As per our policy, only students who are enrolled in any institution or college are eligible to apply for internships abroad.
To be able to apply for internships, you must first become a member of any Local Committee (LC) of IAESTE India. You can do so by getting in touch with the LC of your choice and by paying a nominal fee. Once a registered member with any of the LCs, you will be provided with certain privileges by the respective local body in terms of internship offers for your field of study for you to choose from. IAESTE will provide students with a stipend that will cover their basic living and lodging costs during the stay of their internship abroad. However, travel expenses and personal expenditures must be borne by the student himself.
If there is no Local Committee present in your institution, you can visit here to view all the Local Committees and become a member of any one of them. (“here” links to the Committees tab) Procedure for selection: Once you become a member, your LC will share offers with you from various countries as and when they become available. You can choose which offers you wish to apply for, and your application is evaluated based on your suitability to the offer by a panel of experienced professors. If you are selected as the most suitable candidate, you are required to prepare an application that is sent to the employer (university or corporate firm). At this point, the employer will evaluate your application and if accepted, your internship will be confirmed.
[Optional: Since most acceptances include contact info of an LC Member from the host country, this section may not be necessary but can be included for comprehensiveness] Have another heading “Incoming student” and tag line under it “Coming to india on an internship?”
