Theory + Field Experience = Learning

SIMC has devised a two-tier internship Programme for optimizing classroom inputs with hands-on industry experience. Over the two years of our programmes, the students go through two internships totaling six months. These internships are fine-tuned to each specialisation and ensure maximum learning benefit.
