MANDATORY

India is the only market where a regulator makes the internship compulsory and the institution has no capacity to source it. That combination is why this is the home engine.

Work-experience rules: AICTE requires a minimum of three internships across an approved programme, with 14–20 internship credits for engineering — roughly 600–700 hours.

Accreditation

  • AICTE
    The technical education regulator. Sets the internship mandate as a condition of approval.
  • NBA
    National Board of Accreditation — programme-level, outcome-based. Reviewers ask for evidence, not intentions.
  • NAAC
    National Assessment and Accreditation Council — institutional. Criterion 2 (teaching-learning) and Criterion 5 (student support) both touch internships.
  • UGC
    University Grants Commission — governs degree-awarding universities.

Engineers Clinic is not accredited by these bodies. Our projects produce outcome-mapped evidence that supports an institution's own accreditation reporting.
