Greetings!

Hope you all are doing well.

Beginning with preparation for internships can be a particularly difficult task, especially when it comes to questions such as what resources to use, where to find them and how to start with preparation?

The Internship Preparation Booklet has information on preparation resources
and tips, especially for, but not limited to, third-year internships. In the second edition, we have updated the booklet with more resources and have covered profiles like core, FMCG and design in a more detailed way.

As we concluded, one of the best sources of this information would be our seniors, who have gone through the process and successfully acquired internships in different domains. Thus, we have included their personal views, resources they used for preparation, and resumes that helped them secure their internships.

Please use your LDAP enabled G-Suite account to access the booklet through

All the best!
