Hey everyone! I am Abeer Mishra, a fourth-year year EP student now doing an IDDDP in Electrical Engineering. Here's how and why I applied to MITACS and hopefully answers to your questions about applying to MITACS.

shreya

Shreya Makkar - Purdue University

Hii! I’m Shreya Makkar, a fourth year undergraduate in Chemical Engineering. Throughout my journey at IITB I developed an interest for core chemical concepts and their applications in numerous domains. This made me pursue research right from my second year which progressed towards finding a research internship in my third year summer. I interned under Professor Doraiswami Ramkrishna (Prof. Ramki for short) at Purdue University.

isha

Isha Mukherjee - Gulfstream

It was the winter break of 2022. It was a mundane yet relaxing evening at home, one of the very rare days when you have nothing much to do. Being already selected as a research intern at various reputed universities including the Sorbonne University, Paris and the University of Alberta, Canada (through Mitacs), I had nothing much to worry about.

indrayani

Indrayani Tayde - IndusInd

Flashback to exactly a year ago. Day 1 was done and dusted, and I was in a state defined by zero shortlists and zero coding knowledge (or interest, for that matter.) I am Indrayani Tayde, by the way, now-fourthie in the Electrical Engineering department. In the next few paragraphs, I try to give a brutally honest account of my intern season

advait

Advait Risbud - University of British Columbia, Okanagan

gautham

Gautham Mallya - Reckitt Benckiser

Hi everyone! I’m Gautham Mallya, a final-year student in the department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay. I hail from Mumbai and have been living in Mumbai for the past 13 years. I am a show and movie buff, who also loves to play the game of chess in my free time. Also, I’m somewhat a big foodie too! I am a semi-core and semi-non-core enthusiast, so I applied to both kinds of roles when our internship season began. I finally landed an internship at one of the world’s largest FMCGs: Reckitt Benckiser in the R&D profile.

swasti

Swasti Pahuja - IDFC

Greetings, and a warm welcome to my summer internship experience blog! Whether you find it fascinating or a tad mundane will depend on your interests, but I promise to share it all with enthusiasm. So, let's dive into my journey, and I hope you'll discover something enjoyable along the way! 😊

shivam

Shivam Ambokar - JLR

Hello folks, I am Shivam Ambokar, a to-be fourthie in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I interned at JLR (previously known as Jaguar Land Rover) in the Mechatronics profile, aka, Engineering Body & Chassis.

ishita

Ishita Tyagi - Barclays

Heya, I am Ishita Tyagi, a fourth-year student in the Metallurgical Department. I have lived in three different continents and 7 different cities, so I consider myself a nomad! I had a design PoR, I was also a DAMP and a member of ShARE. I had projects in finance, consulting and a bit of tech sprinkled here and there. I started my internship journey from Day 1 Shortlists to Phase II and ironically ended up in a Day 1 company ;) If you were just as confused as me while sitting for internships - then Welcome! After making my resume I decided to try out for consulting, finance and FMCG roles because after all internships are about learning what you don’t want to do and if you’re lucky - fall in love with what you can do.

chaitanya

Chaitanya Ramprasad - Deutsche Bank

What Can I say about my experience! It’s been such a rollercoaster experience from the day I started preparing for the intern season to today where I'm done with my internship and looking forward to my fourth year and future career options. When I look back at this experience and all the things that I faced, I can just say “Guys! Anything can happen anytime to anyone. There are bad days where you’ll feel nothing is going your way but at the same time you’ll have your share of good ones. So just stay tight, Enjoy the process and in IITB Lingo what I could say is “Thoda Chill Maaro. Ho jayega Sort”

mehul

Mehul Chanda - Texas Instruments

Hi everyone, I am Mehul, a final-year student in the Department of Physics. I am from Bhopal, a city famous for its gas tragedy lakes. I did my 3rd-year summer internship as an analog design engineer at Texas Instruments (TI), Bangalore. I obtained the internship opportunity via the PT cell. TI is a frequent company at IITB and one of the most popular for people pursuing core EE. I enjoyed the various EE courses and labs that EP does as part of its core curriculum. Also, after getting a flavor of academic research in my 2nd year, I wanted more exposure. I am looking for a dynamic, non-monotonous, and challenging lifestyle, and I doubt academia can offer it. But then, I always have enjoyed solving problems. Corporate R&D in EE seemed like the perfect middle ground.

dhruv

Dhruv Rambhia - Goldman Sachs

Hey all! I’m Dhruv Piyush Rambhia, a 4th year (T-T) student in the CSE Department. I’m from Mumbai, lived here my whole life, been through it all! My interests broadly include sports and trekking but I in general enjoy anything even remotely fun for most people. Academically, I am interested in the Systems side of CS, Finance and FinTech, history and current affairs, although I have also decided to explore my long-lost love for physics if I can somehow.

Tanirika

Tanirika Roy - ITC

Hello, I am Tanirika Roy, a fourth-year student in the Chemical Engineering Department. I am a foodie and a music lover. Travelling is my second nature. Being a Punekar, I relish my midday naps. [ChE Labs *evil grin*] I like Chemical Engineering, but not enough to pursue proper core jobs requiring me to design reactors. FMCG was a viable option as a future career path because it had a good variety in their profiles - industrial research, supply chain management, product development, among others. I also aspire to pursue higher studies after my B. Tech, so the real dilemma was Research Internship vs. Corporate Internship.

Ammar

Ammar Barbhaiwala - P&G

Hey! I'm Ammar, currently a fourth-year student in the Aerospace Department at IIT Bombay. I'm a passionate aerospace enthusiast who unexpectedly ended up pursuing a non-core internship. Can you believe that until the first week of August, I had no plans of doing an FMCG internship? (The interviews for Day 1 happen in the second week of August.)

Sharvari

Sharvari Kumbhar - BCG

Hi people! I'm Sharvari Kumbhar, a to-be fourthie in the Chemical Engineering Department. I love reading and I also manage to dance fairly well. I used to play fencing, but I'm out of practice currently. I interned at BCG this summer and it was definitely one of the most fulfilling and rich (both literally and figuratively xD) experiences I have had. I will be sharing my intern experience through this blog. I hope you find this blog helpful and hopeful at the same time.

jujhaar

Jujhaar Singh - Sony Japan

I’m Jujhaar, a to-be-fourth year BTech student in the Electrical Engineering department. I fancy computer architecture, embedded systems, and programming has been a constant in my life for almost 8 years now. I also take time out for watching movies, kicking around a football, and fooling around with my guitar when I can. I was really lucky to have the chance to intern at Sony this summer as a parallel programming researcher and that’s where this blog comes into the picture.

Vatsal

Vatsal Goyal - DE Shaw

Hi, so I am Vatsal Goyal, I am a fourth year computer science & engineering student and I interned at DE Shaw India in my 3rd year Summers. I heard about the internship through my seniors. I wanted to pursue software engineering in my 3rd year Summers, and DE Shaw is among the day 1 software companies that come to insti, and that is why I decided to pursue the internship.

Hi everyone! I’m Prakriti Shetty, a to-be-fourthie in the Chemical Engineering dept. I’m originally from Mangalore, Karnataka but I’ve stayed in Mumbai most of my life. I’m currently interning in a software development profile at Goldman Sachs. I’m a huge tech enthusiast, and pretty much everything from software dev to AI to hardware to application of tech to unconventional fields excites me. Apart from tech I have varied interests, which include astronomy, reading non-fiction and listening to people’s experiences either through deep conversations or through a select few podcasts.

tanmay

Tanmay Joshi - Google

Hi everyone! I’m Tanmay Joshi, a final year student in the Electrical Engineering B.Tech programme at IIT Bombay. I am currently doing an internship at Google Hardware (India) in a core digital design profile. Let’s have a flashback and look through key tasks and events that led to me getting selected, and major hindrances. Since the actual internship experience is relevant only for people interested in working on core electrical profiles, I will also include general aspects about the internship season in this blog.

Malavika

Jai Jobanputra - Atomberg

So before I begin, I’ll give a short disclaimer. I am a terrible storyteller(and I use a lot of brackets), and it might not seem so while reading the article, but I thoroughly enjoyed my internship, the work I did, and all the small adventures we had(me and my co-interns). Oh, and my internship prep was not the best.

Malavika

Malavika - Indiana University

Namaste people. I am Malavika, a to-be final year student (🥲) in the Physics Department. I am currently doing a research internship with Prof. Srinivasan Iyengar at Indiana University.

Jai

Oshin - TATA Steel

Hello there! I’m Oshin, a 4th-year undergraduate pursuing Metallurgy and Material Science Engineering. I’m from the very beautiful city of Chandigarh. I’m inclined towards many many fields that can make for an entire blog. But let’s not depart, my main interest lies in learning finance, mainly using the algorithmic part, understanding economics, core metallurgy and just a little amount of theoretical physics.

Dhruv Arora - Optiver

Howdy fellas! I am Dhruv, a final year undergrad in the department of CSE. I hail from Indore, the cleanest city in the country and the exact opposite is reflected in my room here at hostel 9. I listen to a lot of music - from 70s rock to 00s rap to the recent pop hits, I’ve explored a lot. I used to play some football in high school, but recent experiments suggest my goal-scoring days are over. I do enjoy table tennis and am always open to a match. I am a counter strike addict, so if I’m not answering your calls I probably am carrying my friends there (:

Jai Israni - Indiana University

Hi there. I am Jai Israni, going to the final year of Engineering Physics undergrad. I spent the summer of 2022 interning in the Chemistry Department at Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana, United States.

Ananya Shankar Singh - PwC US Advisory

Hello there, I’m Ananya Shankar Singh, a 4th year undergraduate pursuing Civil Engineering (wow, that rhymes). My summer internship was at PwC, under a management consulting profile. I like reading, writing, swimming, doomscrolling on social media and listening to the same song on repeat 467 times (this is a cry for help). However, my favourite thing is talking about myself which I’m now going to gleefully indulge in. Let’s take it from the top -
