The internship programme can best be described as an attempt to institutionalize efforts to bridge the gap between the professional world and the academic institutions. Non Teaching Credit Courses (NTCCs) have proved to be great tools to achieve the objectives of student centric learning. These facets can only be learned through direct. on-the-job experience working with successful professionals and experts in the field. Entire effort in NTCCs is in terms of extending the program of education and evaluation beyond the classroom/laboratory of a university or institution. Following are attributes of Non-Teaching Credit Courses (NTCCs): NTCCs are part of Programme Structure and are compulsory have credit units assigned to them not conducted as regular class lecture. lab practical or tutorial are self exploratory / application oriented /field work oriented in nature are done under the supervision/guidance of faculty guide and/or external guide depending upon the place of course being undertaken conducted during the summer break or during the semester allows students to pursue their area of interest to greater depth help students to relate theory to actual practice in the industry help students to be innovative. INTRODUCTION The academic philosophy of Amity University revolves around student centric learning. It inspires and gives the chance to the student to operate. other research labs or universities in India and abroad. 2. creative and through independent study The courses are conducted either at institution.1. so that he/she could train himself to be independent and develop oneself to be a good professional. . manage and monitor his/her own learning process under the supervision and the guidance of a faculty supervisor. which takes into consideration their varied learning needs and significantly accelerates their retention of both knowledge and skills. industry. OBJECTIVES OF NON TEACHING CREDIT COURSE: There are certain phases of every student’s professional development that cannot be effectively taught in the academic environment. Industry. Field Work: Fieldwork provides an opportunity to students to integrate theory and practice from courses to an organizational context. The learning process in the NTCC seeks out and focuses attention on many latent attributes. They are generally intended to describe an event. research. Intellectual ability. This opportunity to observe. Research and its importance in experiential learning through NTCC. design projects etc. It also helps the students to decide the area of specialization or career path. and perform independently in a supportive environment is especially useful for students without previous experience in the field. These experiential learning attributes through NTCC include: – – – – – – – – 3. practical experience. Summer Internship/Industry Internship: Summer internship / industry Internship programme is an integral part of the academic curriculum of most of the programmes. Sense of responsibility Developing professional Skills Application of theory. applying the theoretical knowledge to a real life situation. Experiential Learning outside classroom through self exploration. field experience. participate. Seminar: A Seminar is an important component of learning in a programme where the student learns to prepare a report and presentation on a particular topic. select and use a range of methodologies and tools to the Chosen/Given project. This enables the students to explore an industry/organistion. build a relationship with a . Inter-disciplinary approach. Skills for data handling. concepts in given industry /practical / field scenario TYPES OF NON TEACHING CREDIT COURSES Various types of NTCCs include Term Paper: A 'term paper' is a research paper written by students during a specified semester or summer break. a topic.

Research: Research is an integral part of any NTCC. In-house Practical Training: In-house Practical training is mainly for technical programme. However. in some cases this period could be extended. It also provides a platform to demonstrate ability to draw appropriate conclusions argued from the evidence presented and also a forum to demonstrate the skills of structuring and present a balanced informed. Research can generally be classified by Purpose or by Method or by Source of Data. Research by Method: – deductive research and – inductive research. clear and concise written argument.

Dissertation: A substantial. which demonstrates scholarship at an appropriate level and in an area relevant to the chosen degree of the student. The objective of this training is to provide the students with sufficient skills to meet the practical requirements of the course in-house (within Department/Institution/Faculty) and to develop design and experimental skills. critical analysis and concept synthesis necessary for formation of defensible conclusions. Major Project: Major Paper/Project is a scholarly essay/research project/design project that shows evidence of critical analysis and understanding of the topic. sustained and independent exercise in research or scholarship produced by an individual student involving substantial data collection in the field and/or the laboratory with the work presented as a written report.
