APJ ABDUL KALAM

TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY
SUMMER TRAINING COURSES / INTERNSHIPS
As per the revised academic calendar S2 Classes will end on 5th May, 2016 and
S3 classes will start on 1st August, 2016. Regular University Examination is
scheduled from May 20 to 1stJune, 2016. The students will get about two
months gap from the end of examination and start of next semester classes
which has to utilised for summer training courses or internships.
All affiliated engineering institutions should encourage better interaction with
industry. This will have great bearing on the engineering education resulting in
exposure of industrial atmosphere to engineering students and subsequent
placement of young graduating engineers in industries across the country.
With the advent of globalization and opening up of Indian economy to
outside world, competition among industries has become stiff. To solve their
engineering problems, they look up now to engineering institutions. Similarly,
there is an urgent need to prepare engineering students for jobs in
multinational companies, by exposing them to newer technologies and
engineering methodologies. These objectives can only be achieved well by
bridging the gap between industry and the academic institute.
A priority is to ensure that practice meets theory across all functional areas.
Colleges should arrange platforms for students for engagement with industry
leaders throughout this summer vacation. These interactions are not limited to
internships and case discussions. The students organize and moderate
summits and panels that bring together experts, thinkers and practitioners
from India and abroad. Students also benefit from intensive mentoring by
committed and enthusiastic industry professionals.
The Institute should encourage its faculty, technicians and students to interact
with industry in all possible ways with the spirit of deriving mutual benefit. The
major modes of interaction are listed below:
Internship
The students shall carry out internship or training in industries during the
semester breaks. The students along with the faculty can identify nearby
industries or work sites and undergo training. The industry can be even small

industries. The attachment of the students in such industries with the active
participation of faculty can be mutually beneficial as the faculty and students
can also get the training as well as suggest schemes to modernise and
innovate the process and systems.
Guest Lectures
Invite corporate leaders to visit the campus throughout the summer vacation
to give guest lectures covering varied topics in all functional domains, as well
as topics on industry practices and major business developments. These guest
lectures serve as a valuable means of interaction between students and
practitioners.
Live Projects
As part of the academic curriculum, students get opportunities to work on live
projects throughout the year in different functional areas. Live projects
generally can be projects that students undertake in both the corporate and
NGO sectors.

The internship activities are not limited to students who passed in all subjects,
but to students who are willing to build their career associating with industries
from first year of their studies onwards.

A good faculty can be able to guide and mould students to identify problems
associated with industry, society etc. An engineering student must be capable
of identifying the problems around us and act as a problem-solver. These
internships will definitely help to identify and associate him/her with the
industry from the beginning, which will boost the employability of the student.
