AGC AIMS FOR HOLISTIC STUDENT LEARNING ALONG WITH INDUSTRIAL
Industrial visits are an essential part of the academic curriculum in most of the Graduate and Post-graduate courses to provide students an insight regarding internal working of companies. Being a part of interactive learning, such educational visits give students a major exposure to real working environments along with a practical perspective of a theoretical concept relevant to their domain. As we know, theoretical knowledge is not enough for making a good professional career. With an aim to go beyond academics, industrial visit provides students a practical perspective on the world of work. In addition to that, industrial visits bridge the widening gap between theoretical learning and practical exposure by giving students first-hand exposure to identify the inputs and outputs for different business operations and processes performed at the workplace.
At Amritsar Group of Colleges, we believe that the bright students are the key drivers of the nation’s growth engine and nurturing their talent with the best theoretical knowledge as well as practical orientation is the core responsibility of the college. Intending to go beyond classroom learning, the industrial tours contribute a lot in holistic student development by letting students learn about the current trends in the market, the future scenario of the industry and the new technologies that are being applied in the industry.
