The diverse skill of the student pop- ulation and the extensive theoretical knowl- edge they have will definately make them as assest to any organisation. At IIT Bombay, we believe that Practical Training or Internship is an integral portion of a student’s overall de- velopment and we encourage students to take up projects in industry and academia so that they can be better prepared for their future careers. The Training Cell facilitates this by providing a convenient interface for the companies to interact with students they will be hiring at a later stage, something that can only be mutu- ally beneficial for both the student body and for industry. I wish the students, companies and universities participating in this process the very best of luck.
