Summer Interns: Experiential Learning Before the Leap

Every year, pre-final year students from premier institutions are selected for an 8–10-week summer internship across GMR business units.

These internships are not routine observational stints, they include live business projects, structured mentorship, and exposure to real-time problem solving in operational settings. Interns work with cross-functional teams and are assessed on their ability to think critically, collaborate, and deliver value, making them eligible for future roles as Management or Graduate Engineer Trainees.
