Training

B.P. Poddar Institute of Management & Technology through its structured and comprehensive training model has successfully transformed thousands of aspiring engineers to industry ready resources. The training model combines Aptitude (Numerical & Analytical), Technical and Behaviourial skills development as a part of regular academic activity from the beginning of the degree course. The program places intense focus on English and business communications skills that are essential in today’s global workplace. Industrial training offers the opportunity to students to have a first hand experience of the industry and its operational procedures.

Following is the brief of each module:

Numerical & Analytical Aptitude:

Analytical and numerical skills are essential for any job that requires critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making. Analytical aptitude of a student is gaining more importance with the change in technology and work process. While analytical skills are traditionally associated with math and numerical reasoning, they extend far beyond that. Analytical skills require the use of logic and reasoning in order to analyze situations and draw conclusions from that analysis. Students who possess these skills are more likely to learn quickly and improve over time in a role, which is why analytical skills are better than other skills at predicting long-term job success.

Programming & Coding Skills:

Programming and coding is no more considered as a specialised skill. It has become the bare minimum requirement for an engineering graduate to opt for employment in this era of Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence. All major tech companies aggressively compete to hire gifted young coders. Responding to the need BPPIMT has launched a module based online learning system for all students across streams, offering an evaluation based programming & coding skill development and enhancement platform which provides opportunity for students to practice on several assignments besides taking lecture and doubt clearing session from internal faculty members as well as industry experts.

Behaviourial Skills:

The objective of the program is to help students to deal with different situations diligently and responsibly in the workplace. The training in this area has two parts. One part involves developing attitude and attributes and the other part involves fine-tuning communication skills to express attitudes, ideas, and thoughts well. Since behaviors are recognized as a major contributor to one's success, we focus on developing a social and responsible human being who can successfully balance between his/her personal and professional needs.
