AICTE Training and Placement cell’s general role is that of a facility giver and counselor for training and placement related activities.  The industry is always looking for students who are bright, active individuals who are ready to take on challenges. They have a solid academic background, are fast learners open to learning even at work, and most importantly have good communication skills.  Through individual counseling and group sessions, it will support students in developing and clarifying their academic and professional interests as their short and long-term objectives.  The placement cell will serve as a point of contact for students to arrange internships, campus visits. 

The Training and Placement Officer of the Institute can assign by a Departmental Coordinator for Training and Placement Activities and Faculty Supervisors/Mentors. There will be student committees in each department, made up of 1-3 students from each class. AICTE committees will help with training and placement activities, under the supervision of the Student Coordinator. At the start of the academic year, a departmental coordinator and faculty supervisors/mentors is require to get appoint for each batch. However, as the students’ representative, the coordinator will be chosen by them with the assistance of the Training and Placement Officer. Faculty mentors/supervisors must be active participants in the internship, and each faculty mentor must oversee at least 20 students.

The cell will organise internships for students in industries/organizations following the semester, or as per AICTE/affiliating university rules. Institutions may also develop an online system for organising and maintaining internships. The following is the usual approach for organising internships:

If  students organise their own training, they must submit a confirmation letter to the Training & Placement office via the respective department. TPO will assign students to the industry based on the number of slots agreed upon by the industry. The people in charge of students’ final or summer internships may communicate the internship slots by phone or written communication. 

Step3:- Students must submit the joining report/letters/email when they begin training in the relevant industry or organization.  

Step 4:- Students complete industrial training in the relevant industry or organisation. Meanwhile, faculty members visit the industry/organization once or twice to evaluate students’ performance Students’ evaluation reports that are filed in the department office/TPO with the approval of an industry persons or trainers.

As a result, all students should exercise caution and responsibility while engaging with recruiting teams.  If a student tells the school in writing that they don’t need help with finding a placement, they don’t have to participate in the activities. This may be due to lots of factors like joining a famiy company, pursuing further education, taking a competitive examination and so on. Although organisations choose individuals, recruitment is a collaborative endeavour.
