Testimonials

I had been selected for an internship at Karel Electronics in Ankara, Turkey via IAESTE. This internship experience has been one of the best ever, all thanks to IAESTE and its associates. Starting from the Incoming Team at IAESTE LC Manipal, to me bidding adieu to Turkey, the process was smooth, well planned and complete. The overall experience I had at Turkey was a memorable one indeed, and will always be cherished. I would like to thank IAESTE for this internship opportunity. It has helped me enhace not only my skills and helped develop me as an individual, develop more friendships and provide me with a memorable experience for life. I strongly recommend this internship and thank IAESTE for the opportunity.

I am a fourth year student of Computer Science and Engineering in Manipal Institute of Technology and I interned at Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland during the summer of 2017. IAESTE India LC Manipal guided me in preparing my nomination and forwarded all the acceptance documents I would need for the visa application. The Local Committee members of IAESTE Glasgow helped in finding an accommodation for me and made sure that I had a comfortable stay there. They also organized trips and events to make the experience even more memorable.

A wonderful experience often becomes a great memory that cannot be erased over time. SimilarIy feel for my first ever internship abroad through IAESTE. This internship had much to offer,not only in technical terms but also in non-technical aspects. I came to know a lot about different cultures because of the other interns who came from different parts of the world. Becoming friends with them and celebrating different moments of joy together was one of the most cherishable experiences of the internship.

My internship in Oman has been an enriching journey. Besides the atmosphere, the food and the generously welcoming people, the wholesome trip is worth it for anyone who would visit Oman for the first time. Being one of the most developed countries, learning about the industry and the work environment has helped me understand the worldview of the working population. The everlasting sandy deserts with the iconic Qahwa and dates shall be the image I remember whenever I think of Oman.

It was a complete experience of not only learning at the internship but also living through the Belgian life. Meeting the existing international community of interns in Belgium helped me get a global perspective and make a lot of lifelong friends. I’d like to thank IAESTE LC Manipal for giving me this wonderful opportunity and for all the help for making my internship experience successful.

Overall I’d like to say thanks the people in Bangladesh as well as the people here in IAESTE who had given me such a wonderful opportunity to intern abroad. This internship not only concentrated on the technical aspect but helped me to break the global barrier and gain certain life skills and values which will be helpful for the rest of my life.

I completed an internship at the Kasetsart University, Sakon Nakhon, Thailand from the duration of 24 th May,2018 to 24 th July,2018. The internship involved us building an Artificial Farming cabinet. Each day brought different circumstances and I had the opportunity to make decisions on my ownand learn from both my successes and failures. The internship was a worthwhile experience and I feel that it has prepared me well for my professional career. The hospitality from the teachers and the students alike at the university was very warm and cordial. We were engaged in a lot of team building exercises such at different sporting activities, literary meets and dinner parties. I also had the opportunity of going on a trip across Thailand along with fellow international interns. Overall my 2 month long trip to Thailand was a very rich experience both educationally and culturally. Finally I would like to thank IAESTE for giving me this opportunity to gain an lifelong cherishable experience.
