About Internship Program

● The main objective of this program is to encourage the bright and well-motivated students of self and different institutions to pursue innovative research and development of project work.

● This enables the trainees to gain first-hand knowledge, especially working skills with design tools & techniques frequently used in Clinical, Pharma & Microbiology based industry.

Advantages

● It helps the students develop skills and employability competencies.

● It provides an opportunity for students to apply theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom with practical application of knowledge required to perform a task.

● It gives them a feel of how their work environment will be when they get employed. Industrial training also gives exposure to students on the tools used in the Industry.

● Developments of in-hand biological science process skills enable students to better understand science and perform better during interviews. As practical skilled knowledge is the most important aspect of technology-driven science like Botany and Microbiology.

● Internships provide students numerous perks: They gain experience, develop skills, make connections, strengthen their resumes, learn about a field, assess their interests & abilities and land up in desired jobs.

Who Should Attend

BENEFICIAL FOR - Students of UG/PG Programs & Research Scholars of Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology, Pharmacy, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics & other Life Sciences.
