There are not much internship opportunities for Masters students.

Tips: One of the best universities for providing the best education at the most reasonable price. The academic staff is highly qualified and the learning experience that the university provides is excellent. The university has different organizational bodies for every academic and on-campus issue. Also, the university is well equipped with learning resources availability and a development centre. Overall, it has been an amazing experience. Great academic and industrial contacts.

Likes (Post study jobs): Post study job options are excellent. University has contacts with a lot of major industries and companies and for that matter, they organize various career fairs through student's association. These fairs provide a lot of networking opportunities. Student's association guides us regarding various networking opportunities of the same kind.

Dislikes (Internships): There are not much internship opportunities for Masters students. Students mostly opt for a full time job experience or graduate placements in companies after Masters. If anyone still wants to do internship then the university has a lot of facilities to guide you on how to apply for it on your own.
