AICTE releases notification for rules to be followed for internships during COVID19 Lockdown
The All India Council for Technical Education has released a notification regarding the internship programme as part of the technical courses. The notification consists of mandatory guidelines to be followed by the students for internships being conducted across the different institutions during the lockdown initiated by the government.
The notification released on the official website of AICTE stated that the affiliated institute must follow the social distancing as asked by the central and state government.
The AICTE has also asked the institutions to order the students not to take up any internship programmes which involve them traveling or come in contact with any outsider. The AICTE has also asked the affiliated colleges to follow the lockdown situation.
The AICTE has however allowed the instituted to continue with the internships which allow work from home for the students.
The final year technical education students are required to take part in industrial exposure in the form of internships as part of the curriculum. The internships are conducted to help in creating situations that will help students gather knowledge and apply it to work. However, with the lockdown in place, the chances of completing the internship will be a task.
The AICTE has asked the institutes to deliver challenging problems to the students as part of the internships which can be dealt with from their homes itself. The council is very strict about the orders given and expects all the institutions to follow the same. The colleges are also supposed to score the students based on the problems given and once the situation improves the colleges can expect a revision in the policies.
