As a 3rd year CSE student of BIT, Mesra, what should one do to land a good internship program?
My brother closely followed the internship recruitments at BIT Mesra and here are his insights about the recruitment criteria of some of the major IT firms-
- Directi - To intern at Directi, you must be good in all the areas of CSE. You must be an excellent algorithm programmer with a good knowledge of technical concepts and a project to support the same. Very few candidates are able to clear the first onsite coding round during the placement process and 1-2 get selected for the internship program.
- Microsoft - Microsoft recruits students who are excellent at C, MS products and GeeksforGeeks. The multiple rounds during recruitment consist of- objective questions round, coding round, telephonic rounds, paper-pen coding round and interview. You must be good at C, must prepare well for Data Structures interview questions, and must have a good knowledge of technical topics. A good CGPA of 8-8.5+ definitely gives you an edge above the other students.
- Goldman Sachs - The first round consists of questions on numerical aptitude and technical understanding. Your understanding of C++ oops concepts/C++ output questions/Data structures/Complexity/OS/DBMS is tested. This round is followed by a GD round. Make sure to listen carefully to all the instructions provided during mock GD. The 3rd and 4th rounds are technical and HR rounds respectively. Mention only those areas as your strengths in your resume that you are actually good at and confident about. The questions for this round include- Math puzzles, OOPS concept in (C++/Java), Data structures /SQL queries/Open ended questions/C++ concepts[Constructor/destructor/Virtual functions]/ Java Concepts.
- Besides these, students also go for off campus internships at IIT BOMBAY, PlayEzio and other startups.
Thus, to grab an on campus/off campus internship during your 3rd year CSE from BIT Mesra, you need to work very hard and sharpen your technical knowledge and coding skills.
What is it like to do an internship at ISB Hyderabad?
The Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad provides a stimulating and friendly environment for interns, with many opportunities for networking and professional development. The school hosts a variety of seminars and guest lectures, which can be valuable for making connections and learning about different industries. One intern was able to secure an internship at General Electric by approaching a panelist at a seminar. Additionally, ISB Hyderabad is a great choice for those interested in starting their own business, as the campus offers resources and support for entrepreneurs.
Interns at ISB Hyderabad typically engage in data collection, research, and analysis as part of their work. The nature and scope of the work can vary depending on the project and the professor's goals. For example, an intern may be tasked with conducting web research and summarizing their findings, or they may be involved in more in-depth analysis and insight generation. The work may seem tedious at first, but it is an essential skill for a career in management consulting. Interns are encouraged to be creative and have frequent discussions with their professors.
The ISB Hyderabad campus is beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of green spaces and areas for relaxation. There are also ample options for food and leisure activities. The only downside is that the school does not provide on-campus accommodation for interns.

Which college is better for doing internship - Gandhi Medical College or Osmania Medical College?
Both GMC and OMC are equally good medical colleges for internships in terms of the exposure they offer. However, if I had to choose one between the two, I would have opted for GMC.
Students of OMC have to roam around from one hospital to another for completion certificates and waste a lot of time in the process. There are students from all over Hyderabad, and sometimes traveling to the hospital takes 45 minutes. For example, the maternity hospital is at one end while the Psychiatry department is at another. This results in many technical challenges and students might find it difficult to get their degree certificate
So, if you have the choice, go for an internship at Gandhi Medical College because here everything is under one roof so you will bewill be saving a lot of time and effort.
How do I get an internship in NIMHANS Bengaluru?
The first and foremost step is to determine the right branch for yourself. If you want to pursue a research internship some of the common options are
- Psychiatry
- Neuro-bioinformatics
- Neurotoxicology
- Neuro-microbiology
- Psycho-physics
- Neuro-virology
Once you have decided on the branch, contact the concerned professor and express your interest in working with him via email. If the professor agrees, there might be some additional formalities depending on if you are a student or not. As far as I know, you don’t require a recommendation letter. Seek help from the professor or the seniors regarding other formalities. The Academic sections in NIMHANS take care of all the formalities. You might have to pay some fees for doing the internship if you are not a student.
Hope this helps you!
What cutoff (CPI) does Goldman Sachs keep for ECE students in internships at MNNIT Allahabad?
My cousin belongs to the 2020 batch of B.tech at MNNIT Allahabad. Goldman Sachs visited the campus for an internship for their batch. The general selection criteria for this internship are:
- You must belong to either of these branches: BTech All, MCA, MSc
- You must have a CPI of 5 or above
If you are preparing for getting selected at Goldman Sachs, just focus on your problem-solving and coding skills. Also in their technical round, you will be asked Quant questions that are very hard if you lack practice in that. Yes, Quant questions are the type of questions that are asked in CAT exams.
However, it is quite common to see students with a CPI of 8 or higher being selected most. This is the harsh truth, thus you might see your name in the first shortlist but not in the second list as your CPI is lower. Hence, work hard enough to get a CPI of 8 or higher and emphasize more and more on your coding skills as the coding exam for Goldman is very tough.
Do IIIT Allahabad students apply for internships? When?
Several companies visit the IIIT Allahabad campus to recruit summer interns from among third-year students (during their 5th and 6th semesters). Most of these students are offered full-time jobs after the completion of their summer internships.
During the final year, most companies come to hire full-time employees. However, some companies do offer the students a 6-month internship that they can complete during their final (8th) semester. These internships may or may not come with full-time job offers. Usually, though, students are hired as full-time employees after completing these internships.
Those who go for 6-month internships during their final semester use the project that they worked on during their internship as their final major project. The candidates who end up staying on campus during their final semester work on a major project under some faculty.
