Application And Confirmation Form For An Internship: Fill & Download for Free

I ‘ll share my personal experience of interning at Solid State Physics Laboratory (S.S.P.L), D.RD.O, New Delhi :1. To secure an internship at D.R.D.O is no big deal. Since it is a government organisation and works like any other P.S.U (apart from the fact that the entire campus is under a very tight security), it is quite easy to secure an internship if one has proper contacts.2. I applied for S.S.P.L due to a couple of reasons. First and foremost was the fact that it was in Delhi itself. Secondly, I was not particularly interested in pursuing some serious research and only wanted a tag of D.R.D.O on my resume.3. D.R.D.O usually provides internships in the summer vacations only. But if one has good contacts with either the scientists or the H.R personnel, then one can intern in any month.4. To apply for an intern position at D.R.D.O, first one has to prepare a quality cover letter which mentions one’s field of interest ,work experience and most importantly, references. Although, no one in the H.R department bothers to read the cover letter, one still has to send the letter as per the organisation’s instructions.Along with the cover letter, one needs to attach N.O.C from his or her parent organisation (university or company), 2 Passport sized photographs, Resume and a copy of Student I.D proof. Here is a copy of my cover letter5. The entire set of documents need to physically mailed to their address, latest by January. Although students send their applications as late as May, still one cannot take any chance.6. Once the applications are mailed, one simply needs to wait for about 2 months, till the month of March or April. I remember being quite tense during these months since I wasn’t sure of being selected. Do remember to ask your reference to give a call in the H.R department and inform the authorities regarding your internship.7. Once the application gets accepted, one might receive a mail from the concerned laboratory regarding the confirmation of his or her internship and joining date. Here is the copy of my email. I remember jumping with joy and excitement on seeing this email.8. After one gets free from college exams, he or she needs to visit the D.R.D.O campus for document verification and allotment of I.D cards. Also, the H.R officer asks about one’s field of interest. Accordingly, students are sent to different departments and under different scientists.9. The only thing that concerned me was the laid back attitude of several scientists in D.R.D.O. They were treating their job like a regular 9–5 job and weren’t serious about research.10. The canteens serve very good food and at highly subsidized prices. Also, one cannot carry any electronic device inside or outside the campus. If caught with any kind of storage device, then be ready for some serious trouble.11. If one is lucky to find a good mentor and successfully completes the allotted project work in given time, then only he or she is eligible for an internship certificate. I was allotted the V.L.S.I department under Dr. Harish Rawat. The topic of my project work was ”Crystal Vapor Deposition of atomically thin MoS2″.Here is a pic of my internship certificate, which I received after working hard on my project for 4 weeks and after submitting a satisfactory report to my guide.My only tip for you guys is not to run after the D.R.D.O tag like I ran and rather learn something useful from the institute. I strong believe in the following saying:“If you need to achieve something substantial in life, you need to fight hard for it.”

There are multiple ways to do this but the best two ways are:-You can ask your placement department to send a letter on behalf of you, requesting internship. That letter should only for asking the availability of internship. After confirmation you can send your resume to them.You can ask a person who is aware of your work and personally did remarkable work in the feild of science, to send a letter on behalf of you, requesting internship.You can ask any former employee to send an internship request letter.These are the best ways to get internship in ISRO.Apart from this, you send internship request letter by yourself to the PPEG of ISRO. This can take huge amount time to get accepted by them.Thanks!Himanshu Satone

As with every other Indian intern, Facebook visited my university:They conducted an online coding test on InterviewStreet and shortlisted around 10 students.2/3 days later they contacted me at about 7 PM and informed that they had scheduled an interview at 11 PM!It was a telephonic interview and I had to write code on collabedit. The interviewer was very friendly. He introduced himself and told me about his team, then we discussed one of my projects. I was asked to solve two algorithmic questions which were of average difficulty.I had my second interview a couple of days later. Again the interviewer introduced himself, we discussed another project of mine and solved two algorithmic questions.Next morning I received a mail confirming the offer!
