NU is all about fresh perspectives. So is our website.
With the current competitive world, employers need graduates who will seamlessly transition into actual jobs with little training. NIIT University (NU) comes to the rescue of this problem with its innovative 12-month Industry Practice (IP)—an immersive one-year industry immersion that prepares students to be confident, ready-to-work professionals. Having a 100% placement record since its establishment, NU makes sure that each graduate is equipped with real-life skills, industry knowledge, and the know-how to contribute right from the first day.
Industry Practice (IP) is the signature pedagogy of NU. Unlike internships, IP is a part of the academic program, so students earn credit-based, extended exposure to the workplace.
Counts towards 40 out of 178 credits in BTech programs.
Scheduled during the last year of undergraduate and integrated programs.
Organised by NU’s Centre for Industry Collaboration (CIC), which has established alliances with 700+ top companies.
Students collaborate on live, multidisciplinary projects, supervised together by faculty mentors and industry leaders.
Such a disciplined model enables NUtons to totally submerge themselves in the realities of contemporary workplaces for a whole 12 months.
NU has aligned with global industry leaders across diverse industries—Morgan Stanley, IBM, Cisco, Deloitte, E&Y, Genpact, BigBasket, and many more—to provide students with unprecedented exposure.
Supported by its 100% placement history since the beginning, these opportunities reflect how Industry Practice can directly foster NU’s reputation as a career-launchpad of choice.
Industry Practice is not merely technical exposure; it enables students to excel in the soft skills that characterise high-performing professionals.
Develop problem-solving skills by solving live problems.
Collaboration and teamwork through cross-functional projects.
Leadership and communication skills are developed by working with industry mentors directly.
Adaptability and confidence, through live interdisciplinary work, thus preparing them for various career options.
The standout example is Archana Gujar (B.Tech ECE), who interned at Thoucentric Technology as a Data Science intern, getting ₹30,000/month. She reported:
“We are treated no less than employees. Given equal responsibilities as well as opportunities.”
Before the last 12-month IP, students complete two-month internships during the summer season. These are stepping stones that enable them to appreciate workplace culture and professional expectations early on.
Capstone Projects
R&D Projects – collaboration on research projects taken up by faculty
Activity-Oriented Courses
Specialisations tailored to fields such as AI, IoT, Cyber Security, Biotechnology, and Data Science
This makes students ready not only for a specific career path but for several future careers.
NU’s method is founded on four core principles—industry-linked, research-based, technology-led, and seamless education. Of these, Industry Practice, based on the core principle of Industry-linked, is the foundation, making NU’s graduates:
Job-ready from day one
Valued by employers for their practical experience
Adaptable to changing industry trends
The proof is in the pudding: 100% placement record since the establishment of NU, testifying to the success of its industry-integrated education strategy.
Industry Practice at NIIT University is not just an internship—it’s a 12-month transformation. With experience at par with industry leaders, tackling real-life problems, and gaining hands-on experience, NU graduates are empowered with that extra something that makes them stand out in the tough job market.
With a 100% placement record since its inception, NU’s Industry Practice facilitates the transition of learning in the classroom to professional contribution and is both seamless, impactful, and future-ready.
