So then, if all set, read on!! Introduction So first of all, what is Internship?? An internship is an opportunity to enhance classroom learning through practical career-related work experience. All internships should have the primary goal of providing students supervision and a chance to learn while contributing to the organization’s needs. An internship can be both paid/unpaid. Apart from providing experience and stipends, it helps students in determining whether they are actually interested in a particular career or not. Students get chance to make lasting contacts with professionals in a related field of interests. A good internship can potentially become a defining moment towards your career. So what are the different types of internships available for students? Read on to find out! 1 | P a g e We will discuss about each in detail: Industrial Interns This category of internship is preferred by most of the students. It basically involves field exposure by making students aware of practical aspect of their course curriculum. There are three ways to get such internship: 1. Training and Placement Representatives (TPRs) of respective departments contacting various industries and companies in India and sending the student database to them and companies inviting them as per requirement. 2. Companies’ campus recruitment for internship through Personal Types of Internships Foreign Internships IIT Interns Other Internships Industrial internships 2 | P a g e Interviews (PI). This mode is very beneficial for getting a PPO (Pre Placement Offer) from the same company to join them later after B.Tech. 3. Students having contacts of officials concerned to some project work can directly approach them to get an offer for industrial training. IIT Interns Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) provides tremendous opportunities for B.Tech students to pursue research internship under the supervision of their expert faculty having vast knowledge in their particular area of interest. There are two ways to apply for a summer internship in IITs. 1. Request for summer internship by writing a short research proposal, cover letter & your CV and sending it directly to the concerned IIT faculty via e-mail. 2. IIT Summer research fellowship programs in which they invite applications via (online/offline) modes and shortlist required number of candidates for internship. Different programs available for internship in IITs are:- SURGE Programme: IIT Kanpur Summer Fellowship Programme: IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Guwahati etc. 3 | P a g e Other Internships in India There are some research centres in India where students can apply for internship.

There are so many programs available for this and a few out of them are listed below. It is recommended to visit their respective web sites for detailed information, eligibility, requirements and other details. 4 | P a g e Following programs require a perquisite acceptance letter from a professor to be eligible to apply for scholarship. DAAD – WISE (Germany) https://www.daad.de/en/ Charpak Scholarship (France) http://www.inde.campusfrance.org/en/ General Procedure Search •Search For Professors working in your field of interest. •Make a database of their email-ids and contacts. Draft •Prepare your cover letter and CV. •Keep in mind the interests of professor. Mail •Send your research proposal to the professor. •Always send individually, and keep in mind time difference. Wait •Keep trying the above by mailing to different professors, till you get acceptance and invitation letter. Funding •After Getting Acceptance ask for scholarship and funding. 5 | P a g e Besides above mentioned scholarship programs following programs are also available which do not require any perquisite acceptance or invitation from professors. Online application form is a sole criteria for selections of students in these programs. Global Leadership Scholarship (Taiwan) http://bel.uq.edu.au/bel-taiwan-scholarships MITACS Globalink (Canada) http://www.mitacs.ca/globalink SN Bose Scholars Program (USA) http://www.indousstf.org/bose/indianstudents.htm SRI Program (NTU Singapore) http://global.ntu.edu.sg/global/SRI/Pages/SRIProgramme.aspx Viterbi-India Internship Program (USA) http://viterbi.usc.edu/students/summerinternship/viterbi-india- program.htm Miscellaneous points! Online application forms submission is a very competitive mode to get a best (IIT or abroad) internship. Thousands of applications are invited and only a few students are shortlisted. Following documents are critical for selection in this mode: Curriculum Vitae (Max. 2 pages) Statement of Purpose (SOP) Applicants are advised to focus majorly in these two aspects while applying. 6 | P a g e Besides, direct emailing to professor mode for an internship is mostly preferred especially for abroad internships due to following reasons: It eliminates a tough competition like in online application mode as only a few students successfully get an acceptance letter and probability of getting a scholarship automatically increases. There is a possibility of getting stipend directly from the inviting professor which completely eliminates any requirement of a scholarship. Student having an acceptance letter may prefer to proceed towards internship with his own funding in case no scholarship or stipend from professor is received. It should be noted that sending an e-mail is a very crucial step and students frequently commit a mistake in this resulting into loss of a big opportunity. So, following guidelines are proposed while sending an email. Never send your cover letter and CV as attached files in your e- mail. Use e-mail writing section for this. Always mention waiting to hear from you at the end of cover letter. Never send mails to two different professors of the same university (department) on a single day. Never copy-paste the same Cover Letter all the time. Edit it based on the Field of interest of recipient professor. Never send mail on weekends and check the office hours of recipient Professor. Avoid sending mails in bulk as it may drop in to spam folder of recipient professor. 7 | P a g e Stay Connected!
