PURPOSE OF INDUSTRIAL VISIT

Industrial visit are integral and essential part of Professional studies. The work mechanism is

quite different from the theories studied in the books. To give insight of mechanism and

processes it is must for students that they should get live learning experience about industry.

Team work is more about we and not about me. It was good learning experience for student to

know about various processes from start to end. Students learnt about vitality of processes and

learnt about methods and mechanism followed. Student’s inquisitiveness leads to the basic

question of reengineering and quality control. In totality, it was life time learning experience to

newbie's of future India

The Post Graduate diploma in Information Management (PGDIM) course at XISS, Ranchi

provides proper education and training to the students to prepare themselves believes that

exposing the management students to actual business practices would enable them to test their

text book knowledge with industrial practices and develop the required necessary analytical

skills. It also familiarizes us with environment in which a business unit operates to perform

various activities and processes to accomplish the task and achieve business objectives. The

interaction of students with industry manager and other personnel help them understand the

management styles and the problems at operational level. 

 The visit was intended to expose the participants to the real universe where we would

see themselves in the near future. The exposure was an opportunity to first hand witness the

start-to-end processes in an industrial unit as well interact with the managers spearheading the

processes.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Industrial Visit is to help students gain first hand information regarding

functioning of the industry which presents the students with opportunities to plan, organize and

engage in active learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.

• To understand the process

• To experience chemistry at work

• To become aware of the role of different people in an organization

• To become aware of career opportunities

• To recognize the need for health and safety in the workplace

• To focus students on specific aspects of their studies.
