IIT Palakkad Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Ans. At IIT Palakkad, the best time to apply for internships during the MS program is after the first semester. In the second semester (around January to March), students usually start applying for summer internships that take place between May and July. This is the ideal period because by then, students have settled into their program, chosen a research area, and can use the summer break to gain practical experience. Internships can be done in research labs like DRDO, ISRO, or in industries. Some students also take up remote internships or short research projects during the third semester.
