§1 — First Login
Getting into your student portal for the first time
1
Receive Your Internship ID
After your college submits your enrollment form, the admin creates your account. You receive an official email at the address you registered with, containing your Internship ID and your portal URL.
💡
Check your spam/junk folder if you don't see the email within 24 hours of enrollment. Your Internship ID looks like PP360-BNMU-2025-0042.
2
Open the Portal
Go to pp360ai.com/login on any browser — Chrome or Firefox recommended. The platform works on both mobile and desktop.
3
Enter Your Credentials
Use the email address you enrolled with. Your default password is your first name (as in your enrollment form) with a capital first letter, followed by @1234.

Examples: Name is Anjali Kumari → password is Anjali@1234
Name is Rahul Kumar Singh → password is Rahul@1234
Name has Dr./Mr./Mrs. prefix (e.g. Dr. Priya) → password is Priya@1234
⚠️
Your password is fixed in this format. You cannot change it — this keeps your account secure. If you ever click "Forgot Password," you will be reminded of this format. Contact your trainer or admin only if you're still locked out.
4
You're In — Update Your Profile Photo
After logging in you land on the Student Hub. Tap the profile circle at the top-left to upload your photo. A clear, professional headshot is required for your certificate and logbook.
✅
Add your photo on Day 1. The certificate PDF will use this image — a missing or blurry photo cannot be fixed after the batch ends.
🏠
§2 — Student Portal Overview
Know your workspace
What you'll see on your Student Hub
A
Sidebar Navigation
On the left (or hamburger menu on mobile) — quick links to Dashboard, AI Labs, Live Sessions, Progress, Logbook, and Notifications. Use this to switch between areas of the platform.
B
Session Timer (Top of Page)
The live timer shows your active session hours for the day — updated automatically as you work. No button needs to be pressed. It reflects your real engagement time on the platform.
C
Progress Cards
See your total hours completed, percentage progress toward the 120-hour goal, remaining balance, and today's session hours — all updated in real time.
D
Notifications Bell
Important messages from your trainer and admin appear here — live session invites, lab feedback, announcements. Check it daily.
E
Live Banner
When your trainer is hosting a live session, a green glowing banner appears at the top. Click it immediately to join — live attendance counts toward your hours.
📍
§3 — Daily Attendance & Session Tracking
Attendance is automatic — the system records your hours when you are logged in and active
How Automated Attendance Works
You do not press any button — the platform tracks your presence automatically
🔐

💻
Do Lab Work
✅
Hours Recorded
The system records your active time automatically. Stay logged in and engaged — do not idle.
1
Log In to the Student Portal
Open the portal at the start of each lab day and log in with your credentials. Your attendance tracking begins automatically the moment you are logged in and active on the platform. There is no button to press.
💡
Log in only from the lab or campus. The system records your login time and activity — your trainer can see when and where you were active.
2
Stay Active — Work on Your Lab Modules
The system counts hours while you are actively engaged — reading theory, watching demo videos, attempting quizzes, or submitting practice work. Idle time (leaving the tab open without doing anything) does not count as active attendance.
⚠️
Do not leave the browser open and walk away. Active engagement is tracked. Only hours with genuine activity are counted toward your 120-hour requirement.
3
Attendance Is Verified by Your Trainer
Your trainer reviews daily attendance records on the admin side. They can see your login times, activity duration, and module progress. No manual sign-in sheet is needed — the platform is your attendance record.
ℹ️
If you had a genuine lab session but your hours appear missing, report it to your trainer the same day — the trainer can verify and correct it from their dashboard.
4
Check Your Progress Dashboard Daily
Your Student Hub shows your total hours completed, today's hours, and balance remaining toward 120 hours — updated in real time. Check this every day to make sure your attendance is being recorded correctly.
💡
If the progress card shows fewer hours than expected after a full day in the lab, contact your trainer immediately — same-day corrections are much easier.
5
Live Session Attendance Is Separate
When your trainer runs a live session, you must explicitly tap "Mark Attendance" inside the live session screen. Live attendance is a separate record from daily lab hours — both count toward your overall assessment. See §5 for details.
🚫 Things That Will NOT Count as Attendance
Logging in from home Leaving tab open while idle Sharing login credentials Using VPN / fake location Multiple accounts Logging in for another student
Any of the above may result in attendance being not counted or invalidated. Repeated violations are reported to your college.

Project
You must complete each step in order. A step unlocks only after the previous one is finished.
1
LEARN — Theory & Concepts
Read the theory content for the module. This is your conceptual foundation — AI basics, the topic being covered (e.g., Prompt Engineering, Computer Vision, NLP), and how it connects to real-world applications. Read carefully — the quiz in Step 4 is based on this content.
💡
Use the Hindi translate button (bottom-right corner) if you prefer to read in Hindi. The translation preserves all technical terms.
2
STUDY MATERIALS — PDF & Reference Docs
Download and study the supplementary materials provided — slides, PDF guides, datasets, or external reading links. These go deeper than the theory content and are important for your project submission in Step 7.
ℹ️
Save these PDFs offline on your device. You may need them during the Day 2 workshop when internet access may be limited.
3
OBSERVE DEMO — Watch the AI in Action
Watch the trainer demonstration video (or live demo link). This shows you exactly how to implement the concept — which tools to use, what the output looks like, and common pitfalls to avoid. Do not skip this step — the practice in Step 5 mirrors the demo exactly.
💡
Watch the demo at least twice — once to understand the overall flow, and once while making notes of each action the trainer takes.
4
ASSESSMENT / QUIZ — Test Your Understanding
Answer the multiple-choice quiz for this module. Questions are based on the theory (Step 1) and demo (Step 3). You get one attempt for the scored quiz — read all questions carefully before answering. There may be a practice quiz you can attempt unlimited times to prepare.
⚠️
Quiz marks count toward your final grade (20 marks total across all modules). Do not guess randomly — study Steps 1 and 3 first. You cannot re-attempt the scored quiz once submitted.
5
PRACTICE — Hands-on Exercise
This is where you actually do the task yourself. Follow the instructions to complete a practical AI exercise — running a model, writing prompts, annotating data, building a small pipeline, etc. Your trainer can see your progress and submission. Screenshots or outputs may be required as evidence.
💡
If you get stuck, re-watch the demo (Step 3). The demo shows the exact steps — just follow along.
6
DAY 2 WORKSHOP — Group & Extended Practice
This is the second day of the module — a deeper workshop session. You will collaborate with batchmates, tackle a more complex problem, or extend your Day 1 practice into a full mini-project. The trainer guides this session live. Attendance is mandatory for workshop day.
ℹ️
Workshop completion unlocks the final Submit step. Do not skip Day 2 — module completion requires both days.
7
PROJECT SUBMIT — Final Submission
Upload your final project output for the module — this could be a PDF report, a code file, screenshots, a dataset, or a link to your completed work. Write a brief description of what you built and what you learned. After submission, your trainer reviews and marks it. All modules must be submitted to qualify for the certificate.
✅
A submitted module shows a green checkmark on your dashboard. Track your completion rate in the Progress section.

§5 — Live Sessions & Mentoring
Real-time sessions with your trainer — don't miss these
1
Watch for the Live Banner
When your trainer starts a live session, a glowing green banner appears at the top of your Student Hub automatically. It shows the session title, trainer name, and a "Join Now" button. Tap it immediately.
2
Mark Live Session Attendance
After joining, click "Mark Attendance" in the live session interface. This records your presence separately from the daily session timer. Both your session hours AND live attendance are tracked.
⚠️
Joining the video call is NOT enough — you must also press "Mark Attendance" inside the PP360 portal. These are two separate actions.
3
Participate Actively
Live sessions include Q&A, demonstrations, doubt-clearing, and assessments. Trainers note participation levels — active engagement positively impacts your viva marks (50 marks from viva/evaluation). Keep your camera on if possible and ask questions.
4
Check Notifications for Session Alerts
Your trainer may also send notifications before a live session. Check the bell icon daily. Sessions can also be scheduled in advance — upcoming sessions show in your dashboard's session schedule card.
💡
Turn on browser notifications for the portal so you don't miss live session alerts when your screen is off.

🎓
§7 — Certificate & Future Opportunities
What you earn at the end of 120 hours
1
Complete 120 Hours of Sessions
The most important requirement. Your progress bar on the dashboard shows exactly how many hours you've completed toward the 120-hour goal. No partial certificates — you need all 120 hours.
2
Submit All Lab Modules
Every AI Lab module must have a final submission (Step 7 of the pipeline). Incomplete modules block certificate generation even if you have 120 hours.
3
Pass the Viva
Your trainer conducts a brief viva / oral evaluation covering what you've learned. This is informal — just talk about your projects and what AI concepts you understood. The viva is typically conducted in the final week of the batch.
4
Download Your Certificate
After the admin marks your batch as complete, a "Download Certificate" button appears in your Student Hub. The PDF certificate includes your name, Internship ID, college, grade, duration, and digital verification QR code. It is also emailed to you.
✅
Your certificate is digitally signed and verifiable. Employers can scan the QR code to confirm its authenticity.
5
Resume Maker & Talent Showcase
Use the platform's built-in Resume Maker (top-right menu) to generate a professional resume that automatically includes your internship, projects, and skills. Your profile may also be featured on the PP360 Talent Showcase — visible to partner companies and recruiters.

§8 — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common doubts from students
My hours look less than what I actually worked today. What do I do? ▼
Attendance is recorded automatically based on your activity on the platform. If your hours appear low, possible reasons are: you were idle for a long period, there was a connectivity issue, or you logged in late. Report it to your trainer the same day — explain what you were doing and how long you were in the lab. The trainer can verify from the activity log and request a correction from the admin. Same-day corrections are much easier than next-day requests.
My password doesn't work. What is it exactly? ▼
Your password is Firstname@1234 — exactly as follows:

1. Take only the first word of your name (ignore Dr., Mr., Mrs., Prof. if present)
2. Capitalize the first letter, lowercase the rest
3. Add @1234 at the end — no spaces

Example: Dr. Anjali Kumari → Anjali@1234
Example: Mohammad Irfan → Mohammad@1234

If this still doesn't work, your email address may be wrong. Contact your trainer with your Internship ID.
Can I complete hours from home / on my phone? ▼
The platform is accessible from any device, but attendance sessions are expected to be started from the lab or college premises. GPS verification records your location. Hours started from home or unknown locations may be flagged by the trainer and not counted. Some activities like reading study materials or watching demo videos outside lab hours may be allowed — ask your trainer for your batch's specific rules.
I missed a day. Can I make up the hours? ▼
Missed days may be compensated on other days if your batch schedule allows. Talk to your trainer — some batches permit extra sessions on weekends. However, the total 120 hours must be completed before your batch end date. There are no extensions after the batch closes.
I failed a quiz. Can I retake it? ▼
The scored quiz allows only one attempt — your score is final. However, there is usually an unscored practice quiz you can take unlimited times to prepare before attempting the scored one. Always do the practice quiz first. If there is a technical issue during your quiz attempt, contact your trainer immediately (before leaving the lab) — they can request an admin reset.
The GPS keeps showing "Waiting…" — what do I do? ▼
Try these steps in order:
1. Allow location access — check browser settings (padlock icon in address bar → Location → Allow)
2. Move near a window or go outside briefly, then return
3. Reload the page and try starting the session again
4. If using Chrome on Android, go to Settings → Site Settings → Location → Allow for this site
5. If GPS consistently fails in the lab building, inform your trainer — they may need to report the venue GPS issue to the admin.
How do I change my profile photo? ▼
On the Student Hub, tap the circular profile area at the top-left of the page. An upload prompt will appear. Choose a clear, well-lit photo of your face (headshot style). Supported formats: JPG, PNG. Maximum size: ~2MB. The photo is used on your certificate and logbook — make it professional.
When will I get my certificate? ▼
After your batch is officially closed by the admin (typically within 1–2 weeks after the last session), a Download Certificate button appears on your Student Hub. You will also receive it by email. Make sure your profile photo is uploaded and all modules are submitted before the batch end date — these cannot be changed after the batch closes.
My name is spelled wrong on the platform. How do I fix it? ▼
Contact your trainer immediately with your Internship ID and a photo of your college ID card showing the correct spelling. The admin can correct the name in the system. Do this as early as possible — name corrections are not possible once the certificate batch is finalized and certificates are generated.
Can I translate the platform to Hindi? ▼
Yes. Tap the 🇮🇳 हिंदी button at the bottom-right corner of any page. The entire page will reload in Hindi. Tap it again (it will show IN हिंदी ✓) to switch back to English. The translation uses Google Translate and works across all pages. Technical terms (AI, ML, etc.) remain in English automatically.
