Gujarat University adds campus-wide free Wi-Fi and paid on-campus internships

Gujarat University has announced two student-facing changes on its Ahmedabad campus: free high-speed Wi-Fi across the university, and a paid internship scheme that lets students work on campus while they study.

Free Wi-Fi

The network covers roughly 30 departments. Students connect by registering with their enrolment number or mobile number, and the university has pitched it at online coursework and recorded lectures, the kind of use that is expensive on a personal mobile data plan.

“Earn While You Learn”

The paid internship scheme places students in administrative, computer programming and clerical roles within the university. The announcement did not put a figure on the stipend, so students should ask their department for the rate and the weekly hours before signing up.

The measures were announced by Jagdish Joshi, the in-charge Vice-Chancellor.

Why it matters

On-campus paid work is rare at Indian state universities, and it is one of the few ways a student can build a work record without commuting to an outside employer between classes. If you are choosing between colleges in Ahmedabad, this is the sort of thing worth asking about at admission time.
