinator being the representative of students
will be selected by the students with the help of Training and Placement Officer.
Faculty Mentor/Supervisors have to play active roles during the internship and minimum 20 students
are to be supervised by each faculty mentor or as per the departmental strength.

2.3 Internship guidelines:

The T&P cell will arrange internship for students in industries/organization after second, fourth and
six/seventh semester(s) or as per AICTE/ affiliating University guidelines. The general procedure for
arranging internship is given below:

 Step 1: Request Letter from the office of Training & Placement cell of the college should go to
industry to allot various slots of 4-6 weeks during summer vacation as internship periods for the
students. Students request letter/profile/ interest areas may be submitted to industries for their
willingness for providing the training. (Sample attached)
 Step 2: Industry will confirm the training slots and the number of seats allocated for internships via
Confirmation Letter. In case the students arrange the training themselves the confirmation letter
will be submitted by the students in the office of Training & Placement through concerned
department. Based on the number of slots agreed to by the Industry, TPO will allocate the students
to the Industry. In addition, the internship slots may be conveyed through Telephonic or Written

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
 Communication (by Fax, Email, etc.) by the TPO or other members of the T&P cell / Faculty
members who are particularly looking after the Final/Summer Internship of the students.
 Step 3: Students on joining Training at the concerned Industry / Organization, submit the Joining
Report/Letters.
 Step 4: Students undergo industrial training at the concerned Industry / Organization. In-between
Faculty Member(s) evaluate(s) the performance of students once/twice by visiting the
Industry/Organization and Evaluation Report of the students is submitted in department office/TPO
with the consent of Industry persons/Trainers. (Sample Attached)
 Step 5: Students will submit training report after completion of internship.
 Step 6: Training Certificate to be obtained from industry.
 Step 7: List of students who have completed their internship successfully will be issued by Training
and Placement Cell.
2.4 Guidelines for the students:

Internship/ Placement is a student centric activity. Therefore, the major role is to be played by the
students. TPOS may also include involvement of the student in the following activities :

• Design and Printing of Placement Brochure – Soft copy as well as Hard copy.
• Preparing list of potential recruiters and past recruiters.
• Placement Presentation at various organizations, if required.
• Coordinating activities related to Placement including companies HR team visit to institutes.

At the commencement of the session, the members of the student placement committee would be
selected from the interested students, who submit applications to TPO to work on placement committee.
Among the volunteers, one student would be nominated as “Student Coordinator” who would be
assigned major responsibilities and would be accountable to TPO.

For allotment of internship slots all the students will be required to submit “student internship
programme application” before the prescribed date (Format attached).

The offer given by the company is to be accepted irrespective of the Company / Job profile or job
location or stipend offered.

A student who will voluntarily give in writing that He / She does not require placement assistance from
the Institute would be exempted from participation in the Placement activities. This could be because of

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
various reasons such as – Joining family business, opting for higher education or competitive
examination etc.

Though organizations select individual students, but Recruitment is a team effort. Hence, all students
while interacting with the recruitment teams should be careful and behave responsibly.

2.5 Health, safety and welfare of apprentices:

The provisions of Internship act shall apply in relation to the health, safety and welfare of the
apprentices as if they were workers within the meaning of that Act and when any apprentices are
undergoing training in a mine, the provisions of Chapter V of the Mines Act, 195, shall apply in
relation to the health and safety of the trainees as if they were persons employed in the same.

CHAPTER – 3 : GUIDELINES FOR INDUSTRY FOR PROVIDING INTERNSHIP

3. Guidelines for Industry for Providing Internship

For meeting the objectives of the internship programme and successful implementation, Internship
program has to be designed keeping in view the company’s requirements and students profile. Design
of internship programme can be developed by industry in collaboration with the institute. It may be
comprised of the following steps:

3.1 Identify Targets/goals

A meaningful discussion with management in the organization can create a consensus on program goals
that can be understood by all involved.

 What does the company hope to achieve from the interns?

 Is a small company searching for technical help?
 Is the company growing quickly and having difficulty in finding motivated new employees?
 Is it a non-profit organization that doesn’t have a lot of money to pay, but can provide an
interesting and rewarding experience?
 Is the organization searching out new employees with management potential?

3.3 Prepare a written plan

Carefully plan and write the internship program – An internship plan has to be developed which
will be referred to by industry supervisor/mentor, interns and institute faculty. An internship plan
should corporate the following:

• Job description/internship duties.

• Name of the project, If any.
• Internship Schedule and Expected learning outcomes.

Students can offer a fresh perspective to the business, strategies, and plans. To really reap these
benefits, students may be included in brainstorming sessions and meetings etc. The intern may also be
given opportunity to understand Project Management and finances. This will help him to appl y these to
one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team. It’s no secret that this generation is more tech-savvy
than any other before. Companies may take the opportunity to use them to find out some digital
solutions for various issues.

3.4 Allocation of students to Industry

After the allocation of internship slots by the industry to the institute, the students have to be allocated
to the industry. In case the industry wants to select the students based on their requirements, the
industry can conduct an interaction/ interview with the students and select the students. In case the
industry leaves it to the Institute to select the students, TPO may evolve transparent criteria for
allocation of students to the industry based on the requirements of industry and students' interest.

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
3.5 Managing/ facilitating the intern(s)

Orientation of Interns: Orient intern in the new workplace. This might take the form of a conventional
orientation program or merely a walk around the office, depending on the size of the company. Give
interns an overview of the organization; some companies give talks or hand out information about the
company’s history, vision and services. Explain who does what and what the intern’s duties will be.
Introduce him or her to co-workers.
Resource requirement of Interns: Give the intern a desk, point out the supply room, and introduce the
technical support people.

Guidance/ Regular Feedback: Along those same lines, it’s important to give them lots of feedback.
Especially if interns have never done the kind of work before, they’ll want to know if their work is
measuring up to organizational expectations.

Monitoring of intern’s progress every day: Daily progress report of Intern is to be evaluated by
industry supervisor. Maximum use of short term internship has to be ensured for the intern as well as
industry.
Periodically, examine what the intern has produced and make suggestions. Weekly supervision
meetings can help to monitor the intern’s work.

CHAPTER – 4: INTERNSHIP REPORT

4.1Student’s Diary/ Daily log

The main purpose of writing daily diary is to cultivate the habit of documenting and to encourage the
students to search for details. It develops the students’ thought process and reasoning abilities. The
students should record in the daily training diary the day to day account of the observations,
impressions, information gathered and suggestions given, if any. It should contain the sketches &
drawings related to the observations made by the students.

The daily training diary should be signed after every day by the supervisor/ in charge of the section
where the student has been working. The diary should also be shown to the Faculty Mentor visiting the
industry from time to time and got ratified on the day of his visit.

Student’s Diary and Internship Report should be submitted by the students along with

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
attendance record and an evaluation sheet duly signed and stamped by the industry to the
Institute immediately after the completion of the training. It will be evaluated on the basis of the
following criteria:
 Regularity in maintenance of the diary.
 Adequacy & quality of information recorded.
 Drawings, sketches and data recorded.
 Thought process and recording techniques used.
 Organization of the information.

4.2 Internship Report

After completion of Internship, the student should prepare a comprehensive report to indicate what he
has observed and learnt in the training period. The student may contact Industrial Supervisor/ Faculty
Mentor/TPO for assigning special topics and problems and should prepare the final report on the
assigned topics. Daily diary will also help to a great extent in writing the industrial report since much of
the information has already been incorporated by the student into the daily diary. The training report
should be signed by the Internship Supervisor, TPO and Faculty Mentor. The Internship report will be
evaluated on the basis of following criteria:
i. Originality.
ii. Adequacy and purposeful write-up.
iii. Organization, format, drawings, sketches, style, language etc.
iv. Variety and relevance of learning experience.
v. Practical applications relationships with basic theory and concepts taught in the course.

CHAPTER – 5 : MONITORING & EVALUATION OF INTERNSHIP

The industrial training of the students will be evaluated in three stages:

5.1. Evaluation by Industry.
5.2. Evaluation by faculty supervisor on the basis of site visit(s).
5.3. Evaluation through seminar presentation/viva-voce at the Institute.

5.1. Evaluation by Industry

The industry will evaluate the students based on the Punctuality, eagerness to learn, Maintenance of

Model Internship Guidelines 2

Manual
Daily Diary and skill test in addition to any REMARKS.
5.2. Monitoring/ Surprise visit by TPO/ Staff/ Faculty Mentor

TPO/Staff/ Faculty Mentor of the institutes will make a surprise visit to the internship site, to check the
student’s presence physically, if the student is found absent without prior intimation to the T & P Cell,
entire training will be cancelled. Students should inform the TPO, faculty mentor as well as the industry
supervisor at least one day prior to availing leave by email. Students are eligible to avail 1 day leave in
4 weeks and 2 days leave in 6 weeks of the internship period.

5.3. Evaluation through seminar presentation/viva-voce at the Institute

The student will give a seminar based on his training report, before an expert committee constituted by
the concerned department as per norms of the institute. The evaluation will be based on the following
criteria:
 Quality of content presented.
 Proper planning for presentation.
 Effectiveness of presentation.
 Depth of knowledge and skills.
 Attendance record, daily diary, departmental reports shall also be analyzed along with the
Internship Report.

Seminar presentation will enable sharing knowledge & experience amongst students & teachers and
build communication skills and confidence in students.

CHAPTER 6.: AICTE ACTIVITY POINT PROGRAMME

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR EARNING 4 YEARS DEGREE PROGRAMME

Apart from technical knowledge and skills, to be successful as professionals, students should have
excellent soft skills, leadership qualities and team spirit. They should have entrepreneurial capabilities
and societal commitment. In order to match these multifarious requirements, AICTE has created a
unique mechanism of awarding minimum100 Activity Points over and above the academic grades.

Every regular student, who is admitted to the 4 years Degree program, is required to earn 100 Activity
Points in addition to the required academic grades, for getting 4 Years degree programme. Students
entering 4 years Degree programme through lateral entry are required to earn 75 Activity Points, in
addition to the academic grades, for getting 4 years’ degree program. Similarly, Diploma students are
required to earn 75 Activity Points during 3 years of their diploma.

AICTE recommends 300-400 hours Activity Programme for each degree student for Community
service and allied activities. Similarly, 200-250 hrs should be devoted by Diploma student for
Community service and allied activities as an additional requirement or non-credit programme. Here,
40-45 hrs is equivalent to 1 week.

These activities will be coordinated by NSS/NCC/Sports/SAGY Coordinator or TPO of the Institute.

The student will be provided a certificate from the concerned coordinator and Institutional Head.

Every student is required to prepare a file containing documentary proofs of activities, done by him/
her. This file will be duly verified by the concerned evaluator as listed in Table4. Thereby the student
should earn at least 100 activity points before he/ she appears for his/ her Final Examinations. The
points students have earned will be reflected on the student’s transcript. However, there will be neither
grades/ marks for these points nor will there be any effect on SPI/CPI/CGPA.

As proposed under the AICTE Rural Internship Programme, if a student completes any long term goal
during his degree programme, it will be counted as Internship Activity and credit requirement for the
internship is fulfilled. However, if only short term interventions under the programme are attempted it
will be counted towards AICTE Activity Point Programme requisite. Following suggestive activities as
Long Term Goals may be carried out by students in teams:

1. Prepare and implement p

7.2 General Internships Guidelines

 Internship is always more valuable compared to a college project as it enables the interns to
understand how companies work, build new contacts, develop a network and most importantly work
on real-life projects executed within the company. Institutes are advised to send students for
internship at least twice during the complete program once after second year and once after third or
final year.
 Many interns seem to judge the company by the number of employees in the organization. Do use
more meaningful criteria to judge the company for the internship such as the time and training that
they are willing to devote to you, type of products, value addition and services offered by the
company in relation to what you want to learn, technologies employed by the company with respect
what you want to master etc.
 An internship is a great opportunity to learn in industrial environment without being an employee of
the company. Students are advised to set their goals prior to starting their internship and focus on
completing them during the internship
 If a student joins a very large organization to do an internship, he must use the opportunity to learn
about the activities performed in the various departments by doing short stints in each of them. This
experience will help provide him the big-picture in better understanding the career prospects in
relation to his ambitions.
 Attitude and mindset play a great role in the learning process. Do tackle all tasks given with
enthusiasm and positive attitude.
 Interns must avoid negativity and never ignore a chance offered to them to learn more about a
concept, technology, industry or company.
 Interns must be inquisitive and try to gain maximum knowledge and exposure.
 Interns shall identify a good mentor within the company and take initiative to execute new projects
where one can make a difference to the company.
 Interns should enjoy during the internship and leave with tangible accomplishments.
 The intern will maintain a regular internship schedule determined by the Intern and his/her Project
Head.
 Interns shall view an internship as a bridge between college and the workplace. Do use it to their full
advantage while they are at it.
 The intern must demonstrate honesty, punctuality and a willingness to learn during the internship
program.

 The intern will obey the policies, rules and regulations of the Company and comply with the
Company's business practices and procedures.
