NOTE:
• The students are supposed to complete at least three of the above mentioned
assignments working in
atleast three sections.

Students working in groups of 4 or 5 will have to cover 5 assignments.

• In case any student finds more than three sections available in the factory, the
time allocated for
carrying out the assignments in each section may be suitably adjusted to cover all
the sections
available.

• The Project deliverables/results should be quantified as far as possible. Weightage

would be given to
the facts and statistics during evaluation of the report.

Students have to maintain learning dairy thought the duration of the Internship. &
submit the same during the jury.
