I am a 3rd year student at IIT Kharagpur. I am a 7 pointer. How can I secure a good internship (if I can)?

Given your profile, you can definitely secure a good internship at IIT Kharagpur. However, getting an internship requires a lot of research and effort.

• The first step is to determine what kind of internship you are looking for. You have two options to choose from: research or industrial training.
• Once you are clear with the kind of internship you want, you can start looking for companies that do not have the CG criteria.
• Another way to look for an internship Is to contact your department seniors because then help you understand how to prepare and what materials or books to follow, how much time to invest in your preparation,etc.
• If you are adamant about working on a certain topic, you can contact the people that work on such projects and get the general idea about what every company works on.
• Start looking for programs if you are willing to go for a research internship.

Lastly, if you fail to get selected in the choice of your program or are rejected because of low CGPA, don’t let that dishearten you because you have an entire year to focus on academics and projects and still can work on your placements.
