Dear Subodh,
As per as salary or wage is concerned it is purely in the discretion of the company policy. If it is not included in ur sclaes then we should go through the Minimum Wages Act and fix the salary / stipend.

Hi,
The stipend differs from company to company and the training period is one year .
You can fix the stipend by comparing the industry std of your company or by the Minimum wages act.
But the amount by Minimum wages at is really very low.
