IIIT-BH has included industry interaction as an important component of our curriculum design.
Leaders from the Industry, experts from the industry share their valuable expertise and experience
with our student. This helps students in many ways. The students are sensitized to the industry
requirements and hence prepare themselves to be suitable for industry. They learn practical tricks
of the trade from the interaction with the experts. They also learn business practices as it happens
in industry.

Industry internship is designed to help discover industry practices from within the industry.
Working on practical projects will challenge the students to blend their knowledge with demands
from the peers and customers which is a key requirement of the Industry readiness.
