Do IIIT Allahabad students apply for internships? When?

PV
Priyanka Vardhan Posted On : March 17th, 2021
Studied Electronics and Communication Engineering at Indian Institute of InformationTechnology, Allahabad

Yes, students do apply for internships. It is up to you only when do you wish to apply for it. 

Here is an approximate time frame of the whole course which may be helpful for you to understand the internship opportunities offered. 

Semester 1

Semester 5 - On-Campus Summer Intern Drive

Winter Break

Winter Break

Semester 2

Semester 6

Summer Break

Summer Break - Summer Internship (on/off-campus mode)

Semester 3

Semester 7

Winter Break

On-campus 6 month Intern Drive

Semester 4 

Winter Break 

Summer Break - Summer Internship (Off-campus mode)

Semester 8 - 6 Month Internship (On or Off-campus mode)

There are two long breaks provided by the institute during the year. One big winter break in December and one summer break of 2 to 2.5 months in May, June, and July. 

  • Most students start applying for internships after the 4th semester, though students applying for internships before this is quite uncommon, but it is not non-existent.
  • Summer internships during the 5th semester are offered by recruiters on campus. If any individual receives an offer letter, he/she has to join and complete this internship after their 6th semester during the summer break. 
  • During the 8th semester, students also apply for six-month internship programs, for which recruitment is carried out during the 7th semester. Students participate in internships both on and off-campus.
  • You can always apply and join an internship during any of the breaks. Tech internships for one month are quite rare which is why it’s hard to find good winter internships easily. 

Summer internships are easier to come by as compared to winter ones, depending upon your skill, abilities, the company, and profile you apply for.

How can an engineering student apply for summer or winter internships at top B schools like IIMs/ISB/XLRI, etc.?

NB
Nishtha Bhat Posted On : June 29th, 2021
Ph.D. from Xavier School of Management

You need to keep in mind that the internships at top B schools such as IIMs/ISB/XLRI will be strictly literary and not industrial. If you are interested in such things or your college does not have any strict criteria of doing only industrial internships, then you can definitely apply at these institutes.

Whenever you want to do an internship, start applying at least a month before the start of the internship. During the summers many professors are out of India or are on vacations or are attending some seminars, so apply as early as possible.

The process of application is as follows.

  • Search for projects or departments in the institutes which suit you and your interests.
  • Then look for the professors in your interested areas and find out their email IDs. This is simple and you can get all their details on their respective institute websites.
  • Send in your cover letters and CVs/resumes to them through e-mails. A cover letter should explain your interest, why you want to do the internship, your expectations, any prior knowledge if you have any, and other such details. CVs inform the professors about your academics, achievements, etc.
  • After sending the emails the only thing you can do is wait. You may get lots of negative responses. Some professors may even take some interviews or other tests or tasks.

You may even get a stipend which such internships.

B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2020)

IIT Delhi typically offers internships to students in undergraduate or graduate programs. The application process generally includes the following steps:

  • Check the internship opportunities available on the IIT Delhi website.
  • Submit an online application, including your resume and a cover letter.
  • Complete any additional requirements, such as taking a test or providing transcripts.
  • Wait for a response from the internship coordinator or supervisor.

It's always a good idea to check the official website of IIT Delhi for the most up-to-date information on internships and the application process. 

IIT Delhi usually starts accepting applications around Jan-Feb. You are required to upload your Resume, Cover letter, and an overview of a Research Paper published by any faculty member of the department you are applying at. In case they consider you eligible for the internship they will contact you via your email. A good CGPA might help but is not necessary for an internship.

Does ISB Hyderabad offer summer internships ?

NB
Nikita Bose Posted On : May 27th, 2021
MBA Marketing & Operations, ISB Hyderabad

The flagship PGP course is a one-year course and thus there are no summer internships offered by ISB Hyderabad. And the students pursuing this course have an average work experience of around 5 years and a minimum work experience of around 20 months. So basically there is no need for an internship. 

But there is a similar kind of program known as the Experiential Learning Program (ELP). This is a group project and they will select you if you show any interest in the project. These kinds of projects usually comprise around 4-5 people, according to the company's requirements. They make a project according to their interests and if they are selected, then they get the chance to do ELP with that company. You need to work on this project throughout your 8 terms, whenever possible, and also you have to work full time in your term breaks. 

The company's manager gives feedback on your project and this remark is also included in your final year mark sheet. This is a very important project and will have a major impact in deciding your final year grade.

How and when does a student have to do an internship at Thapar University (B.E. Electrical)?

AR
Aranya Roy Posted On : August 6th, 2021
Studies CSE at Thapar University (2018)

I have a friend from Thapar University and he was able to provide some information regarding this. In the B.E. Electrical course, you can secure internship opportunities twice, wherein the first one will be in the 8th semester, and the other one is a 6 week-long training period.

  • Students who acquire placements with FTE+intersip or only internship have to continue doing it for as long as the contract is. 
  • Students who don’t secure any placement must work on their own to obtain internships. It’s better to choose an internship program at any core company. Elsewise, you will obtain lower grades. 

For the 6-week training, you will need to search for internship opportunities, especially on your own in numerous parts of the industry. The firms can range anywhere from a reactor plant, a thermal plant, or a hydroelectric plant. It depends upon your academic exposure and credentials. The work should be related to the branch and the topics you are familiar with. Make sure to create the file with accurate and standard formatting, to avoid mark deduction.
