SUMMER TRAINING PROJECT GUIDELINES - 2012

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 closeof 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 intocontact 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 theindustry/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 thoseof direct interest to the host organization. Students are encouraged to take up time

bound multi-disciplinary and goal-oriented assignment involving team work.

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 theleave rules of the STP organization and should ensure strict adherence to the

timings of the organization.

Unprofessional behaviour, misconduct, indiscipline, irregularity at work and

unsatisfactory performance will lead to cancellation of STP. Students may also

not be permitted to register in Semester III resulting in the loss of at least one

academic year. Besides this, any other form of academic action PIMR might deem

fit to impose.

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 withthe aid of the company guide, while STP is in progress. The Faculty Guide will be

involved at all stages of the project.

During these interactions, the student would be informed about his/her

performance, progress in the project, his/her strengths and weaknesses as

observed through various evaluation components and also ways for improvement.

However, the student also has the responsibility to seek clarification from therespective faculty on all the above aspects regularly.

Students must facilitate the meeting of Faculty Guide and the Company Guideregularly. 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 behaviourof 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 andalso 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.

• Projects under the STP could be of a significant importance to the hostorganization -in terms of their objective of "Technical Documentation"

aiming at updating or modernization of information systems etc. Therefore,

proper care should be taken while documenting the project. The Faculty

Guide may be consulted for any problems faced during the process.

• The project reports submitted by the students must be prepared by

themselves. Any resemblance of the project report will be dealt very

seriously and the student will not be awarded any marks for the same.
