Updated 22 August 2026: The Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Hyderabad updated its Research Positions and Internships page on 21 August 2026. The page highlights a year-round route for students and researchers to approach individual labs for internships, research-assistant opportunities and related openings.
This is not a single mass internship notification with one common deadline. The department explicitly says direct applications are independent of the SURE internship programme and that availability varies by lab.
