Internships are valuable educational and career development opportunities that provide practical experience in a specific field or discipline. They expose students to the industrial environment and offer opportunities to learn, understand, and enhance real-time technical and managerial skills required in professional settings. Internships also help students recognize the responsibilities and ethical practices expected from engineers. Moreover, they serve as an important gateway to employment.
At Vishwakarma Institute of Technology internship program is an integral part of their academic development. As per the academic curriculum, students are required to undergo a semester-long internship during the final year of engineering, enabling them to gain hands-on industry experience and better prepare for their professional careers.
A few of the companies where our students have completed internships are listed below:
