REGISTRATION
As a part of MBA course curriculum, every student has to register with the Corporate Resource Centre for summer internship. Registration takes place at the university after the EndTerm examinations of the second semester. The students are advised to register themselves on Amizone as per the required deadlines. The information has to be furnished in the prescribed Performa given on Amizone. The students, who will proceed for summer internship without having registered will be declared fail in summer internship. Also such students will not be allowed to register for Semester III.
ORIENTATION PROGRAM
The orientation program is aimed at know-your-organization school. It is suggested that in a period of 2 to 3 days, the students should become familiar with the organization structure, processes involved, historical developments, and future expansion programs of the organization etc. They should visit various departments, shop floors, attend orientation lectures by the organizational experts, and refer to various annual reports and manuals.

Project diary (See Appendix C): The project diary maintained by a student enables the faculty
guide to judge the points mentioned earlier. It also provides a wonderful opportunity for the faculty guide to study and evaluate the students ability to collect and apply information and analysis techniques. Writing a diary has to be periodical, preferably a daily affair. It is an attempt to cultivate the habit of documentation and to encourage him/her to search for details. It may include the students own thought processes and reasoning. The faculty guide will check and sign the diary periodically. The project diary is an important parameter in deciding the continuous evaluation marks.
