Summer Internship Project
This manual gives guidelines, procedures and rules for the Summer Internship Project carried out
in undergraduate and post-graduate programmes.
Companies need to be invited by the Director-Placement and Training to the School of Business
(SOB), Galgotias University (GU) campus much before the Winter Semester End Examination
(SEE). Preferably we should encourage a stipendary Summer Internship Project (SIP). The
Summer Internship Project Report is to be carried out in the sponsoring organization when the
Winter Semester End Examination (ETE) is over and has to be completed by mid-July, i.e. the
beginning of the 3rd semester for the MBA. The duration of the training should be at least
four weeks or 30 days. The students can also choose the companies for their SIP. The SIP
should be arranged only by the Training and Placement Cell and the whole process should be
completed before the end of the Winter Semester. Each student must submit their SIP report to
their respective faculty mentor. The final report shall be submitted to the faculty mentor.
Students should appear for Viva without a miss as per the schedule given by the SIP coordinator.
**Please Note:
1. All students are expected to maintain decorum, courtesy, and decency during their
training period so that they create a good image of themselves and Galgotias University.
2. The student should work sincerely during the training period per the organization’s
directions. At no stage, there should be any complaint from the organization about their
work or behaviour.
