EIDAAD is an educational initiative program that aims to narrow the gap between Industry & Academia and to establish an Internship that lasts for one academic year so students can engage in a longer period of applied learning. The program is aimed to admit bachelor students who are in pre-final year. The admitted students will join one-year industry placement and then will resume their final year studies to complete the remaining credits at the campus to graduate in their chosen field of study.
