IIT Madras Launches National Internship, Placement Training & Assessment (NIPTA) to Benchmark Employability of Students
Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) through the IIT Madras Shaastra Magazine, has launched a pioneering initiative to equip engineering and diploma students across India with a curated training program followed by a credible, standardised benchmark of their employability.
By setting a national standard for internship and job readiness, ‘National Internship, Placement Training, and Assessment’ (NIPTA) aims to transform the way employability is assessed in India.
As part of NIPTA, the IIT Madras team will provide free training resources, including video lectures and sample questions, ensuring that every student has equal access to preparatory material. Students will only be required to pay a nominal fee to take the assessment.
The curated preparation period will culminate in a three-hour, proctored evaluation will be conducted in designated centres across the country in in-person mode. It is targeted at third- and final-year engineering students, recent graduates, final-year diploma students, and diploma holders.
The assessment will evaluate Technical Knowledge (Branch-Specific), Mathematical Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and Communication skills
Each participant will receive a performance-based certificate issued by IIT Madras, serving as a transparent and credible indicator of skills and competencies. This will help students benchmark themselves against peers and identify areas for improvement, while providing recruiters with an objective metric to evaluate candidates.
Highlights of NIPTA:
O Curated 10-to-12-week training in focused technical subjects, math aptitude, logical reasoning and communication skills followed by an assesment exam
O Mode of Examination: 3 hour, In-person, proctored at various centres across India
O Target Group: Engineering (3rd & Final Year), Graduates, Diploma (Final Year), Diploma Holders
O Certification: Performance-based certificate issued by IIT Madras
O Training Resources: Free video lectures and sample questions provided
O Recruiter Engagement: Results shared with companies; National Job & Internship Mela planned
