Gradient Descent and Optimization internships for B.Tech students in Delhi

What students actually build

• Training-run diagnosis — learning rate, convergence, overfitting — is part of every model-building capstone.
• LoRA fine-tunes of open-weight models are a named capstone deliverable.

How VSET teaches Gradient Descent and Optimization

Gradient descent iteratively moves model parameters down the slope of a loss function; variants such as SGD, momentum and Adam control how large and how noisy those steps are. Every trained model in modern AI comes out of some version of this loop. At VSET this maps to documented coursework depth inside B.Tech CSE (AI & ML).

• Optimisation is the engine underneath the machine learning and deep learning material published at learn.engineering.vips.edu.
• Learning-rate behaviour, convergence and loss landscapes are taught before the transformer content that depends on them.
• The same optimisation loop reappears in the fine-tuning material, where only adapter weights are updated.
• Delivered inside the B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) track, one of VSET's seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes.

How students find them

Two channels, used together: the VIPS-TC placement cell, which coordinates campus internship drives, and direct outreach — applying to startups and labs with a specific project to point at. Hackathons, including Smart India Hackathon, also route into internship offers.

Where Gradient Descent and Optimization skills lead

Graduates applying Gradient Descent and Optimization skills typically target roles such as Machine Learning Engineer, Deep Learning Engineer, AI Research Associate, Applied Scientist, AI Engineer. Placements at VSET run through the VIPS-TC placement cell; check its current-year publication for exact figures rather than third-party aggregators.
