  • FINISHING SCHOOL PROGRAM FORENGINEERING GRADUATES

    Continuing Education Centre (CEC) conducted a

    finishing school program for a period of 8 weeks in the

    summer vacations of 2008 during May 26–July 18, 2008

    on the initiatives of MHRD New Delhi. This year IIT

    Roorkee was given the responsibility to co-ordinate the

    Finishing School Program at National level. An

    orientation program for the participating Institutes was

    conducted during April 24 -25, 2008. MHRD has planned

    to organize the Finishing School Program in 24 National

    Institutes of the country.Around 18 engineering institutes/

    colleges and 2 industries participated in the orientation

    program at IIT Roorkee.

    The finishing school program at IIT Roorkee was

    organized under the coordinator-ship of Prof. Vinod

    Kumar, Head - CEC & Prof. B. K. Gandhi, Co-coordinator

    - CEC. A total of twenty eight students from AICTE

    recognized institutes have attended this program.

    Finishing School Program was designed for the

    engineers who have been recently graduated from

    various Engineering Institutes/Colleges and were looking

    for a suitable employment. The main objectives of this

    training was (i) to offer suitable candidates to IT industry

    and (ii) to help young graduates to find jobs by inculcating

    IT and soft skills components through appropriate

    training.

    During the Finishing School Programme, weekly

    feedbacks were taken from the students. Further

    students were given a feedback Proforma at the

    beginning and at the end of the programme to assess the

    value addition in their technical & soft skills. A test was

    conducted by the NASSCOM NAC-Tech (NASSCOM

    Assessment of Competence–Tech)–an employment

    benchmarking test for the participants at the end of the

    program.

    The overall assessment of the program shows that it
