ON JOB TRAINING(OJT)
Credit: 3 Max. Marks: 100
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. When to Carry out?
On-the-Job Training (OJT) programs are carried out after the completion of Semester I or during a break
between academic terms i.e. The break between Semester I and Semester II provides an ideal timeframe for a
dedicated OJT program. Students can focus solely on their OJT without the demands of regular coursework.
It is essential for a college or educational institution should provide a formal letter to students in the mid
of semester I so that he/she can apply by specifying the requirement to carry out On-the-Job Training (OJT) in the
name of a company. This letter serves as an official communication and outlines important details related to the
OJT program. A student may contact the company for OJT.
The evaluation of OJT will be held at the end of semester II, though it is a continuous process till
semester IV where students will implement what they have learned in the final project i.e. Preparing the basic
background about the computer project during Semester 2 for execution in Semester 4 can greatly contribute to a
successful and well-structured On-the-Job Training (OJT) experience.

2. Where to Carry-out?
A list of potential places where On-the-Job Training (OJT) can be carried out by the students:
• Software Development Companies
• Tech Startups
• IT Consulting Firms
On-the-Job Training (OJT) can be carried out in a company, having a GST registration, or falls under the
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) category.

3. A Basic guideline to help students and educators effectively plan and lay the groundwork for OJT is given below:
• Understanding the Project Scope:
▪ In Semester 2, students should receive an overview of the OJT program and understand the scope
of the project they will undertake in Semester 4. Clearly define the problem statement and
objectives of the project.
• Selecting Project Topics:
▪ Allow students to propose project topics aligned with their interests and career aspirations. This
can help increase their motivation and engagement in the OJT program. A Max. of two students
can work on the same topic.
• Preparing Literature Review:
▪ Encourage students to conduct a literature review during Semester 2. This involves researching
existing solutions and technologies related to the project topic. It will help them understand the
state-of-the-art and identify potential areas of innovation for their project.
• Identifying Tools and Technologies:
▪ In Semester 2, students should explore and become familiar with the tools, programming
languages, and technologies relevant to their chosen project. This will give them a head start
when they begin the implementation phase in Semester 4.
• Project Proposal:
▪ By the end of Semester 2, students should prepare a detailed project proposal. It should include
the problem description, research objectives, proposed solution, methodology, and a timeline for
implementation in Semester 4.
• Mentor Assignment:
▪ During Semester 2, assign mentors or supervisors to each student based on their project topic and
area of expertise. The mentors can provide guidance and support throughout the OJT journey.
M.Sc. (Computer Science) Sem - I & II (NEP 2020), Gondwana University, Gadchiroli 35
 • Setting Milestones:
▪ Define key milestones and deliverables for the project to be achieved in Semester 4. This helps in
tracking progress and ensuring that the project stays on schedule.
• Ethical Considerations:
▪ Discuss ethical considerations, such as data privacy, intellectual property, and code plagiarism,
with students to ensure responsible and ethical conduct throughout the project.
• Resource Availability:
▪ In Semester 2, assess the resources required for the project's successful implementation in
Semester 4. This includes hardware, software, datasets, and access to any external resources or
APIs.
• Preparing a Work Plan:
▪ A student should create a detailed work plan for Semester 4. This plan should outline the tasks,
activities, and deadlines for each phase of the project.
• Communication and Documentation:
▪ Emphasize the importance of clear communication and thorough documentation throughout the
OJT program. Encourage students to maintain regular progress reports and update their mentors
on their work. Finally, a final report of OJT should be submitted by the students before the
commencement of the semester II examination.
• Certificate:
▪ Students who undergo On-the-Job Training (OJT) should submit the certificate of completion to
their College/Department. The certificate serves as proof that the students have completed the
OJT program in the company and fulfilled the requirements set by the college or University.
4. Evaluation
During the evaluation, the examiner must check the following points and assign the marks,
• Clear and measurable learning objectives for the evaluation.
• Utilize a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessment methods.
• Assess project outcomes, deliverables, and the application of learned skills.
• Evaluate technical proficiency, problem-solving abilities, and creativity.
• Consider students' communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills.
An evaluator may Provide constructive feedback to students for improvement and growth. An external
examiner will follow the following table while allocating the Marks out of 75. The internal examiner will
allocate the 25 marks in proportion.
Sr No Points Marks Remarks
1 Project 25 Evaluate students' technical skills and proficiency in applying their
Outcomes and theoretical knowledge to real-world tasks during the OJT.
Deliverables
2 Problem- 10 Measure their ability to solve complex problems, think critically, and
Solving and demonstrate creativity in finding innovative solutions.
Creativity
3 Communication 10 Evaluate students' communication skills, how well they interact within a
and group, and their ability to work collaboratively.
Collaboration
4 Project 15 Assess the completeness and quality of project documentation, such as
Documentation design documents, technical specifications, and user guides.
5 Presentation 15 Consider the effective use of visual aids, such as slides, charts, and
multimedia, to enhance the presentation.
Total 75
Note: A project must be guided by regular faculty having Ph.D. If the department does not have any faculty with Ph.D.
degrees, then a synopsis of such students must be approved by the college/department from the subject faculty of adjacent
colleges having Ph.D. Degree faculty and same should work as an internal practical examiners organized by University.
