FAQs
What is the difference between an industrial training report and an internship report?
They follow the same structure. Industrial training reports, common in diploma courses, focus more on the plant, equipment and processes. Internship reports, common in degree courses, focus more on the project or role you handled.
Should I include the daily diary inside the report?
Yes, usually as an annexure at the end, or as a separate bound diary if your institute issues a printed one.
Can two students submit the same report if they trained together?
No. Company details may overlap, but your tasks, diary and experiences must be your own.
