HOW TO E MAIL A PROFESSOR FOR AN INTERNSHIP ABROAD?

The most important thing is you should be very careful while writing the mail and the words should come from your heart. Send mails to selected professors instead of sending a lot of mails to all professors names that comes in Google. Sending mails to selected professors increases the probability of getting a response from them.

1) You should start applying from September because later all the good colleges get filled with interns and the deadline for scholarships is near the end of November.

2) Create cover letter and resume by yourself and ask for opinions from seniors and professors of your college.
a. Your cover letter must be brief(10-15 lines)
b. Mention your field of interest. You can also mention about your project and industrial visits. You can also mention the subjects that u have learnt which is related to your field of interest.
c. Write briefly that internship is part of your curriculum. Mention the allotted period of time for internship. And specify that it should be done under their guidance.
d. The resume should be of 2 pages. Your CGPA must be highlighted. You can also mention your project and seminar topics.
e. Try to connect your area of interest with the professors work in the mail.
f. If u have liked any of his recent papers u can mention that too.

3) Get a list of top 200 universities from the internet.

4) Choose a country.I would recommend Germany because it has a lot of scholarships and tuition fee is free in many colleges. Next i would recommend France.

5) After choosing colleges check their international ranks and decide.

6) For each college find their website and find the faculty of your area of interest. Try to understand the professor by reading his papers and books.

7) You can apply to 2 professors of the same department. Send the mail to the 2nd professor just after a couple of days from your 1st.

8) Its best to mail them late night so that your mail will be their first mail in inbox when they log-in.

9) Its best to send just 1 mail to one professor. Don't mention any names in Cc or Bcc.
a. Change your area of interest according to the professors.
b. Don't mention anything about funding or money in the first mail. Its better to mention later after there is a response.

10) Now repeat these steps for your preferred colleges in decided countries.
