Anmol Razdan and Sankalp Sardana, the two third year students of computers science engineering have been selected for an internship programme in Germany by Max Planck Institute. The two students have been selected out of 800 applicants from India. Both of the students The students will be receving the highest stipend a student has ever achieved during an training programme.
