PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICES (No Theory exam)
2 - 2 - - - - 50 50
The assessment of term work marks is Internal.
RATIONALE :
The objective of most diploma programmes is to produce skilled technicians who can
efficiently meet industry requirements. Due to globalization and competition in the
industrial and service sectors, generally the selection procedure for the job is based on
campus interviews or competitive tests. While selecting candidates the normal practice
adopted is to scrutinize the general level of confidence, ability to communicate and
attitude, in addition to knowledge of basic technological concepts.
The purpose of introducing Professional Practices, which comes under the Foundation
group, is to provide an opportunity to students to undergo activities which will enable
them to develop confidence to be able to work effectively in a professional environment.
Industrial visits, expert lectures, seminars on technical topics and group discussions are
the activities in the planned schedule of this subject.

RATIONALE : The study of English Language is categorized under the Foundation group. As a
language, students have studied English language through their school life, at least as a
subject, if they are not from English medium. After some revision of some rules of
grammar, this subject attempts to bring about the learning of various aspects of the
English Language through practice with numerous examples and comprehension
exercises. The practical sessions in the English Language Lab with the Orell Interactive
English Software, help in assisting the students in quick learning of grammar, vocabulary
and also spoken English. Thus the target of this subject is to inculcate a greater amount of
effectiveness in the manner of using the English Language in formal, informal and social
situations. The syllabus covered during the lecture hours has a direct reference to the
MSBTE syllabus.
OBJECTIVES: 1. Comprehend the given passage
