Question

Ranvir Pathak · Accepted Answer

So, PS1 at BITS Pilani is basically where you get your first real taste of industry life. It's designed to bridge the gap between what you learn in class and what actually happens in the workplace.

Here's the deal:

Why it matters: PS1 helps you use your knowledge in real situations, prepping you for the professional world.
How it works: It’s all about hands-on experience. You'll work on actual projects under the guidance of industry experts and BITS faculty.
When it happens: PS1 usually takes place in the summer after your second year.
What to expect: You'll get assigned a PS station, get introduced to the program, and then dive into observing and understanding the processes. You might even have to give presentations and write reports.
Evaluation: There's a mid-term and an end-term evaluation to check your progress.

For example, a friend did his PS1 at the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai. They visited different workshops, noted down processes, and got a solid understanding of train manufacturing. He got decent marks and found it a valuable experience.

It's a Question about your future!
