Field work inculcates a healthy environment for the students and they gain vast industrial exposure. The department has been networking with different industries, consultants, and NGOs for their field work experience and placements. The objective of the Interface was to Bridge the gap between the academia and field work agencies. Interface is an annual programme that helps in strengthening the ties with industries and strengthens the field work component through the sharing of field work experience and possible areas of collaboration.
