DESCRIPTION

The primary objective of the Summer Internship Programme (SIP) is to enable students gain an
exposure to industry and understand current and contemporary management practices by spending
a minimum of 60 days (i.e. 8 weeks including Sunday) in a company during their summer break
between the 2nd and 3rd semester.
Students are required to identify a company for their SIP, in consultation with and approval of
their faculty guides. The choice of the company should be intimated to the Programme
Administrator before commencement of the SIP. Simultaneously, students should also have
identified a guide within the company (industry guide) under whose supervision and guidance they
would carry out their SIP.
During their stay with the company, students are required to gain an understanding of the
company’s history, details of its founders or shareholders, the nature of business, organisational
structure, reporting relationships, working of the different management functions, key issues and
concerns, and nature and types of customers through observation, discussion, and interaction with
the company personnel. This list is only indicative, and not exhaustive.
Students should collect and gather as much as possible written materials, published data, and
related matter. In the process of carrying out their SIP, students are required to identify an issue or
problem or a given task or assignment or project or learning opportunity in the company etc. in an
organization / industry that they can work on during the SIP course in the 3rd semester. This should
be discussed with their faculty guide before completing the SIP. It is expected that the SIP shall
sensitize the students to the
demands of the workplace.
At the end of the SIP, students are expected to submit a report copy to the company & a hard &
soft (CD) copy of which will be submitted to Project Coordinator. The report should clearly
indicate the sources from which information was obtained.
The report should be well documented and supported by:

• Title page
• Copyright page/ Declaration
• Company Certificate (on company letter head, duly signed by authority person from the company
with seal/stamp)
• School/University Certificate
• Faculty Guide Certificate
• *Dedication (where applicable)

Evaluation will be based on three factors – (i) feedback from the industry guide (ii) project report
assessment by the faculty guide, and (iii) presentation and oral examination (to be evaluated by two faculty
members, one of whom will be the faculty guide & another will be external faculty member). The
presentation should be specific, clear and well analyzed, and indicate the specific sources of information.
Each factor would carry weight.
