Even he encouraged that all faculty members of BUFT can visit ETL in turns through a coordination system.

# Internship and Project Opportunities for BUFT Students:
BUFT students will get internship & project opportunities more often than present if we can share our academic program well ahead with them to facilitate their schedule for internships. So hopefully it’ll be more prominent in future.
