- 28 percent increase in number of companies that visited IIT Madras for Internship.
Prof P Murugavel, Advisor (Internship), IIT Madras, said: “A professional internship is an integral part of students’ careers where they get an opportunity to apply and fine-tune the skills they have learned. With companies shifting to an internship-based hiring model, it is also important for students to secure Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) through the internship program.”
