In a move that is expected to improve the quality of engineering education in the State, internships have been made mandatory for engineering students from the academic year 2018-19. The internship has to be taken in the industry concerned by students either after completing their second year or third year of engineering to gain knowledge.
So far, students are made to do a mini and major project as part of their final year course. A few students in the engineering colleges take these projects seriously, while the rest buy readymade projects from the market at a nominal price. Lack of practical knowledge and internship component has dented the quality of the engineering education in the State, according to officials.
