Selected applicants must be able to video conference - with access to a PC/laptop with a reasonably good headphone + microphone, camera and good broadband Internet connection (20Mbps or more is desirable).
Applications for Internships are now open.
Application deadline for any batch are typically 30 days before the batch starts, but the 'advance application' mode allows one to apply for any of the future batches (charges apply).
For the current status of your application please click on the Batch for which you have applied in the "Navigation" tab at the left of this page.
As the GIPEDI Program is being conducted in hybrid mode (both in physical and online), the weekly lectures and talks are free and can be attended by anybody - even if they have not registered as a participant in GIPEDI.
The weekly talk is held every Friday at 0800 hours during the Batch 2 and 4 only (Batch 2 runs during the summer vacation and Batch 4 during the one-month long winter vacation).

The GIPEDI is an Internship Program in the Electrical Sciences for students and professionally qualified engineers - students from any Engineering or related STEM / Science discipline are welcome if the project work is conducted in an area allied to the Electrical Sciences. Students from non-STEM backgrounds will be considered on a case-to-case basis depending on the project work they intend to do.
It is a program of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, with logistic support from the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT).
The Program runs throughout the year in four batches of different durations (Jan-May/May-July/July-Dec/Dec-Jan).
It welcomes applications from undergraduate and postgraduate students from recognized academic Institutions.
For professionally qualified Engineers, it offers Returnships for those who to get back to an active career after a break and Gap Internships for those professionals who wish to switch careers / are between two careers*.
Woman engineers and meritorious engineering students who need support or have special needs to fulfil professional aspirations are encouraged to apply under its affirmative action initiative.
The GIPEDI Internship is designed differently — it does not just train students to execute projects, it trains them in project planning, requirements analysis, specification generation, design iteration management, team work and ethics, behaviour management, team building, group etiquette and communication skills. Apart from a full set of technology modules, it also uses specially designed training modules in ethics, history through heritage sensitization / heritage walks and lessons from mythology to teach culturally-conscious and effective engineering practices.
* The Gap Internship is also appropriate for fresh graduates / post-graduates "on the bench" who are waiting to join a job or waiting to get admission to another program after completing one program or even for professionals who are in a switch between two careers. Gap Interns do not need a TPO signature (obviously) but they need to have two LoRs (for example, from a Senior Manager or a Senior Team Leader or a Faculty Member - someone who has seen you in action).
