About Technical Internships:

IRSC believes that roads can be made safer not only by making policy level changes but also having technical innovations in the field of Road Safety. We run various Technical Projects with the help of faculty from IIT's, BITS and industries such as Efkon, LiveMedia etc. wherein students from various technical colleges participate in these projects to develop and create products meant to make roads and transport safer. The technical internships we offer not only involve world-class research at premier research labs of IITs and industries but also provide the interns complete mentor-ship and support during their internship tenure. We try to ensure that at the end of the internship, you feel that the time spent was worth all of it !
