Yes, ISI Kolkata MTech CS coursework include an internship. You need to do an internship in industry or in academia, during the summer after your first year. There are three types of internships.

Industry Internship - Companies recruiting through ISI Kolkata placements, also select interns. MTech CS students have done internships from Google, Samsung Research Lab, JP Morgan Chase, Reliance, etc. Students receive an average stipend of around INR 65,000/month.

Internships from Universities - ISI also gives the option to do internships from other institutes. Many do their internships at universities abroad. Students also go to tier 1 Indian institutes such as IIT, CMI, etc. 

Internship at ISI -  Students also have the option to do internships at ISI. 

After first year, you will have summer internship and in second year you will have placements and dissertation. If you want to do an additional internship, the only time will be winter after the first sem.

One of my friends graduated from NLSIU and after reading some online reviews by the alumni here are the things that I came to know about.

  • You can intern at law firms like Fox Mandal, Amarchand and Mangaldas, Trilegal, Khaitan & co., J Sagar and associates, AZB Partners, Luthra and Luthra, Dua associates, etc.
  • These are the top law firms that deal with corporate law, merger and acquisitions, real estate, capital funds, private equity, energy law, and many more.
  • You can also try smaller law firms at the beginning of your career and then keep moving to the bigger and better ones. 
  • Explore different fields of law for a better understanding of the course in the final year. 
  • Try criminal, civil, corporate, IPR, arbitration, etc., and be ready to face any work from these fields.

You can also contact your NLSIU seniors or lecturers as they will have the better, more appropriate information to suggest better ideas and places.

Do NIT Trichy students intern at Microsoft?

MD
Megha Dhariwal Posted On : August 31st, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2015)

Microsoft visits NIT Trichy every year to look for students who can offer internships. The company visits during the 7th semester for the placement season. If we go by that logic, Microsoft hires interns who have just completed their second year and are about to start their fifth semester. The position of an intern is usually open to the students who are pursuing ECE and CSE.

Coming to the experience one gains, it varies from person to person. In the past, interns have turned down PPO offers from Microsoft.

It's a much sought-after degree at Vignan University. My brother pursued the same and did his MS later. There are two ways to get an internship in the IISC Bangalore. 

  • First, make an application to the Indian Academy of Sciences Summer Research Fellowship program and choose IISC in the institute preference option. 
  • Second, simply email a professor and try to convince them to let your daughter intern at the IISC. 

My brother chose the second option to get his preferred spot.

Do companies offer PPOs or internships to third years at KIIT?

MS
Meera Sarkar Posted On : September 6th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, and Engineering, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2020)

One of my cousins graduated from KIIT. According to him, there are some things you should know about KIIT’s placement methods. Let me share some of them:

  • The companies will start surging in from your 6th semester as at the end of the 3rd year.
  • Most of them offer an internship to students which might later convert into a PPO, based on your performance during the internship.
  • Some companies like Mu Sigma, Reliance, ITC offer full time work, right from the start. 
  • My cousin is currently in the 8th semester and she too did an internship.
  • Companies that offer internship cum PPO (Performance-based) are VMware, Amazon, Highradius, Lavelle network, Autodesk, Hindustan Unilever, Ericsson, Quikr, HP, HCL, etc.
  • Companies that offer full-time with mandatory internships are Deloitte, PWC, KPMG, Optum, Novartis, Incture, Odessa, Accenture, Wipro, Capgemini, Cognizant, IBM, etc.

If you get an internship in the 3rd year itself and you are enjoying working there, then you should give it your 100%. Many people don't get full-time offers and by the time their internship ends, it becomes the end of the placement season.

KIIT won't allow you to sit for any other companies once you get placed until and unless the package is 1.5 times more than your current package or if it is a premier company.

How can we get internships at IIT Bombay?

HS
Hamza Shabir Posted On : March 13th, 2023
M.Tech in Electronic Systems, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) (Graduated 2014)

If you are a B.Tech 3rd-year student (or even in 2nd year) and you want to apply for an internship at IIT Bombay, the best way to do it is by contacting the professor. You need to follow certain steps to apply for the internship:

  • Identify the area you want to work on. Make sure you have a good interest in the area, good knowledge of what is currently happening in your area of interest, a good grade in the subject, and a decent CGPA (or percent marks).
  • Go through the website of IITB and the corresponding department. The website lists details of all the professors, their contact and the area of research. Identify the professor who is doing work in your area of interest.
  • Prepare a good resume highlighting what you have achieved in the area you want to work on. If you are in the early or middle years of B.Tech you might not have too much to highlight on. In those cases, you can mention the good grades you got in the subject you want to work on. Even a seminar or presentation that you have taken related to the area will be a plus.
  • Draft and send a mail to the professor. The mail should be catchy, crisp, and to the point. Don’t write too many and don’t write too less. Highlight what you want to do, why you want to do and what have you done so far. Attach your resume also. The professor may not reply to you for the first time. You can send a reminder mail maybe a week later. Even after sending a couple of emails if there is no reply, try calling. (Be careful here. Some professors don’t like directly calling them. You can call some of his students doing research under him and inquire. Normally his student details will also be on the website).
  • Once you come under the notice of the professor, he might or might not have a phone interview and ask you to come as an intern depending on your performance.
  • You need to get the consent of your college to do the internship at IITB. You can ask the professor about the formalities for it. 

Though it seems simple to read, it will take a considerable amount of time, particularly finding a good professor. So, if you want to do an internship six months from now, you should start as soon as possible. You can always take the help of the faculties in your current B.Tech college. If there is any faculty who has direct contact with any of the professors in IITB, that will be the best way.

You can bypass all the above steps by getting a recommendation from the faculty. If you successfully complete an internship, it will make the professor happy, and he might be willing to give a recommendation letter, which is very valuable for your higher studies.

When and how to apply for a winter internship at the IIT IISC and IISER?

SR
Sanjukta Roy Posted On : October 21st, 2021
Studied at IISER-Kolkata

If you haven’t already worked with a research group or under a professor during your summertime, IISc would be a little difficult for you. 

There are a lot of professors and postdoctoral fellows who are enrolled in a subdiscipline at IISc. So any kind of internship will give you a little edge over others to be selected for winter internship. 

If you are a scholar at KVPY or INSPIRE or NIUS, you might have better chances but the statement of purpose matters as well. Usually, you will have to send a mail with your CV and the statement of purpose along with a list of courses that you have completed to any of the professors who are related to that sub-discipline. You must also remember to apply early in September and if it is feasible for you, you must decide on a topic, duration, accommodation before October.

IISER - For IISERs, it would be advisable to go for Mohali or Bhopal. The application process is quite similar. September end to October is considered to be the best time to decide on a date and duration.

IITs - a few of them conduct sponsored winter programs but there is no logic in going to an IIT to study theoretical mathematics. You can rather go to Kanpur and Powai and the application procedure for both of them is the same as above.

If you wish to pursue cryptology, cryptanalysis, economical models, number theory, ISI and CMI would be considered better when it comes to exposure and experience. For complex analysis, and astrostatistics, you can go to IMSc, ISI, IISc, and CMI. You can opt for mathematical biology at IISERs and IISc.
