Internships at GRAAM
In the last quarter, GRAAM has offered internship opportunities for students from various institutes across the globe. Due to the pandemic, the internships were mostly online/on virtual mode. It was equally a new experience for GRAAM and the students. However, with the mentorship of the GRAAM team, the students still underwent a great learning opportunity while contributing substantially to the projects through their assigned tasks.
