Very few institutes in India practically follow the idea of Industry-Institute linkage. IIIT-Nagpur is one of those few institutes which has made six months of last semester mandatory for internship in industry. Of course, getting internship in renowned industries is not an easy task. Students have to go through a tough test and face interview then only they get to do the internship. Students of IIIT-Nagpur getting a stipend of Rs 61,000 per month to Rs 2 lakh per month has become a regular feature.
The record of placement, too, is very meticulous. Its placement officer Prof Meera Jagdale keeps track on the institute’s student and guide the students studying accordingly, informed Prof K N Dakhale, Registrar.
