Internships

Internship program at Language Technology Kendra (LTK)
We have been running the internship program at the Research and Development (R&D) Lab within the premises of LTK for quite sometime with the objective of involving university and college graduating students in the Research and Development on various areas of Computer Science and Engineering. The major focus of our program is on “Natural Language Processing (NLP)” and “Image Processing(IP)”. Under the program, students intensively work under the guidance of our experts at our lab. In order to smoothly run the program, we have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with academic institutions like Kathmandu University, according to which we will be enrolling student interns in the three months of the year (May-July).
