Intel® Unnati Industrial Training Program
The Intel® Unnati Industrial Training program provides a unique opportunity for Indian college students to work for one month on industry-relevant problems using emerging technologies under the guidance of industry mentors. This is exclusive to colleges with Intel® Unnati Labs and is aligned to AICTE-recommended industry exposure requirements for engineering and technology colleges.
More than 1100 students entering the 2nd or 3rd years of their respective courses and 100+ faculty guides from their colleges participated in the first edition of the program. 10 problem statements were curated by industry mentors in domains including AI/ML, digital design with FPGAs, and data analysis, and each student team was assigned a problem with every attempt made to align with students’ interests. All student teams who successfully completed their projects received a certificate at the Industrial Training Conclave organized at the Intel campus in Bengaluru.
Intel® Unnati Grand Challenge
Intel® Unnati Grand Challenge is a platform for students from colleges with Intel® Unnati Labs to work on real-world, high-impact, industry-relevant problems. Besides the chance to win exciting prizes, students would have the opportunity to significantly enhance their hands-on problem-solving skills, get exposure to industry perspectives, and network and seek feedback from technology experts from Intel India and collaborating institutions.
Past Events
Intel® Unnati Grand Challenge – Summer 2023
The Summer 2023 edition of the Intel® Unnati Grand Challenge was organized in collaboration with the International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT-H) and offered ₹2,50,000 in prizes—not to mention internships at IIIT-H for the top three teams. In Phase 1, 400+ student teams worked on gleaning insights from a mobility dataset. The top 10 teams from Phase 1 qualified for Phase 2, where they worked on identifying interesting Mobility-related problems based on the India Driving Dataset (IDD) and proposed solutions.
“This challenge helped me grow my own perspective about society and the irrigation system and how a professional engineer must think to solve any sort of problem or challenge they face in their work life or career.”
“The Unnati Grand Challenge exposes students particularly in their 2nd and 3rd years. They never get the opportunity to see what is a real problem and how to solve it. So it’s important. I think it’s good to continue challenges like this.”
“I encourage all college students to participate in this because after participating in this competition you will never be the same. You will be one step ahead in your career.”
Intel® Unnati Grand Challenge – Winter 2022
Intel® Unnati Grand Challenge – Winter 2022 was organized in collaboration with IISc Bangalore and Intel India AXG BU. From 20+ teams that applied to this Challenge, 6 were shortlisted. They received mentorship from IISc Professors and Principal Engineers from Intel India as they vied for top honours on problems ranging from Foreign object detection to Irrigation water and watershed management to Hybrid control of utility systems.
