I am second year student in nit durgapur.My stream is electronics & communication engineering.I want an internship in core companies. Please suggest the procedure.I would be thankful to you.

The application forms for internship in different private and public sector technical companies is available from month of March. Most suitable companies for internship for Electronics and Communication engineering candidate is Bharat Sanchar Nigam limited.

You can visit official website of BSNL for online application to internship programme for ECE candidates. Generally, fee structure for six week internship in BSNL is 6000 rupees. While applying for internship, you will have to submit important documents like letter from college, your academic marksheets and proof of identity.

If you are doing B.Tech in Electronics and Communication, it is a very good thing as it is one of the most preferred courses in India at the moment. It has been so since many years and the course has its own charm and importance when it comes to market demand.

The 2nd and 3rd years of B.Tech requires the students to do formal internship from possibly core companies and this brings me to your concern/query. If you wish to do internship in any of the core companies then try the following:

1. You should have some sources, jack or references in the companies where you wish to do your internship form. This way it is easier to build contact and find some lead.

2. Try applying from outside to these companies such as NTPC, BHEL, BEL, ONGC, NHPC etc. Sometimes they give out advertisements in newspapers such as "Employment News", however they generally hire for full time employment and therefore it is really difficult to get internship opportunities form them.

3. But it is not true that they do not give internships. If you try hard it would be achievable. Online portals such as Naukri, Monster, Shine etc may also prove helpful in checking for internship openings in such core companies. It is also important to note that core companies private ones also can be checked by you if you are interested.

4. Companies like LG, Samsung, Nokia etc always look for internship graduates who can prove of some worth and value to them. Again try finding some sources in these companies from people who may be working there or have some internal contacts or jacks. Such contacts really help in getting placements.

However, please be open for other options as such. BSNL for example provides internships to ECE graduates and all you have to do is apply by yourself by visiting their local office. Similarly, other telecom core companies also consider ECE graduates for internships.
