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.

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
“Summer Internship in France was a life changing experience for me, I encourage all my loving juniors to dedicate their full efforts and interest to take the best out of the available tremendous opportunities.”
Ritesh Gupta (B.Tech. Civil, Final Year)
“Two months in Taiwan made me learn many things. From academics to my own character, it taught me so much that I will always count it among my best journeys. It is my advice to all juniors to utilize summer vacations in a productive way.”
Tanmay Agrawal (B.Tech. Mechanical, Final Year)
“Every night I am dreaming of those days that I have spent in France. I think this is best line to express my experience. I suggest and motivate my juniors to try their best to find a suitable summer internships and add one such extravaganza in their life.”
Shashank Gupta (B.Tech. Civil, Final Year)
“Doing research internship in France was a wonderful experience of life and fabulous architectural places to visit made my journey successful. Dear juniors, put your maximum effort and dedication to get the best.”
Arpit Gupta (B.Tech. Civil, Final Year)
“In my opinion summer internship is a way of reinventing one's passion and finding a direction one would like to pursue, once graduated. It is the best opportunity for the undergraduate students to break free from theoretical discourses on the subject.”

One Final Point!
Don’t apply for internship, just for the sake of getting one. Especially
for research internships, apply only if you are really interested in the
research field. Aim to work in a field or on a project which fascinates
you. There have been real stories of many students who were selected
for such internship and later repented for having a not-good-to-have-
one experience! There are many other ways of getting knowledge and
experience, do try that too.
If you do get an internship/training experience – good or bad, please
don’t forget that there will be many many juniors throughout the
country who will be needing your help, so come, take a step back and
share your experiences for everyone. You might be super busy though,
but you wouldn’t be reading this if everyone were like that. So take out
