Students need to take an approval to do their internship from a company of

repute.

office.

You need to submit the report as per the format prescribed by the Academy

How it is done?

their internship.

• The department will issue letter of reference addressed to the

industries, mentioning the details of the student, such as registration
number, roll number, etc.

of consent to complete the internship.

The overall objective of internship is to experience the way in which

organizations function in a given environment. The keyword is experience.

 III. Studying different departments of the organization and highlighting
SWOT.

year of course work is applied in the real time business world.

The internship is divided into three phases

iii. Interface after the internship
Each of the time periods is very important.

expectations from the organizations.

The internship is an additional responsibility undertaken by organization;

therefore don’t expect organizations or the person in charge to respond to

even 1 day. This doesn’t mean that organization is not need of you. It only
indicates that they have different priorities.
