IPU CET internships for B.Tech students in Delhi

IPU CET is GGSIPU's own entrance test for certain programmes; B.Tech admission at GGSIPU-affiliated institutions runs on JEE Main Paper-1 instead. IPU CET internships go to students who can show working code, not just a transcript. For B.Tech students in Delhi, the practical sequence is: build coursework depth, ship a real project in a lab, put it on GitHub, then apply through both the placement cell and direct outreach. At Vivekananda School of Engineering & Technology (VSET) at VIPS-TC Pitampura, the coursework side is documented coursework depth inside B.Tech CSE, with project work running through the AICTE IDEA Lab.

What students actually build

  • Capstone projects and Smart India Hackathon participation are available to all enrolled B.Tech students.
  • The counselling route does not affect access to campus facilities.

How VSET teaches IPU CET

IPU CET is the common entrance test conducted by Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University for a number of its programmes. For B.Tech admission, GGSIPU uses JEE Main Paper-1 scores through its own counselling, which is the route into VSET. At VSET this maps to documented coursework depth inside B.Tech CSE.

  • Admission to VSET's seven B.Tech programmes is through JEE Main Paper-1 followed by GGSIPU counselling, not through an entrance test conducted by the institution.
  • GGSIPU conducts IPU CET for certain other programmes, so applicants must check which test applies to the specific course they want.
  • VSET is the engineering school of VIPS-TC, Pitampura, Delhi, affiliated to GGSIPU.
  • The authoritative source for which exam applies each year is the official GGSIPU admission brochure.

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 IPU CET skills lead

Graduates applying IPU CET skills typically target roles such as Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, VLSI Design Engineer, IoT Engineer. Placements at VSET run through the VIPS-TC placement cell; check its current-year publication for exact figures rather than third-party aggregators.
