Summer Abroad Program for Plaksha Undergraduate Students

Plaksha's summer abroad programs offer students the opportunity to extend their academic journey beyond the classroom through coursework at partner universities and other leading international institutions. These programs provide hands-on global exposure while allowing students to explore new disciplines, pedagogies and learning environments.

Semester Abroad Program for Plaksha Undergraduate Students

Plaksha offers students the opportunity to spend a semester at one of its international partner institutions, gaining rich academic exposure and cross-cultural experience. During the semester abroad, students may enrol in courses aligned with their academic interests, which are eligible for transfer towards their Plaksha degree, in accordance with university guidelines.

A semester abroad allows students to engage with new pedagogical approaches, learn alongside a diverse global cohort, and experience life in a different cultural and academic setting.

Research Internships Abroad

Plaksha encourages students to explore international research internships and distinctive global programs that offer hands-on experience in their areas of academic and professional interest. These opportunities allow students to apply classroom learning in real-world research and work environments, deepen disciplinary understanding, and develop practical skills through meaningful global engagement.

Student testimonials

The summer internship at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) was an incredibly enriching experience for Shivam. He worked on a fascinating project involving drifters designed for the continuous monitoring of water bodies. It was a truly collaborative environment where ideas flowed freely, and the exchange of knowledge was encouraged.

Faculty testimonials

I have been lucky to spend most of an academic year at Plaksha in its third year of enrolling students. The great part for me is to see the flexibility Plaksha has in setting up its curriculum, not bound by imitation of any other university, yet free to borrow the best aspects of other successful universities. It is a pleasure to watch Plaksha find its unique path towards the end of being uniquely good at giving a practical engineering education.
