If you have been scratching your head while searching for Science internships only to get the drowning feeling , you have now struck some luck here. I am going to explain the right places to look for a Research internship.
Any student can understand the value of Research internships. An internship from a known institute can land you a better job or better chances of getting into the PhDs in the best institutes of India and Abroad. Research Internships are offered by all known institutes of India like the IITs , IISc, IISERs, DU,JNU, JNCASR. The mere idea of working at these renowned standards of excellence is enough to excite anyone. Many of you must know about these but what you don’t know is , how to learn about them when they are offered without searching every single website. And I am going to help you with that.
Being aware is the most important thing here. You need to know the application deadlines, the admission criteria and other things. You got to be ready to pounce on them right when they are offered. You must never forget how competitive these internships are. So you got to brace yourself with all the pre- requisites and skills that would fetch you those internships. There are paid internships as well as unpaid ones. You can do summer internships, winter internships or project works that roll throughout the year.

They have a 2016 post about internships in Biotech and it includes almost every internship offered in India. There are Expert interviews and other guides about studying in foreign countries.
