AICTE has been constantly working to improve the employability of students. With an aim to achieve this outcome, AICTE has mandated internships for all the students in technical institutes affiliated to the council across the country. Events like Internship Day will motivate the colleges to provide internship opportunities to students.

Chairperson of AICTE, Dr. Anil Sahasrabuddhe explained that internships are an essential part of the students’ life in college. Internships will help students to learn industry-specific skills, develop entrepreneurial abilities and gain immense exposure. Students can land their dream jobs through internships. On the other hand, it is also the responsibility of colleges and faculty to prepare students for their future jobs. Internship Day is a unique event that will promote internship culture in India, he hoped.
