For better placements, IIT Madras extends Btech internships to six months

Indian Institute of Technology Madras has modified the structure of their existing Bachelor of Technology curriculum to accommodate internships for a longer duration of six months, as opposed to the current three-month period. In the four-year BTech programme, internships are scheduled during the summer of the sixth semester in the third year from the months of May to July. But students needed to be on campus by the end of July for their core courses, and sometimes the extension requests would clash with the exam season,” said Prof. Sathyanarayana N Gummadi, Dean, IIT Madras. Mr. Gummadi highlighted that longer internships will improve chances of students to get placed and reduce competition during the placements season.
