Hola Junta!
Internships are an integral part of our college lives, perhaps the most important of all. During the preparations, we come to know our flaws, it is during this time we indulge in serious healthy competitions, we come across a lot of saanps 🐍(who are exposed as soon as they become CM on CF 😛). We get ample support from our seniors and the online world to prepare for the internship tests, but what is missing is the knowledge of what happens inside the internships. After getting summer sorted and before the internship begins, the phase is the most chill, and we often lose grip on some important requited concepts. More importantly, we are unaware of the principles and practices used in industries. Although these are not a must-have before the internship begins, they can provide you a headstart and improve your chances of getting a PPO!
Matrix, IITG brings to you an exclusive series, "Inside the Internships," where we interact with the students who did their internships in hotshot companies and managed to steal the PPO offers.
First, in the series, we present the experience of Jatin Dhingra, a final year Mathematics major at IITG who successfully completed his internship at Rubrik and got a PPO too!

Hola People!
Exams are finally over, and it's time to relax a bit. This time, after the even semester, each of us needs to dive into the pool of competition for internships, placements, research SOPs. The graduating batch, been there done that, now looks forward to starting their corporate/research life. The alumni busy with their releases/research waits for the weekend beer and hangouts. Among all these, freshers are struggling with their compact online semester.
Let us get together and discuss bits of our lives the way we used to do in our hostel rooms, busting all the stress.
Matrix invites all of you to our discord server, a server exclusively for the Maths Junta!

Its a place for each of us, for second years to seek tips on internships, third years about placements, graduating batches to connect with their batchmates and impart knowledge (you know the word), alumni to have light talks over their weekends, and freshers to learn more about the life of a Mathematics and Computing student at IITG. And for each one of us to rant without hesitation.
Get on board and adorn this hideout. See you on the other side!
