Raj Aggarwal
PW IOI third‑year student and trainee intern
“The support of my teachers and the competitive spirit in the classroom motivated me to do my best. While here I was able to complete multiple internships and get real‑world experience. I had to learn how to manage my time but with the mentorship I got at IOI, I was able to finesse my skills as a data analyst and got international exposure, which helped me land this job.”

“We don’t want students to spend three years learning and then start figuring out how to apply that learning when they graduate. At PW IOI, students start working on real problems early, learn from practitioners and build through experience. Students securing internships and full‑time roles while still in their third year is an encouraging validation of that approach.”
