- 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.

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