This internship is a part of the ‘Capacity Building for Human Resource Development in UAS/Drone and Related Technologies’, known as Project SwaYaan. It’s a national-level initiative under MeitY aiming to transform India into a global drone innovation hub by 2030.
The project connects more than 30 premier institutions, including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and C-DACs, to offer skill-building activities and training programs in drone-related fields. It also collaborates with industry leaders such as FICCI, HAL, DFI, and ESSCI to ensure alignment with the latest trends and market demands.
No information about a stipend has been provided. However, participants will receive a certificate upon successful completion.
No, the internship is strictly for 4th-semester engineering students.
Participants will receive hands-on training on MATLAB, Python, and other relevant software used in drone simulation and AI-based systems.
As the location mentioned is the NIT Kurukshetra campus, the program is expected to be held offline.
Participants will work on hardware or simulation-based mini projects, focusing on real-world drone applications using AI and IoT.
