IIT Gandhinagar is redefining engineering education by allowing BTech students to spend an entire semester working in industry, research labs, academic institutions or startups while earning academic credits. Unlike traditional internships, the credit-bearing programme integrates real-world experience into the undergraduate curriculum without affecting graduation timelines.
