Each full time diploma course is on semester sandwich pattern and of four year's duration and incorporates two periods of 26 weeks each for inplant training. There are two semesters per year. The courses are thus spread over eight semesters. The students receive institutional training for the first five semesters. In the sixth semester they are sent to industry for inplant or field training. They return to the Polytechnic in the seventh semester for institutional training. In the concluding eight semester, they again receive inplant or field training. This scheme enables the students to learn under actual work situation during their training and improves their prospects for employment. Final diploma is awarded after satisfactory completion of training and examination at the end of the eighth semester.
