experience to the students and will be a very effective training
program. Students will be provided first-hand exposure in the

per month, while the Masters pursuing students will receive Rs 15,000.

road designs, construction and mechanical processing of roads. This will
help students learn teamwork in various other departments including
Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical. A six-month-long internship would
earn 18 credits. One credit would require them to put in 30 hours of
practical training.
The
internship in courses like civil engineering is very important for the
students to understand the actual possibilities of working in the field.
