INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GOA
CAREER DEVELOPMENT CELL

Why IIT Goa?


  • A unique system of a long-term internship has been recently introduced in IIT Goa’s B.Tech. curriculum. Students can take up challenging internships in industries, academic, or research institutes during their 8th semester (applicable from B.Tech batch 2021 and onwards), lasting from Jan to June. Such internships make our students industry-ready.

  • The low student-faculty ratio of 8 enables students of our institute and teachers work one-on-one, which leads to enhanced knowledge transfer. Moreover, students are able to connect closely with their peers and are more confident in sharing their ideas and perspectives with teachers.

  • At IIT Goa, faculty members conduct research on a broad spectrum of scientific fields. Two centers of research and development [Center of Excellence in Particulates, Colloids and Interfaces and Center for Appropriate Technology for Rural Sectors (CATeRS)] established at IIT Goa provide exposure of cutting-edge research areas even to the undergraduate students. This fosters independent critical thinking skills, in addition to the sound academic foundation.

  • Beyond academics, IIT Goa has a vibrant extra-curricular culture with various clubs & committees, and 95% of our students participate in sports, arts and cultural activities. Apart from providing an essential break from academic rigor, it is the domain of extra-curricular activities that is frequently credited for the creation of proficient leaders.
