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.

The details of the students of the institute placed in different organizations during the year are given in the following table:
