NITR - An All-rounder Package,still have some space for improvement

I got civil engineering in JoSAA, was interested, now in 1st year. Learning general courses, not core yet. 1st semester includes engineering mechanics, Waves and optics, C Language programming, Mathematics, etc. 2nd semester covers Chemistry for energy application, Communicative English, Basic electrical engineering, Basic electronics engineering, etc. Curriculum is good, but 1st year feels outdated. Suggest adding branch core subjects. Semesters last 4-5 months, with mid and end exams. Exams are moderate."

I haven't done any internship as In 1st yr. So I can't answer properly. but as I have got to know, you can have internships in 3rd year and it depends on companies to companies for stipend. But if you have proper skills and projects in your CV, u r good to go. As seniors have said,I have written here.
