Selected students mentioned that they used to solve coding questions regularly on Leetcode, Codeforces, and Codechef, along with understanding core computer science and data science concepts taught at IIIT Naya Raipur. They shared that to achieve good internship opportunities, students should focus on building good projects, actively practice competitive coding, and solve data structure and algorithms questions. Students mentioned that the project-focused curriculum and skill-oriented pedagogy of IIIT Naya Raipur had prepared them well.

IIITNR Director Dr. Pradeep Kumar Sinha congratulated the students and wished them luck for their bright future.
