IIT Hyderabad to Host US-Based Indian Students
Imagine a school in India called IIT Hyderabad.
They made a deal with a group called the American Telugu Association, or ATA.
This deal means students in the United States who have Indian roots can come to IIT Hyderabad to learn and work.
They'll do internships, which are like short-term jobs, and get to do research and learn new things.
ATA will help find the students, and IIT Hyderabad will give them a place to work, help them with their projects, and provide guidance.
The students will also get to experience Indian culture.
This is a great way for students to learn more about their heritage and connect with India!
