·         Pre-Internship-Process Based Skill Enhancement will require the student-teachers to practice the selected teaching skills in small components within the institution under the guidance and counseling of the teacher-educators

·         The entire lot of such student-teachers will be divided into small groups, consisting of 10 members each

·         The teacher-educator will first demonstrate a skill and ask the student-teachers to observe, reflect and critically comment on the presentation

·         Then, each student will perform on the same skill. While one performs, others will observe, reflect and critically comment on the presentation

·         The process will be repeated in other four skills also

·         During this process-based-skill-enhancement-activities, the student-teachers will be assessed continuously and comprehensively as per the guidelines, given

·         For external evaluation, evaluators will be required to evaluate as per the guidelines given.
