Internship (VTU-Specific)

Internship is an integral part of the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) curriculum and is made mandatory for all B.E./B.Tech students. It plays a vital role in enhancing the technical and professional competence of students and as an affiliated Institute we (NCEH) follow VTU and all our students are doing Internship through VTU Portal.

1. Mandatory Requirement as per VTU

  • VTU has included internships as a credit-based and compulsory component of the academic program.

Internships help VTU students apply:

  • Engineering theories
  • Laboratory concepts
  • Core subject knowledge

to solve real-world engineering problems, improving conceptual clarity.

4. Skill Development

VTU internships focus on developing:
