Programmes offered by GMP in collaboration with the US Schools are STEM-designated. This gives 3 years of OPT to students after graduation. So, as the internship cycles start around May/June every year, it aligns well with the January intake. This also goes well with the STEM requirement of studying for at least two semesters in the US, full time, without which a student is not eligible to take up internships in the US.
