About Internship Program

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

● This enables the trainees to gain first-hand knowledge, especially working skills with design techniques frequently used in Botany and Industrial Microbiology.

Advantages

● Help the students develop their 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 Biotechnology or Bioinformatics.

●Internships provide students with 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.
