Do the dual degree students in IIIT Hyderabad get a chance to do internships or do they have to miss out on them?

AG

studied at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad

I am a dual degree student at IIIT Hyderabad. According to me, a dual degree is a really good choice. One of my seniors got an internship offer from Facebook London for this summer, during her 5th year. The summer before that she interned at Google Dublin and during her 3rd year, she did GSoC.

Dual degree students have at least a year extra as compared to single degree students.This is a huge advantage and they can utilize the extra time they get for internships and projects without the burden of placements and a heavy coursework load.

Thus, dual degree students at IIIT Hyderabad do go for internships and projects.

Yes, BITS Goa offers international 2-months internships for PS-1, 6 months duration for the single degree, and 1-year for the dual degree. For the master courses, you can decide between Thesis and PS-2 when they reach the final semester. 

The internship is provided through a list of companies in which a student needs to fill up the preferences and then based on the aggregate or CGPA, the internships would be allotted.

Practice School-1:

  • It is of 2 months duration after the second year for the single degree students and third year for the dual degree students in the summer term.
  • Reputed companies offer internships such as BARC, CEERI, NPCIL, etc but the chances of abroad PS station is less. 

Practice School-2:

  • It is available in the final year for both the single and dual degree courses. 
  • The companies in PS-2 offer internships abroad but that depends on various parameters including the branch, projects, availability, and other factors by the companies. 
  • They will ask you if you want to complete your internships in the same company be it on-campus or off-campus. 
  • If you receive an offer from a company not mentioned in the Practice-School list, then you can pursue it as an off-campus thesis. You can request any faculty to be your mentor but it requires proper planning.

However, if you choose to pursue an on-campus thesis, then it is mentored under the supervision of a professor from BITS Goa whereas an off-campus thesis will be supervised by a faculty from foreign universities along with one from the campus.

Studied at IIIT Hyderabad

In order to get an internship in IIIT Hyderabad, contact the concerned professor through an email. Attach your CV in the mail. Make sure to keep your mail to the point. Refrain from sending the same general email to all the professors in the department. Your email should reflect that you know about your area of interest and how it will match with the interest of the concerned professor.

The IIIT Hyderabad professors get a large number of internship applications. Therefore, they may not mail you back incase of a rejection. If you get selected, well and good. If you receive no reply, simply move on, don’t keep waiting endlessly. The end of third year is the ideal time for internships.

If you live near Hyderabad, drop by at the annual R&D showcase to understand what all is going on. You can have discussions with the research students on topics that you find interesting. If convinced, you can try and meet the faculty as well.

Thus, you can get an internship in IIIT Hyderabad by following the steps mentioned in this answer.

Is it worth it to do the remote IIM Lucknow's summer internship?

SB
Sonali Bhagat Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow

Remote Summer internship from IIM Lucknow is something that actually excites and amazes you, but if you’re planning to pursue it just because of the IIM tag on it, then you need to wait and read the reviews and suggestions provided by students. 

A friend of mine has successfully completed it and suggested not to go for it due to some specific reasons. First of all, it is not useful as there are about 70-80 students doing the same remote internship. No personal attention is given to students actually in need. 

In the internship program, you have to buy recommended books and a suggested Udemy course as well. Buying a book is enough though it contains all the information and study material you actually need as the same book is used in management courses.

Furthermore, the only good thing about this internship is the online classes and guidance provided by Prof. Sameer Mathur who is one of the best and experienced professors. You can take advantage of his experience and learn new things with simple examples and scenarios. But you need to complete all your assignments and work on your own as the assignments are given on a regular basis including sundays as well. If you really want to complete this internship program then forget about holidays. After successfully completing the internship you’ll get a certificate which will get delivered on your postal address. 

The internship program is open to all and anyone can join the program without any prior skill test which somehow decreases the credibility of this internship program. That’s why it is suggested that if your purpose is to learn only and not the certificate then you can simply buy the recommended books and gain knowledge on your own without spending the extra money on suggested online courses.

Is COE at Thapar University really good? Are there opportunities for internships?

JG
Janki Gupta Posted On : August 7th, 2023
Studied at Thapar University (2019)

COE is one of the best branches of Thapar University offering a plethora of job opportunities and exposure to students. Sparing a few professors, the department is blessed with some of the best faculty members. 

The internship scenario specifically is great for this branch and one of my friends at Thapar University told me that 5 of his batchmates received internship offers from Microsoft IT. Other companies offering internship offers included Expedia, Snapdeal, Royal Bank of Scotland, ARM, etc. The students received stipends in the range of 20-40k per month. Most of these companies offer PPOs to their students.

Additionally, the research internships are great. One of my friends had the opportunity to intern at IIT Roorkee after his 2nd year. Many others got selected at IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, Kanpur, Guwahati, Ropar, Gandhinagar, Mandi, etc. The reputation of Thapar University is such that it plays a very positive role in the selection of students.

Overall, the brand value of Thapar University makes it possible for big companies to offer lucrative packages and roles.

What is the experience like at the summer research internship at IIT Gandhinagar?

AS
Arpita Sinha Posted On : March 2nd, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2019)

Studying here my classmates and I have experienced a lot of things, during our summer internship. Four months of research for a particular project at IIT Gandhinagar under Professor Chakraborty were indeed the best days of our life. Don't feel hopeless comparing it with other IITs. This institute, like the rest, includes everything you would require for your course. If you're concerned about the labs, they are photonically sensored proving how advanced they are. Some students were granted 24*7 access. It is advised not to fiddle with any instruments there as, at the end of the day, you're at an IIT.

Nothing matches our experience over here as it was the most excellent time of our life. Also, putting more efforts into everything will show better results. You would have to do the research yourself as your work would be closely observed. In case you'd require guidance somewhere, you'll always have help. If you're there as an intern, you'd not be handed over a big problem. Instead, what comes your way would be a tiny part of the problem. 

Considering my personal experience, I had to examine an idea allotted to me. Succeeding this I was allotted and gained access to the lab. 

We managed to attend a good number of presentations and workshops as, by the time an active semester was on. These workshops and presentations concerned mechanical engineering, chemistry, control theory and sustainable energy. This was the technical and the scientific part of it. 

On the other hand, discussions about Indian card and board games, Indian history of science, short films, etc. were held. The students here are intellectuals and your conversations with them would be unique. You won't feel as if your time has gone in vain, instead you will learn a lot of things. 

Therefore, do grab the opportunity you get to be at IIT Gandhinagar. Don't buy anything that tells you about new IITs, instead, experience it yourself and gather some memories. This institute focuses solely on research. Spending time here is definitely worth it.
