Summer Internship 2021

The transition from undergrad to postgrad can be equally challenging as that from school to undergrad. When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds, and preparations. They come into an unfamiliar environment and most of them have little knowledge of the academic world beyond graduation. Therefore, it becomes an important task to welcome new students to Higher Education and prepare them for their new roles. Conducting activities supplements the academic curriculum and helps the students in learning by doing. These activities help students to develop problem-solving, reasoning, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and collaborative abilities.

To achieve the goals of the program the following activities are undertaken:

• Cocurricular Activities
• Extra Cocurriculum Activities
