 Executive Summary
Internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited period of time. The purpose of
qualified internship is to come up with practical as well as organized working system experience & also allow the
students to implement their theoretical knowledge in the working environment. It provide interns with the ability to
participate in the field of their choice to receive hands-on learning about a particular future career & preparing them
for full-time work following graduation needing little or no training.

The main objective of internship program is to give interns an opportunity to implement their theoretical
knowledge in theworking area andto make a smooth transition from educational environment to the real life
working environment
