 CHAPTER-5: CONCLUSION:
The following the conclusion that has been derived from the Impact Analysis feedback form
that was shared with the students of S4 Mechanical on 13 th May, 2023. From the analysis
report, we can say that
Hence, we can conclude that the Industrial Visit was extremely beneficial and worth a time,
and the students of S4 Mechanical had a great time, during the two days. The rating as shown
above, is based on the feedback form, and the team, behind the trip has not only maintained
their time during the trip, but also made sure that we visited the places mentioned in the
package and got the most from the adventure, the highlight being the Jeep trekking at
Ramakkalmedu.
