The participating students began their three-phase internship by visiting the University of Cyberjaya in Malaysia for one week in October. During this visit, they immersed themselves in Malaysia’s dynamic research and innovation environment. Exposure to the Malaysian academic and professional landscape allowed the students to gain hands-on experience in advanced fields related to their specializations, particularly in AI, AIML, and Data Science (DS).

The students also had the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge healthcare projects, which helped foster creativity and critical thinking. The experience aimed to equip students with the skills needed to address real-world challenges through innovation. All 27 participants were awarded certificates for completing the first phase of the internship, which highlighted their commitment to their fields and the valuable opportunities provided through the Student Abroad Programme.
