Ans. The Final Project/Internship in Semester IV is a compulsory component of the MBA programme at ChinTech, as per the Kannur University curriculum.

The project is evaluated by both the company supervisor and the faculty. While most students complete their internships with companies in Kerala or nearby regions due to logistical convenience, there is no restriction on doing the internship with a company outside Kerala. Students who secure internships with companies in other cities or states can do so with the institute's approval. The placement cell also assists students in identifying suitable internship opportunities.
