Industrial visit is considered one of the tactical methods of teaching. The main reason behind this- it lets students know things practically through interaction, working methods, and employment practices.
Moreover, it gives exposure from an academic point of view. The main aim of the industrial visit is to provide exposure to students to the practical working environment. They also provide students with a good opportunity to gain full awareness of industrial practices. Through the industrial visits, students get awareness about new technologies. Technology development is a main factor, about which students should have good knowledge. Visiting different companies actually help students to build good relationship with those companies. We know building relationships with companies always will always help to gain a good job in the future. After visiting an industry students can gain a combined knowledge of both theory and practical. Students will be more concerned about earning a job after having an industrial visit.
