Rolling up Their Sleeves: Gaining Hands-on Experience through Internships

At Jio Institute, we believe in learning by doing. Our internship programme gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in different industries. This is a key part of our approach, where classroom learning is connected with real-world application, helping students build the skills they need for their future careers.

Our curriculum offers diverse opportunities for experiential learning to enhance academic and professional growth of our students.
