Industry Tie-ups: Through partnerships with organizations like Internshala and various local industrial units in the Mumbai-Pune belt, the college facilitates diverse internship opportunities.
Research Internships: High-performing students often secure research internships within the institute's own labs or through collaborations with premier institutions like IIT Bombay.
