Is internship important for engineering students?

In clear words, we can say that an Internship is a staircase between a fresher and a job!!

Employability has been a major source of concern in India over the last decade, especially in the field of engineering. Every year, 60 percent of engineering graduates find themselves unemployed. The lack of practical experience and an ability gap are two major reasons for this. Both of these problems can be solved by meaningful internships, which enable students to upgrade their skill sets by putting them to use in a practical situation. That is why AICTE is adamant about making internships mandatory for engineering students.

Internships are critical for engineering students and can go a long way toward assisting them in establishing successful careers.

An internship makes you ready for the JOB: You work on actual projects, learn about current industry developments, sharpen your technical skills, and learn in-demand technical skills during an internship. And apart from that, an internship exposes you to the corporate world, teaches you professional ethics, and enhances your soft skills such as communication and interpersonal skills. With an internship, you could become an engineer before graduating, which could be incredibly beneficial for quick integration to the workplace when you start a full-time career.

Helps you get a job – An internship experience validates your skillset and, as a result, stimulates the recruiting process, increasing the chances of landing a placement or position. A large number of internships also have a pre-placement offer (PPO), which allows you to demonstrate your talents and transform your internship into a full-time job. Internships also help you to build your professional network, which can actually be useful when applying for jobs in the future.

What options you have?- Each branch of engineering covers a wide range of topics. When you’re on the job, though, you’re only allowed to work in certain fields. For instance, if you are an Electronics engineer, you could specialize in Embedded Systems, the Internet of Things, or programming languages like MATLAB and Simulink, PYTHON, Digital signal processing, and so on… Indian Institute of Embedded Systems (IIES) offers an INTERNSHIP program in which you can explore the opportunities in different subjects of your branch and we will also assist you in determining the best area in which to work or study further.
