Placement & Internship The department has valuable linkages with various government, developmental organizations including Non-Government organizations (NGOs) and bilateral organizations, media houses and even corporate organizations. With an endeavour to provide hands-on learning and refining professional skill set, the department facilitates internships for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Every year the post graduate students carry out their summer internships during the month of June- July in different development, media and corporate organisations. Later in the semester the students present their work experience and learning outcomes before the faculty and personnel from these organisations. Several organizations where our post graduate students have done internship in last few years are as follows:
