AIM OF THE COURSE

The purpose of this skill enhancing (Training) core paper is to bridge the theoretical
fundamentals with that of actual practice and to inculcate a spirit of inquiry & research rigor to
investigate the shades that go into the working place. Apart from adapting as team investigation,
students are expected to gather, filter the required information and prepare the report in a standardized
format of the case.
PROCESS
Colleges are encouraged to institute MoU/ collaborative initiative with firms
organizations/Government agencies in their juristic / state to get the consent and to make the
training more purposeful. Every student should do the internship in a group manner not
exceeding five, shall undergo a 30 days training in any police station [city, location to be
specified by the respective college] of his/her choice during the vacation between 2 nd& 3rd
semester. In case of insufficient vacation, college level adjustments can be made to facilitate the
student’s on training. Prior permission may be obtained from the organization in advance by the
students concerned and information shall be passed onto the colleges thus enabling the training
supervision by the concerned faculties authorized by the college. Weekly electronic reporting
should be obtained to ensure coherent and comprehensive training during the training period.

A final report [Institutional Training Record – ITR] contains the following things.

1. Crime basic details [person details, location mention in xxxxx, yyyy format]
2. Evidence [which found in the crime spot]
3. Methodology [procedure adopting to prove the evidence]
4. Questionnaire preparation [for investigation]

The report shall be prepared not exceeding 30 [A4] pages [pre-printed record designed for
this purpose].

INTERNAL PROCEDURE
 Compliance of the procedure (permission seeking from college and police station,
 informing in advance, weekly reporting and ITR submission) 15 marks
 Structure and weekly review of ITR 10 marks

EVALUATION PROCEDURE
 There shall be a university-approved comprehensive viva-voce examination at the end of
third semester. Students shall maintain a [Institutional Training Record – ITR]
individually for the purpose of the oral examinations.
 ITR shall also be evaluated jointly internal with an external examiner during the viva-
voce examination.
 The total mark of 50 for the skill enhancing internship core subjects shall be divided
between internal and external evaluations and it is 25 and 25 marks respectively.

AIM OF THE COURSE

 The purpose of this skill enhancing (Training) core paper is to bridge the theoretical
fundamentals with that of actual practice and to inculcate a spirit of inquiry & research rigor to
investigate the shades that go into the working place. Apart from adapting as team investigation,
students are expected to gather, filter the required information and prepare the report in a standardized
format of the case.
PROCESS
Colleges are encouraged to institute MoU/ collaborative initiative with firms organization
/ government agencies in their juristic / state to get the consent and to make the training more
purposeful. Every student should do the internship in a group manner not exceeding five, shall
undergo a 30 days training in any police station [city, location to be specified by the respective
college] of his/her choice during the vacation between 4 nd& 5rd semester. In case of insufficient
vacation, college level adjustments can be made to facilitate the student’s on training. Prior
permission may be obtained from the organization in advance by the students concerned and
information shall be passed onto the colleges thus enabling the training supervision by the
concerned faculties authorized by the college. Weekly electronic reporting should be obtained to
ensure coherent and comprehensive training during the training period.

A final report [Institutional Training Record – ITR] contains the following things.
1. Crime basic details [person details, location mention in xxxxx, yyyy format]
2. Evidence [which found in the crime spot]
3. Methodology [procedure adopting to prove the evidence]
4. Questionnaire preparation [for investigation]

The report shall be prepared not exceeding 30 [A4] pages [pre-printed record designed for
this purpose].
INTERNAL PROCEDURE
 Compliance of the procedure (permission seeking from college and police station,
informing in advance, weekly reporting and ITR submission) 15 marks
 Structure and weekly review of ITR 10 marks
EVALUATION PROCEDURE
 There shall be a university-approved comprehensive viva-voce examination at the end of
fifth semester. Students shall maintain a [Institutional Training Record – ITR] individually
for the purpose of the oral examinations.
 ITR shall also be evaluated jointly internal with an external examiner during the viva-
 voce examination.
 The total mark of 50 for the skill enhancing internship core subjects shall be divided
between internal and external evaluations and it is 25 and 25 marks respectively.

AIM OF THE COURSE

The purpose of this field visit (core paper) is to bridge the theoretical fundamentals with that of
actual practice and to inculcate a spirit of inquiry & research rigor to investigate the shades that go into
the working place. Apart from adapting as team investigation, students are expected to gather, filter
the required information and prepare the report in a standardized format of the case.
PROCESS
Colleges are encouraged to institute MoU/ collaborative initiative with
firmsorganization/ government agencies in their juristic / state to get the consent and to make
the crime spot visit more purposeful. Every student should do the file visit in a group manner
not exceeding five, shall undergo a 2 hours per a week in any police station [city, location to be
specified by the respective college] of his/her choice during 6th semester. In case of insufficient
hours, college level adjustments can be made to facilitate the student’s on training. Prior
permission may be obtained from the organization in advance by the students concerned and
 information shall be passed onto the colleges thus enabling the training supervision by the
concerned faculties authorized by the college. Monthly electronic reporting should be obtained
to ensure coherent and comprehensive in the progression of the field visit.

A final report [Field Visit Record – FVR] contains the following things.

1. Crime basic details [person details, location mention in xxxxx, yyyy format]
2. Evidence [which found in the crime spot]
3. Methodology [procedure adopting to prove the evidence]
4. Questionnaire preparation [for investigation]

The report shall be prepared not exceeding 30 [A4] pages [pre-printed record designed for
this purpose].

INTERNAL PROCEDURE
 Compliance of the procedure (permission seeking from college and police station,
informing in advance, monthly reporting and FVR submission) 15 marks
 Structure and Monthly review of FVR 10 marks

EVALUATION PROCEDURE
 There shall be a university-approved comprehensive viva-voce examination at the end of
fifth semester. Students shall maintain a [Field Visit Record – ITR] individually for the
purpose of the oral examinations.
 FVR shall also be evaluated jointly internal with an external examiner during the viva-
voce examination.
 The total mark of 50 for the skill enhancing field visit (core subjects)shall be divided
between internal and external evaluations and it is 25 and 25 marks respectively.
