The application for accommodation should reach the Dean of Student Affairs through the faculty supervisor and the head of schools for permission. The costs towards food and access to other amenities have to be paid by the student,” said a notification issued by the institute.
On completion of the internship, the student has to submit a report of the work. The institution will issue a ‘Training Completion Certificate’ to the student. But it will not award any grade for the work carried out by the interns during the programme, said sources.
