Internships offer temporary, practical work experience in a specific field, often for students or recent grads, which can be paid or unpaid. Fellowships provide financial support and mentorship for in-depth projects or research, fostering professional and academic growth.

## Internships

An internship is a structured and temporary work experience provided by
companies, organizations, or institutions to individuals who are typically
students or recent graduates. The primary aim is to offer practical exposure
to a specific industry or field of study. Students engage in hands-on work,
applying theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world
scenarios. Internships can be either paid or unpaid, and they vary in
duration, ranging from a few weeks to several months.

## Fellowships

A fellowship is a more extensive and specialized program that goes beyond
traditional classroom learning. They can encompass various fields such as
research, academia, social impact, and entrepreneurship. Fellowships
typically provide financial support, mentorship, and resources to students
pursuing a specific project, research endeavor, or innovative idea. Students
in fellowships often have the opportunity to collaborate with experts in
their chosen field, contributing to their academic and professional growth.

## Nomination procedure

Please submit your nomination before the deadline (Nominations are to be
submitted before 6 p.m. of the specified deadline date). Late submissions
will not be considered. The approval from the faculty advisor should be
received before the stipulated nomination deadline and time. We suggest that
students submit the form well before the deadline to allow their faculty
advisor enough time to review the request.
