New Delhi: In a collaborative effort to enhance experiential learning for students, the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (NHIDCL), under the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today. This five-year partnership aims to provide internship opportunities for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students across India, with a special focus on the North-Eastern region, the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The MoU was signed by Nitin Sharma, Executive Director of NHIDCL, and Dr. Buddha Chandrasekhar, Chief Coordinating Officer of AICTE.
