SUMMER INTERNSHIP GUIDELINES
Registrati!
As a part of MBA course curriculum, a student registers for the course s"##er i!ter!s$i%&' The
registration takes place at the institute just after or during the End-Term examinations of the second

The students should reach the organization on the first da of the commencement of the summer
internship program. The !"! should ha#e complete information of the students of A$B% and the
organizations &here the are re'uired to pursue the summer internship. This information should (e
furnished on a prescri(ed )erforma. All students should register themsel#es &ith !"! (efore lea#ing
the campus for summer training. The students, &ho proceed for summer training &ithout ha#ing

help the students to deli#er good results.
Orie!tati! Prgra#
The orientation program is in terms of *kno&-our-organization school+. ,t is suggested that in a
period of 1 to 2 das, the student should (ecome familiar &ith the organization structure, process
in#ol#ed, historical de#elopments, and future expansion programs of the organization etc. The
should #isit #arious departments, shop floors, attending orientation lectures ( the organizational
experts, referring to #arious annual reports and manuals. The student should (ecome familiar &ith
the organization in all respects. ,t is a good idea for the facult guide to conduct a test and as &ell as
ask the students to su(mit an interim report.

After the completion of the orientation program, depending on the student+s o&ns interest and the
opportunities a#aila(le in the organization, a student ma choose a particular department or acti#it
or function or an ongoing project &ithin the organization. This ma (e later con#erted into an open-
ended project or assignment. The strength of the internship program and the latent a(ilities of the
students can (e effecti#el incorporated into these open-ended projects or assignments. T$e +a*",t-

The regular periodic interaction of the summer internship guide &ith the students is necessar. This
interaction assists in continuous monitoring and guiding the students in his3her project and
assignment &ork. ,n this meeting, the summer internship guide &ill tell the students a(out their
performance and progress in the project and assignment task undertaken ( them.
E#er student, from time to time must ask the summer internship guide a(out his3her strong as &ell
as &eak points o(ser#ed in the #arious e#aluation components and the &as to impro#e upon them.

,n order to impro#e and strengthen the internship program, !"! &ill collect feed(ack from the
students. 0or this purpose a comprehensi#e 'uestionnaires &ill (e designed, &hich &ould highlight
the experiences, opinions and feelings of the students regarding #arious aspects of the internship
program.
The 'uestionnaire &ill ha#e a separate ans&er sheet. The 'uestionnaire along &ith the ans&er sheet
should (e distri(uted to each student, a(out four to six das (efore the close of the internship
program.
The student is supposed to send the ans&er sheets along &ith the 'uestionnaire to the !"!. 0acult
guide and student must o(ser#e that the copies of the 'uestionnaire are not spoiled or marked since
the ha#e to (e used for the su(se'uent (atches.
,n order to keep track of the progress made at #arious internship organizations, the facult guide &ill
keep collecting #arious tpes of information from the students or the project coordinator at the
organization at different points of time.
The e#aluations of the summer internship should (e su(mitted ( the facult to Academic

this interaction helps the facult to chalk out an effecti#e orientation program and also the &hole
internship program. These meetings &ill also ena(le the professional expert 4,ndustr $uide5 kno&
a(out the progress of the projects and assignments. The facult ma in#ite the expert4s5 to seminars,
group discussions etc. At the end of the internship, the facult seeks the industr guide+s critical
comments on reports su(mitted ( the students &ith a #ie& to recei#e the much-needed feed(ack on
the student+s &ork.
The students are re'uired to interact &ith the professional experts periodicall. These interactions
help the students in letting the experts kno& a(out their progress in the assignment and also to get
the directions and instructions for further stud. ,n these meetings, the students ma clarif his3her
dou(ts and discuss his3her assignments for (etter understanding and &orking. =hen the assignments
are in progress, the role sought from the experts is that of a consultant. 7ormall the students are
re'uired to approach professional experts &ith prior appointment and after discussing &ith the
facult, so that the go &ell prepared and deri#e maximum (enefit from the expert. E#er effort
should (e made to ensure that professional experts do not ha#e to &orr a(out routine details

The internship method of education is a #ehicle through &hich one can impart meaningful
inno#ations in methods of student education and e#aluation to (ring them closer to real-life
situations. ,n summer internship course, the concept of continuous e#aluation is follo&ed.
As mentioned earlier, the educational process in the internship courses seeks out and focuses on
de#eloping the man latent attri(utes that do not surface in the normal classroom situations. These
are intellectual a(ilit, professional judgment and decision-making a(ilit, inter-disciplinar
approach, skills for data handling, a(ilit in &ritten and oral presentation, sense of responsi(ilit etc.
and are judged ( the facult though #arious instruments of e#aluation, namel, 'uiz, seminar, #i#a,
project report, o(ser#ation of the student+s performance, and project diar.
Assess#e!t S*$e#e
There are three components of assessment6 !ontinuous E#aluation, ,ndustr $uide E#aluation and
0inal E#aluation. The assessment scheme used &ill assist in judging the students on #arious
characteristics, such as6 Gno&ledge of concepts, application of principles, intellectual a(ilit,
creati#it and originalit, professional judgment and decision making a(ilit, interdisciplinar
approach, skills for data handling, documentation, initiati#e, self-reliance, self-expression, co-
operation, leadership, industr, sense of responsi(ilit, and social sense.

O%erati! + .ari"s i!str"#e!ts
The facult guide, keeping in mind, the continuit of e#aluation of the summer internship, &ill
schedule the #arious instruments.
Pr)e*t Re%rt
)roject "eport should (e su(mitted on the last da of the internship program at the station. The
report is a &ritten presentation of the &ork done ( the students on a gi#en assignment. Each
assignment should ha#e a separate report. ,n the case of group &ork, the leader has the total
responsi(ilit of planning, scheduling, and implementing. The &ork of the group in a gi#en
assignment is documented in a joint report.
,t is important to (ear in mind that e#en though the project report is su(mitted onl at the end of an
gi#en assignment, in realit, it is the culmination of the continuous efforts in the form of interim
report, student participation in seminars and the proceedings of group discussions &hich are e#enl
distri(uted o#er the entire period of the assignment. Therefore, the #arious components of the project
report should (e e#aluated on a continuous (asis. !ontinuous facult interaction &ith the students
&ould pro#ide a po&erful channel to the facult to clearl discriminate (et&een the competence
le#els of different group mem(ers.
O4ser.ati!
*C(ser#ation+, is a channel for the e#aluation of student performance at the internship ( the facult
on the (asis of their da-toda interaction &ith the facult as &ell as the organization personnel.

Pr)e*t Diar-
The diar maintained ( a student ena(les the facult to judge the points mentioned earlier. ,t also
pro#ides a &onderful opportunit for the facult to stud and e#aluate the student+s a(ilit to collect
and appl information analsis techni'ues. =riting a diar has to (e periodical, prefera(le a dail
affair. Both the facult and student should understand the philosoph (ehind recording in a diar. ,t
is an attempt to culti#ate the ha(it of documentation and to encourage him3her to search for details. ,t
ma include the students o&n thought processes and reasoning a(ilities. The facult mem(er should
check and sign the diar periodicall.
Fee(4a*/ t St"(e!ts
The aim of these e#aluation instruments is not onl to e#aluate students for #arious characteristics as
mentioned earlier (ut also to impart education and train them to impro#e upon their deficiencies in
those characteristics. ,n order to achie#e this o(jecti#e, the marks o(tained &ill (e told to the student
( the facult guide, &ithin 1 to 2 das of holding a component of e#aluation. The facult guide &ill
also tell them the &as to impro#e upon their performance.
Fi!a, Gra(i!g
At the end of internship program, all the marks o(tained ( a student on #arious e#aluation
instruments descri(ed a(o#e &ill (e added. ,t &ill gi#e the total marks earned ( the student out of
:;; marks. ,f more than one facult mem(er is in#ol#ed in e#aluation, the facult guide is expected
to consult his colleagues and the e#aluation and grading should (e done through collecti#e effort.
E#en though from time to time the facult ma (e taking help from experts and consultants, it is to
(e (orne in mind that the entire responsi(ilit of e#aluation and grading rests &ith the facult guides
