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.

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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
