1. Attitude and Commitment

  • Students are expected to approach the internship with seriousness and dedication. This program is designed to provide meaningful, hands-on experience and skill development, and it requires interns to fully commit to their roles and responsibilities. A time-pass attitude is not acceptable; instead, interns should demonstrate a proactive approach, enthusiasm for learning, and a strong work ethic.

2. Certificate Issuance

  • Certificates will be provided under the following circumstances:
    • a. Completion Timeframe: If a student takes longer than the stipulated internship period to complete it.
    • b. Performance Criteria: If a student fails to achieve the required marks as per the criteria.
    • c. Tasks Category: The criteria for tasks is a minimum of 45 out of 50 marks.
    • d. Interview Category: The criteria for the interview, which tests overall learning after completing all tasks, is a minimum of 35 out of 50 marks.

  • Academic Integrity: Students found engaging in cheating during tasks will be disqualified from receiving a certificate.

3. Equipment and Task Performance

  • Students must have access to a laptop for task performance. If a laptop is not available, students should be prepared to perform tasks on a phone, recognizing that it may require more time and could be challenging, especially for coding tasks. Ensuring the proper equipment is essential for efficient and effective completion of the internship tasks.
  • This policy ensures that all interns have the necessary tools to successfully participate in and complete their assignments.

4. Progress Tracking

  • WhatsApp Group Communication: Interns will be added to a dedicated WhatsApp group. This platform will be used for distributing training materials, assigning tasks, and facilitating active communication. WhatsApp is chosen due to its simplicity and wide availability, ensuring all interns can participate without technical barriers.
  • Training Material Distribution: Training materials, including documents, videos, and links to relevant resources, will be shared every day. This ensures interns have a clear understanding of the day’s objectives and can prepare accordingly.
  • Task Assignment and Submission: Tasks will be assigned through the WhatsApp group with clear instructions and deadlines. Interns will submit their completed tasks either directly in the WhatsApp group with project link either uploaded to drive or at some online code editor.
  • Regular Feedback: Mentors will provide constructive feedback on tasks submitted, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.
