Will the internship happen in the third or fourth year of the bachelor's program?

Internships for Indian bachelor's programs, especially in engineering, usually take place after the fourth semester - typically in the third or fourth year. This follows University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, which mandate internships after the fourth semester for three-year degrees and during the eighth semester for four-year degrees.

Some universities may allow internships as early as the third semester, but this is less common. The exact timing depends on your institution's academic policy.

If you need confirmation for your specific program, please contact your college or department advisor.
