Dubai: BITS Pilani on Wednesday announced 100 per cent internship placements for their 2021 batch of students, despite “an unprecedented and challenging year” of the COVID-19 pandemic.
BITS Pilani Dubai also said it is “the first engineering institute in the UAE to incorporate 7.5 months of internship in two parts as part of the curriculum”, called ‘Practice School Programme’.
What is the programme?
Practice School I is offered in the summer after the second year for eight weeks and Practice School II is offered in the final year for 5.5 months. Practice School provides students the option to choose the role and the organisation they want to intern with. All internship postings are formally reviewed and matched with the curriculum’s needs. Students are also offered a stipend during the internship by the companies.
