Which Are The Highest Paid Internships In India

Most people will agree that it is only a small fragment of the learning that is required in the real world that happens in the classroom. It is only when people go to work do they get a chance to apply all that they have learnt in the classroom and in turn obtain the required skill set that is necessary for an individual to function to the best of their abilities. Now the one thing that forms a bridge between the classroom learning and the world outside is that of internships. These internships nurture the individual's skill set that was developed in the classroom and provide them with the necessary confidence to survive all the challenges of the corporate world.
