Internships are educational and career development opportunities, providing practical experience in a field. Employers are looking for employees who are properly skilled and have awareness of the industry environment, practices, and culture. The internship is structured, short-term, supervised training often focused on particular tasks or projects with defined time scales.

The core objective is to expose technical students to the industrial environment, which cannot be simulated/experienced in the classroom and hence creating competent professionals in the industry and understanding the social, economic, and administrative considerations that influence the working environment of industrial organizations.
