Welcome!
Thanks for showing interest in doing an internship with me.
If it is fine for you, please express your interest by emailing to skkarthick@mae.iith.ac.in.
In the email, along with your expression of interest, you should send me a video link to evaluate your candidacy.
In the video link, following things should be there:
Make a short YouTube video (for 5 mins with audio and video - your face should be visible and the audio should be clear) and share the link (not the video) with me.
Tell your name, current year, age, department, and college details.
You have to mention your CGPA and the class topper's CGPA (this will not influence the final decision, but is used to evaluate the knowledge gap).
Highlight your achievements (if you have done some CAD models, you can show us. You may also share the pictures or videos of other projects).
What do you want to learn from this internship?
Do you know about the internship terms and conditions? (if not see the details in the next section)
What is the duration of the internship that you are looking for?
Note: The work will be mostly on experiments and computations in the field of high-speed aerodynamics. CAD model designing skill is a mandatory one to deal with the experiments and computations. Most of the experimental work will be carried out in the Hi-SEAL lab space at the IITH entrance (PG shed lab 5, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z9JiWgUKtWW4k31K8). Otherwise, including computations, events will be limited to Hi-SCALE lab space at the IITH MAE building (MAE 625-626, https://maps.app.goo.gl/wygAZ5hSoeRea5KCA).
Internship Provisions:
This is an unpaid internship opportunity. You have to find a suitable alternative to travel, food, and stay around IITH.
IIT Hyderabad does not cover expenses related to travel, food, and stay.
You will receive an experience certificate and a recommendation letter upon successful completion, which will be valuable for future job opportunities or higher studies applications.
Adherence to IIT Hyderabad rules and regulations is mandatory.
A comprehensive 6-page report summarizing your work and findings must be submitted at the end of the internship.
You are required to provide an endorsement letter from the Head of your parent institute confirming your participation, along with a cover letter agreeing to the terms and conditions. Please enclose valid proof of your identity (photograph, address, email, and phone number) for our records.
Neither I nor IIT Hyderabad will be held responsible for your actions or activities during the internship period.
If you are currently not a student, some of the above requirements may not be needed.
Internship Flexibility:
The specific topics of the internship are subject to change based on the workload and research priorities of the department.
I reserve the right to terminate the internship at any point without notice if deemed appropriate.
Only shared facilities and infrastructure will be provided during the internship.
Your tentative work area will be declared once you reach here after evaluating your learning skills and interests.
If you agree with those, kindly do the following.
Provide a cover letter declaring that you agree with those conditions and will abide by them during your stay. Also, state clearly that you are not employed by anyone at the moment if that is the case. If not submit a letter from your college (bonafide). Mention your expected duration of internship (start and end date tentatively).
Arrange a place to stay outside the campus. For food, you can pay and eat in the mess.
Provide details about you - passport size photo, aadhaar card, your mobile contact (at least 2), and emergency contact number (phone number, name, and relationship with that person).
Note: For your stay, the IITH-Kapila hostel might be available. Other hostel rooms might also be available. Please remeber that during the semester breaks, availability is always limited due to various events happening in IITH. In that scenario, I suggest you explore the PG hostels outside. (for interns and others - to stay outside the campus, Name: SRG boys and girls pg, Location of boys pg: https://goo.gl/maps/jduXiDLiewBWrkh29, Location of girls pg: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kSxLsxhtA75vF4Uc9, Contact number of owner: 70759 56395).
Once I offer a position, please reply to the same email with all the mentioned documents as attachments. Later, I will direct them to the security office for clearance so that you can come and work seamlessly.
If you just want to come and have a look around the campus before your actual internship, you are free to do that.
