Why Inplant Training?

Inplant Training is the best way to practice what have been learnt. The purpose of including
training at the end of II semester is to provide an opportunity to students to investigate a problem
applying management concepts in a scientific manner. It enables students to apply their conceptual
knowledge in a practical situation and to learn the art of conducting a study in a systematic way
and then presenting their findings in the form of report. As Managers, constantly seek information
to take decisions, this activity will enable the students to collect, synthesize and utilize information
for decision making and reaching specific conclusions.
In the present time due to COVID -19 lockdown and restrictions imposed; the students will not be
able to work as intern in Industry. Therefore it has been decided that the student do a project based
