1. INTRODUCTION
The Summer Training Program (STP) forms an important component of
education at PIMR, Indore. It is an attempt to bridge the gap between the
academic institution and corporate world. Under this, the students must undertake
6 weeks training at any organization during the Intervening period between close
of Semester II and commencement of Semester III. The training, which would be
a simulation of real work environment, requires the students to undergo the rigor
of professional environment both in form and substance. It exposes them to
technical skills, and helps them to acquire social skills by drawing them into
contact with real professionals.
For proper coordination and ensuring organized and smooth conduct, each student
will also be guided by Faculty of the institute. A representative of the
industry/organization also guides the student and assists the faculty in monitoring
the student's progress.
2. OBJECTIVE
STP is a vehicle for introducing students to real-life situation, which cannot be
simulated in the classroom. Therefore, STP assignments must necessarily be those
of direct interest to the host organization. Students are encouraged to take up time
bound multi-disciplinary and goal-oriented assignment involving team work.
Solutions to various problems confronted in the assignment might be open-ended,
involving an element of analytical thinking, processing and decision-making in
the face of insufficient data parameters and uncertain situations. Students are
advised to read the contents of the handbook carefully prior to commencement of
Training.

Conduct and Behaviour
The students during STP are placed in the role of ambassadors of PIMR. The
Institute would always expect students to maintain professional and social
imprints of high standards in the organization.
PIMR expects the students to abide by the rules and regulations of the place of
work during training. It is particularly important to be regular, punctual and well
mannered at work. During the period of training the student shall be subject to the
leave rules of the STP organization and should ensure strict adherence to the
timings of the organization.
7. FACULTY GUIDANCE
Every student is assigned a Faculty Guide at the beginning of the STP. The role of
the Faculty Guide is to enable the student to undertake a meaningful project,
provide the necessary academic guidance, and to facilitate evaluation, along with
the aid of the company guide, while STP is in progress. The Faculty Guide will be
involved at all stages of the project.
Students must facilitate the meeting of Faculty Guide and the Company Guide
regularly. This would help the Faculty Guide to assess the student's progress in
his/her respective project and the quality and quantity of work put in by the
student. These meetings would also help the Faculty Guide to judge the behaviour
of the students in the organization, and the relationship the student maintains with
the other executives/ staff of the organization.
A student must discuss with the faculty the progress made in his/ her work and
also seek clarification of any doubts related to his/her work with the Company
Guide and professional experts.

8. IMPORTANT TIPS
• Before beginning your assignment check if any of your seniors had earlier.
undergone STP at the same organization. If yes, do collect the report
submitted by those trainees and study them carefully. Copies of such reports
would be available at PIMR.
• Apart from providing an exposure to real work situations, the STP is also an
opportunity of learning the art of information/data identification,
classification, acquisition, processing and presentation.
