5.3 Welfare Schemes for staff

I) Benevolent Fund : more than 50 staff members from non-teaching staff of the institute benefited from this fund who had suffered due to the devastating floods and also on account of chronic diseases.

II) Staff welfare fund : 33 staff members from non-teaching staff of the Institute were provided loan free of interest out of this fund to meet some special situations limited to an amount of Rs. 10,000/-per head, recoverable in 20 installments.

The funds under these two schemes are based on contributions made by the Institute staff towards these funds as well as some contribution out of the revenue generated through consultancies. The two funds are managed by duly constituted governing body and committee as per well laid down bylaws.

6.0. CENTRALIZED SERVICES
The Institute has a number of Centralised Services which facilitate the carrying out of various activities of the students and the staff effectively. A brief description of these facilities is given below:

6.1. TRAINING AND PLACEMENTS
The industrial training and placement are the two important issues of the students which are being taken care of by a well established ‘Training and Placement’ (T &P) Department of the Institute. The T & P Department is usually headed by a Senior faculty member and assisted by some administrative staff and the student representatives from the different departments.
The students have to essentially undergo a practical training period of six to eight weeks at 5^th/7^th semester level in projects and industry within or outside the state in Jan-Feb each year, when the Institute observes winter vacations. This training plays a vital role in exposing the students to actual industrial environment and in broadening their professional outlook. Thus, this training increases the employability opportunities of the students.
The T & P Department is making every effort to introduce the Institute to more and more companies and organisations concerned for better placement of the students. The Institute has been able to attract a good number of relevant reputed companies and organisations for on campus selection of the students. Mock tests, counselling and seminars are carried out for the students to train them for better performance in their interviews for placements. The endeavour of the T&P Department is to attain cent percent placement. Students from different departments are also involved in various relevant activities of the Training and Placement like quizs, mock tests ,mock group discussions etc.
