Industry Exposure
Bridging the Gap Between Classrooms and Careers
NEXGEN OJT is ESDO’s flagship On-the-Job Training initiative designed to help students gain meaningful, industry-relevant practical exposure while pursuing their academic programmes. Developed in alignment with UGC guidelines and modern employability requirements, the programme transforms internships from a mere academic formality into a structured career-development experience.
The programme is specially designed for students in Finance, IT, Business, and related disciplines, enabling them to develop practical skills, workplace readiness, professional confidence, and industry exposure before graduation.
