Sandip University, Nashik (SUN)
has recently signed a MoU with
AICTE-ECI to facilitate Internship
programme for the students. Tell us
how the university plans to take it
forward?
AICTE-ECI approach of signing a MoU with
the universities across India to facilitate
advancement of engineering, management and
pharmacy profession in various programmes and
for enhancing the style and image of building
engineers, managers and pharmacist etc., is a boon
to the nation-building exercise on Human Resource
Development. The move is historical in nature
which will bring a rich dividend in near future.
Sandip University, Nashik, a non-affiliating
private university functioning in the State of
Maharashtra, which is continuously improving
its infrastructure - will be used to hone the
knowledge and skills of our students. We follow
outcome-based education in teaching-learning
process. We emphasise on knowledge, skills and
attitude for all the courses taught. For every
course, teacher sets her/his objectives in an
achievable form. Hence, preaching and practicing
are carried out together to achieve the objectives
in the form of measurable outcomes.
This MoU will facilitate every student in their
respective domain to acquire necessary skills in
various industries/R&D organisations on a real-time
basis. Minds-on and Hands-on will make them ready
for Do-on by taking up their real-time challenges.
SUN and its regulations have made
compulsory internship in 15, 21, and 45 days
during the summer vacation after completing I, II
and III year programmes assigned with 1, 2 and 3
credits respectively. Besides summer internship,regular industrial/field/project visits are also
happening during the academic sessions. All
our programmes are aimed to develop industry/
society ready graduates.What are the initiatives Sandip
University has undertaken to foster
Student Startup ecosystem in the
affiliated colleges and university to
enhance students’ innovation?
Sandip University, Nashik has a vision to mould
our youngsters into Millennium leaders not only
in technological and scientific fields, but also to
nurture and strengthen the innate goodness and
human nature in them and to equip them to face the
future challenges in technological breakthroughs,
information explosions and deliver the bounties of
frontier knowledge for the benefit of humanity in
general, the downtrodden and the underprivileged
in particular.
We are committed to practice the vision of
the University. SUN is trying to be a creator of
world class educational service provider thereby
to transform the potential human resource of the
nation. Curricula have been designed to imbibe
research - bent in every course. The system is
developed in such a way that every student could
think and work independently, resulting ideas
leading to a product/process etc. Co-curricular
activities are focused towards social, economical,
political orientation - thus encouraging students
either by individual/groups to take up such life-
oriented problems.
Nashik has a rich treasure of having Maharashtra
Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) in seven
locations of Nashik District, covering Automobile,
Energy, Electrical, Infrastructure and Infotech
