● 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.
● 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.
Beneficial For- Students of UG/PG Programs & Research Scholars of Zoology, Environmental Science,
