What type of your internship is?
The first thing that should come to one’s mind when he/she is planning to go for an internship is that “I am going to do internship soon, so what sort of internship it should be?”Remember don’t let your this act of hard work goes in vain, so here’s a piece of advice that can help you before you go for an internship.
1-GO FOR PLANNED (PROJECT BASED) INTERNSHIP
2-GO FOR A MULTINATIONAL COMPANY THAN A LOCAL MARKET (no matter how small their setup is)
First let us discuss the types of internship then we will go in a little detail;
There are generally two kinds of internship
1-Planned
2-Unplanned
Planned:
A planned internship is the one in which things are being prepared by the companies before hand for the incoming internees in their Industry, like they will prepare projects for interns to work on also this is a single department based internship in an industry you are not gone take a tour of entire facilities of the industry you will go to one room work their come out. However this is quite challenging one and at the end you will learn a lot, companies offering this sort of internship are generally Multi-National, Upper Level companies. These types of internships are generally of longer time period as compared to unplanned one to be very precise at least 6 weeks.A planned internship helps you in realizing that what can be your responsibilities being an engineer after graduation, this sort of internship make you more responsible and mature and your interaction with different people working in an organization help you in improving and enhancing your communication skills, the best part of this internship in which students show more interest is about a big amount of Stipend.
Companies that recently offered planned internships are
Engro, P&G, Unilever, Midas Safety, PSO, Pfizer, GSK, and Abbott.
Unplanned:
An Unplanned internship an internship for which i will say don't do it. Enjoy your holidays at home, this is a sort of internship in which you will be given a tour of different departments of a single industries but at the end ask yourself did u learn anything? Answer is nothing just wasting your time "acha yahan yeh bhee hota hai bht tyt yaar lush hai" this is what you are going to say every day but once you are out you know nothing you didn't learn anything did u?Companies offering this type of internship are generally government controlled, controlled by ministry of production. Moreover these sort of internship generally do not have any stipend.
The reason I am against these sort of internship is that they don’t help you during your job interview and when you are sitting in an interview you have forgotten almost everything just because you have visited so much departments in your internship that you didn’t understand a single thing at all and after 1 or 2 years you don’t remember anything in the same manner as we don’t remember our course after giving exams.
There is a long list of companies offering this sort of internship but I will name only few of those companies so that you can have an idea
PIA, PMTF, Lottee, Oil refineries and some other known companies.
So after reading this I hope you will be capable of deciding what to do and what not to? Internship helps you in your job while internships interview helps you in your job interview so go for it and have some real life examples of engineering and get some experience as this will be helpful to you once you enter in your Professional life.
