SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME MONITORING & ASSESSMENT

JUNE-AUGUST 2021
ADDENDUM TO THE SIP GUIDELINES & NOTES

1. SIP PHASE WISE ASSESSMENT:

Monitoring and assessment will be done at different phases of internship on ongoing
basis by both the Company Guide and the Faculty Guide. The details are as proposed
below:

1.1 Assessment Milestones (Family Business & Corporate):

For internship in Family Business, it is suggested that the students spend time to
understand the business operations in detail. Simultaneously, they should identify, with
the help of the organization guide, areas for in-depth study and refinement, to focus on
during the internship programme. Activities to be focused on could include the
following:-
a) Expansion of business
b) Diversification
c) Business process study and refinement
d) Integrated firm analysis

For internship in Corporates (ie., non-family businesses), the project will depend on the
tasks prescribed by the organization guide as per the organization’s requirements.
Therefore, to make the SIP more effective, the faculty guide may recommend additional
tasks to be carried out by the student (as per the options described in the SIP guidelines)
to maintain the rigour and objectives of the SIP.

Accordingly, the scope of the project should be worked out in consultation with both
the organization guide and the faculty guide and monitored as per the milestones
indicated below:-

Guidelines for Writing a Project Report

A Project Report is a written presentation of the work done by the student on a given
assignment. It is important to bear in mind that even though the project report is
submitted only at the end of any given assignment, in reality it is a culmination of
continuous efforts on the part of the student.
Writing a Project Report: The SIP requires submission of project report not just to
University also to the organization where the student is undergoing SIP. What
follows are general guidelines on writing a project report.
The parts included in a report depend on the type of report you are writing, the
requirements of your audience, the organization you are working for, and the length
of your report. In a generalized sense, an ideal project report should cover the
following elements:
i) Cover / Title Page
ii) Internship Certificate
iii) Acknowledgments
iv) Table of Contents with page nos.
v) List of attachments
vi) Synopsis/ Abstract/ Summary (if applicable)
vii) Introduction.
viii) Main text with chapterisation.
ix) Findings/ Conclusions/ Recommendations (if any).
x) Learning.
xi) References.
xii) Glossary (if necessary)
xiii) Week reports (Wk 1 – 8), Data sheets, questionnaire copy, other attachements,
etc.
