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 Zoological techniques frequently used.

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.

● Development of in-hand training in zoological tools and technical skills to enable students to better understand and perform during interviews. As practical skilled knowledge is the most important aspect of technology-driven science.

● 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 Zoology, Environmental Science, Forest and Conservation Biology, Ornithology, Freelancers, etc.
