REGISTRATION

As a part of MBA course curriculum, every student has to register with the Corporate

Resource Centre for summer internship. Registration takes place at the university after the End-

Term examinations of the second semester. The students are advised to register themselves on

Amizone as per the required deadlines. The information has to be furnished in the prescribed

Performa given on Amizone. The students, who will proceed for summer internship without

having registered will be declared fail in summer internship. Also such students will not be

allowed to register for Semester III.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP GUIDES

During the entire summer internship, students are required to work with two guides,

Industry Guide and the Faculty Guide. The faculty guides shall be allotted by a panel appointed by

the Academic Head. Students are advised to arrange a meeting wherein the faculty guide and

industry guide can interact and help the students to deliver good results.

INTERACTION WITH INDUSTRY GUIDE

The faculty guide will interact with the industry guide periodically. In the beginning, this

interaction helps the faculty guide to chalk out an effective orientation program and later the whole

internship program. These meetings will also enable the industry guide to know about the

progress of the projects and assignments. At the end of the internship, the faculty guide will seek

the industry guides critical comments on reports submitted by the student with a view to receive

the much-needed feedback on the students work.

The students should interact with the professional experts in the organization periodically.

These interactions help the students in letting the experts know about their progress in the

assignment and also to get the directions and instructions for further study. In these meetings, the

students may clarify their doubts and discuss their assignments for better understanding and

working. When the assignments are in progress, the role of the experts is that of a consultant.

Normally the students are required to approach professional experts with prior appointment and

after discussing with the faculty guide and the industry guide, so that they go well prepared and

derive maximum benefit from the experts. Every effort should be made to ensure that professional

experts do not have to worry about routine details concerning the educational and

administrative organization of the internship program.

INTERACTION WITH FACULTY GUIDE

The regular periodic interaction between the faculty guide and the students is

necessary. This interaction helps in continuous monitoring and guidance of the students in their

project and assignment work. In these meetings, the faculty guide will advise the students about

their performance and progress in the project and assignment task undertaken by them. Student

must ask the faculty guide about his/her strong as well as weak points and the ways to improve

upon the weak points.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

The orientation program is aimed at know-your-organization school. It is suggested that in a

period of 2 to 3 days, the students should become familiar with the organization structure,

processes involved, historical developments, and future expansion programs of the organization etc.

They should visit various departments, shop floors, attend orientation lectures by the organizational

experts, and refer to various annual reports and manuals. The students should become familiar with

the organization in all respects. The faculty guide may conduct a test and also ask the student to

submit an interim report to discuss the learning in the orientation programme.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP ASSIGNMENTS AND OPEN ENDED PROJECTS

After the completion of the orientation program, depending on the students interest and

the opportunities available in the organization, a student may choose a particular department or

activity or function or an on-going project within the organization. This may later be converted into

a project or assignment. The strength of the internship program and the latent abilities of the

students can be effectively harnessed into these projects or assignments.

The faculty guide will play an effective role in chalking out this particular aspect of the

internship program in consultation with the industry guide. If the opportunities are not available

for the students to participate in the projects or assignments, they may be asked by the faculty

guide to make an in-depth study of the organization on a specific aspect of the management.

In order to keep track of the progress made at various internship organizations, the faculty

guide will keep collecting various types of information from the students at different points of time.


5/43

5 | P a g e

ATTENDANCE

The students are required to follow the timings of the organization and attend to their work daily

except on holidays that are applicable to the organization. They should observe all the rules and regulations,

which are applicable to the employees / Summer Interns of the organization. Students should remember at

all times that they are representing Amity University and conduct themselves in a dignified and professional

manner.

ASSESSMENT AND GRADING

Assessment Scheme

There are three components of assessment; Continuous Evaluation, Industry Guide Evaluation and Final

Evaluation. The assessment scheme used will assist in judging the students on various characteristics, such as;

Knowledge of concepts, application of principles, intellectual ability, creativity and originality,

professional judgment and decision making ability, interdisciplinary approach, skills for data handling,

documentation, initiative, self-reliance, self-expression, co-operation, leadership, industry specific

knowledge, sense of responsibility, and social orientation.

Weightage of Assessment Components

However, if a faculty guide wishes to deviate from the suggested evaluation scheme given above

due to any special reasons, the faculty guide may do so with the prior approval of the Academic

Head

Continuous Evaluation by Faculty Guide

The continuous evaluation by the faculty guide will depend upon the synopsis (see Appendix B), weekly

progress report and project diary (see Appendix C).

Project diary (See Appendix C): The project diary maintained by a student enables the faculty

guide to judge the points mentioned earlier. It also provides a wonderful opportunity for the faculty

guide to study and evaluate the students ability to collect and apply information and analysis

techniques. Writing a diary has to be periodical, preferably a daily affair. It is an attempt to cultivate

the habit of documentation and to encourage him/her to search for details. It may include the

students own thought processes and reasoning. The faculty guide will check and sign the diary

periodically. The project diary is an important parameter in deciding the continuous evaluation

marks.

Continuous Evaluation by Corporate Resource Centre

The continuous evaluation by CRC will depend upon synopsis, pre placement offer (PPO)

received by the student after the summer internship and confirmation of industry guide/industry

mentor to attend the Corporate Meet (see Appendix F). In the synopsis the student is required to

submit validated information of the industry guide and HR Personnel. If a student gets PPO form the

company where he did summer internship, it shows his/her hard work, dedication and quality of

work while working for the company. There will be a corporate meet in November and the

students are advised to invite their industry guides to attend. The exact date will be intimated later.

However if an industry guide is not from Dubai, the student may invite industry mentor for the

same.

The CRC member will facilitate this process and to verifies and validate the information given

by the student in the synopsis. The CRC member will also share this information with faculty guide

and will finalize the marks in consultation with the faculty guide.

Industry Guide Evaluation and Feedback

Every industry guide will be requested by the faculty guide to evaluate the student as

objectively as possible, comparing him/her with other students of comparable academic level,

personnel with similar experience and job assignments, or professional standards for the position.

The industry guide will also be requested to offer his/her observations on the students potential


7/43

Project Report Evaluation by Faculty Guide

The faculty guide will submit the marks of final evaluation in the format for faculty guide evaluation.

The format will contain marks for both continuous evaluation and final evaluation (see Appendix E).

Viva and Presentation to Viva Voce Board

Every student has to face two boards viz. Pre-Submission Board and Final Viva Voce Board.

The Pre Submission board will judge the suitability of the report for final submission. The pre

submission board may like to give some suggestions for the improvement of the report; however

the final decision to implement those improvements solely lies with the faculty guide (see Appendix

G). The final viva voce board will see the presentation and will conduct viva voce of the student. The

board will submit the marks in format for final viva voce board evaluation (see Appendix H).

OPERATION OF VARIOUS COMPONENTS

The faculty guide, keeping in mind, the continuity of evaluation of the summer internship, will

schedule various components. The faculty guide shall remain the first point of contact for the

students from Amity University during the entire summer internship.

FEEDBACK TO STUDENTS ON CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

The aim of these evaluation components is not only to evaluate students for various

attributes as mentioned earlier but also to impart education and train them to improve upon their

deficiencies in those areas. In order to achieve this objective, the marks obtained will be advised to

the student by the academic department, within 2 to 3 days of the evaluation of a component.

FINAL GRADING

At the end of internship program, all the marks obtained by a student on various

evaluation components described above will be added. It will give the total marks earned by the

student out of 100 marks.

It is to be borne in mind that the entire responsibility of evaluation and grading rests with

the faculty guides only. The summer internship has a weightage of 9 credit units.

STUDENT GRIEVANCE

In case a student has some grievance during any stage of summer internship, he/she can

write to the Academic Head, Amity University in prescribed format for registering student grievance

(see Appendix I).
