I have undergone Industrial training in Maruti Udyog Ltd., Gurgaon. It was a very good experience to be in industry and see the actual machines working there. I have gained practical knowledge, there I saw the each and every component of new technology engine. I use my practical knowledge to explain the theory to the student in better way. ”
