Life @ IIT

IIT students are constantly engaged in activities to help broaden their experiences and learning. As an IIT student, an innovative academic system also means that you can pursue beyond your core diploma subjects to enable you to enjoy a wholesome learning experience.
 

Our belief in practical training means that students have to undergo a period of internship with the relevant industry in their second or final year of study. Through the Student Internship Programme (SIP), students reinforced the knowledge learnt and apply the concepts and principles to practical situations. While most will do their internship locally, some will have the opportunity to go abroad and experience a different culture as well.
 

Some of our students also had the opportunity to go for student exchange programmes in overseas tertiary educational institutions, where they will get to attend classes and learn about the education system in other countries.
 

A number of our students also took part in various competitions held locally or overseas.
