MoU signed to create internships
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Internshala, have recently signed an agreement to facilitate internships for students. As per the MoU, all colleges affiliated under AICTE, the regulatory body under the HRD Ministry, will now be able to help their students find internships through Internshala free of cost. The platform would help students find internships as well as provide counselling and guidance.
AICTE chairman, Dr. Anil D Sahasrabudhe, said: “We have made internships mandatory for students so that they can be equipped with skills before they take up jobs. Students will get exposure to the work environment and their professional skills including technical, managerial and communicational skills would be honed. Internships would make them industry-ready before they step out of their colleges. We are hoping that, through our partnership with Internshala, colleges and students get easier access to more and meaningful internships.”
The collaboration with the AICTE will help put a meaningful internship on the resume of each of the 30 million-plus college students in the country.
