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

Should I take chemical at BITS Pilani or take a drop?
One of my friends studied Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani. According to him, it is a really tough stream. It is suggested not to drop a year instead ensure that you work very hard.
- Spend over 12 hours self study every single day for a year.
- You should be able to get under 1000 rank in JEE next year which might be worth taking a year drop.
- But if you have secured a much higher BITSAT score, and if you think you won't be able to work this hard, then simply take whatever you are getting at Pilani.
- Try to graduate with a CGPA of 8.5+ and go for an MS/Ph.D. in any area of your interest.
Herewith I'm providing the basic details for BITS Pilani :
| PARAMETERS | BITS PILANI |
| Tuition Fees | INR 1.78 LPA |
| Placement Percentage | 99% |
| Average Package | INR 17 LPA |
If you opt to drop and secure admission in an IIT, you will be getting only one degree after 4 years. Whereas, you can get 2 individual degrees from BITS after 5 years. There is not much of a difference between BITS and IITs. It is certainly better than the new ones. The top 5 or 6 IITs are better than BITS but letting go of one more year might not be a wise decision.

How's the environment in IIEST Shibpur?
One of my friends shared his experiences with me. Following are the experiences which may cover two questions, considering this question.
Students asked here about the environment of IIEST Shibpur; the answer is as follows. It highlights the two main environments: The Physical Environment and the other is Social Environment.
- Physical Environment: It has a green and clear environment surrounding the institute, as green plants completely surround the campus, and there are several lakes inside the campus. However, it is quite rare in other institutes. The famous Acharya J.C.Bose Botanical Garden is very near to this institute, and the campus is full of scenic beauties. Additionally, the institute is not located in the much-urbanized area, but you can get local shops nearby and Avani mall in a very little distance.
- Social Environment: Students here maintain a friendly atmosphere. Seniors are also very helpful. Thus, this institute has a peaceful campus environment, which assures an enjoyable life in their 5 years of study. Students can participate in the sports and games conducted by the college administration; they can meet in the clubs that assist in making a diverse network by sharing individual skills and knowledge. Moreover, this institute has a conducive atmosphere for academic studies.
If you are concerned about ragging the non-Bengalis student, then the answer is a big No. My friend has told me that he had a friend from U.P, and both of them never faced any type of severe ragging in this institute. IIEST is strict enough for this of incidents; thereby, ragging is imaginary in this institute. But you must show respect to the senior students.
