❖ A brief overview of the project
The first project revolved around ensuring that we can
utilize maximize percentage of carrying capacity of a
transportation vehicle for Solid Petrochemicals across
all manufacturing plants in the country and reduce the
dead freight to an optimum minimum value without
compromising other factors such as safety of both
vehicle and goods. Second Project required me to
develop a penalty waiver system to prevent a
transporter from being wrongly penalized by the
company.

❖ How is the normal day at the internship?
The day used to start with a meeting with the tram I was
RAHUL PATHAK
part of at 10:00 am for the same I used to reach office by
RIL 9:15 am and prepare myself for the meet. The meet used to

__________________________________________ last for half an hour later to which I used to start working on
the project as per the plan. I used to break for lunch around
GENERAL INFORMATION 01:00 PM and used to spend an hour finishing my lunch
with other co interns discussing about different things. After
Batch: PGDIE 48 lunch I used to get back to work and then again break for
tea around 5:00 PM. Used to have the tea with few other
BTech: Dwarakdas J Sanghvi people in the team where we talked about things other
than work. After tea again used to work another hour and
Stream: Mechanical half later to which I used to meet my manager to brief him

about they days’ work. Once the meeting concluded I used
Work Ex: Fresher
to call it a day and leave the office around 8:00 PM.

❖ What are the challenges faced during Internship?

During the 2 months of internship one tends to learn a lot but that leaning comes from the challenges one

faces. I being a fresher didn't know what to expect when I first joined as an intern. One of the biggest
challenges you face is getting time form other people i.e people from your team people working in

another team or your Manager. All of them are generally occupied with tons of work hence it is a bit

difficult on their part to give you time. So it is important to utilize the time they spend with you wisely.

❖ What did you do right and what did you do wrong?

The thing that I did right in my opinion was that I ensured that me and my manager both are always on the
same page during the span of 2 months. I ensured that I had a clear picture about what my manager
expected me to deliver. One thing that I think I could do better was interacting more with my co interns,
though I had regular interaction with them yet I personally felt that I couldn't have learned more form
other co interns.
