In this training, students will have to study a problem in industrial perspective and submit the reports to the university. Such in-plant trainings will provide an industrial exposure to the students as well as to develop their career in the industrial requirements.

The student will opt only one In- plant training module among the four modules of four different departments and will be trained in those institutes related to their opted module.

RAWE (Rural Agricultural Work experience)
