IIT Delhi has concluded its first phase of internship hiring, and undergraduates students from the institute have received over 300 offers says IIT Delhi. The internship hiring drive, which began on 6 September 2020 was conducted in the virtual mode. The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi says that its students received over 300 internship offers with over 230 unique selections including international training offers from Hong Kong, South Korea and the US.
The internship hiring season was held for undergraduate students from the second and third year of the 4-year BTech programs and fourth year of the 5-year dual degree program. Several students, IIT Delhi says, managed to bag multiple internship offers from national and international companies.
The entire process was conducted virtually through the online mode with the aid of multiple e-resources from registrations, students’ orientations and trainings, company presentations, company pre-processes like tests, group discussions to selection interviews. The institute also states that over 150 organizations have already registered for the current internship hiring season, the final phase of which will begin in January 2021.
Anishya O Madan, ILO and Head, Office of Career Services (OCS), IIT Delhi said: “The number of selections has been quite impressive for the undergraduate students of the institute who have opted for summer internship for Summer 2021. We hope that the robust intern hiring numbers at the start of the season are an indication of hiring numbers in final placement as well.”
