IBM offers five tracks as part of the VTU
internship program for 7th-semester
students, allowing them to choose from
technologies such as Cloud, DevOps, AI, Data
Quality Analysis, Machine Learning, and
Fullstack Development.

Students will have the opportunity to work on

projects within these courses, with IBM
trainers conducting phase-wise evaluations.

This program aims to bridge the gap

between academic learning and industry
requirements, providing students with
valuable hands-on experience using IBM
tools and software.
