Industrial Tours / Study Tours

Technical education without having a hands-on experience is never going to be fruitful. Every year we schedule a series of extraordinary pre-planned group tours for students. It provides opportunities to students to discover new things for themselves, through participation in hands-on activities. “Industrial visits are efforts to bridge the gap between theory and practical” and its benefits are as follows:

  • It helps students gain first hand information regarding functioning of the industry.
  • Provides opportunities to plan organize and engage in active learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
  • It is mandatory in various Indian universities. Hence, it also fulfills certain curriculum requirements.
  • Provides an insight into the real working environment of the industry.
  • Helps them to see their future place in the working world.

Summer Internship

  • Internship policy is an impactful strategy for creating a future talent pool for the industry.
  • AICTE & BPUT has initiated various activities for promoting industrial internship at the graduate level in technical institutes.
  • The main aim of these initiatives is to enhance the employability skills of the students graduating from technical institutions.

Benefits of Summer Internships

  • An opportunity to get hired by the Industry/ organization.
  • Practical experience in an organizational setting.
  • Excellent opportunity to see how the theoretical aspects are learned in classes is integrated into the practical world. On-floor experience provides much more professional experience which is often worth more than classroom teaching.
  • Helps them decide if the industry and the profession is the best career option to pursue.
  • Opportunity to learn new skills and supplement knowledge.
  • Opportunity to practice communication and teamwork skills.
  • Opportunity to learn strategies like time management, multi-tasking etc. in an industrial setup.
  • Makes a valuable addition to their resume.
  • Enhances their candidacy for higher education.
  • Creating network and social circle and developing relationships with industry people.
  • Provides opportunity to evaluate the organization before committing to a full time position.

To accommodate above guidelines, students of Mechanical Engineering Department have visited the following industries to complete their Summer Internship.
