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.

INTERNSHIPS ABROAD DURING ENGINEERING COURSE

I recommend internships to be done abroad during your engineering course rather than doing it in your country. Now a days there a lot of engineers and there is no job for all the engineers. So how are you going to be different from them? Every engineering student during their engineering course undergoes internships and industrial visits. So for you to be different from the rest undergo an internship abroad. You can meet different people from different cultures and you will get better exposure. You can also do industrial visits during your internship.

Everyone wish to do internships abroad but they just don't know where to begin. They search for internship in search engines but are not satisfied. IAESTE is the where you have to begin. The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) is a student exchange organisation that provides students in technical degrees (primarily Science, Engineering and the applied arts) with paid, course-related, training abroad and employers with highly skilled, highly motivated trainees, for long or short term projects. More than 80 countries are involved and exchanging over 4000 traineeships each year worldwide. Each country participating in this program has IAESTE committees through which the exchange is done. In India, Karunya University and MIT are the two IAESTE committees. Be a member in the committee and you can apply for paid internship abroad. Sometimes offers for non-members are also available.

But those who didn't get selected for internship abroad through IAESTE should not be disapointed because there is another way. Different types of internships can be done according to the course that you have done or you are doing. You can send emails to professors of colleges abroad that has a research department of your choice. You get selected according to the project and seminar that you have done and your aggregate marks. I recommend Europe for doing internship because there are many technical colleges which has research department.  If you are lucky they may reply. Then ask about housing expenses etc. If you are lucky they will fund you your housing expenses and medical expenses. They will do everything for the visa work. Internship can be from 1 week to 6 months. You may even get paid for the internship and may even give you a job for you to join after your engineering course. Every engineering curriculum has a time period for doing internship. If you have been selected to do internship please discuss with your course tutor. If everything is fine you are lucky. I have written previously about "best country to do internship".

Have you ever thought about studying abroad where you could meet people coming from different cultures? At least have you thought of visiting a country of another continent and have fun? Well it is a dream in almost everyone's mind and it is not easy to rub it off. Well then why don't you study abroad. Well its too expensive and not affordable. To study in UK or US, an expense of at least 25 lakhs (50,000$) is incurred. Its because the tuition fee and living expense is high. How about a country where the tuition fee is nil? Shocked? 

Well it is true and Germany is the country you are looking for. There are two types of colleges in Germany. They are government colleges and private colleges. In private colleges there is tuition fee and it is about 10-15 lakhs (30,000$). Well in government colleges the tuition fee is free. It is because the population is less compared to the resources and the government follows a centrally distributed system. It is free for international students too. Certain colleges have tuition fee which is a small amount and it depends on the course you are opting.

Courses are taken in English and German. You can choose the right study program that suits you. If you know German you can easily find a part time job and you can earn. There are scholarships too which takes care of your expenses like housing, medical etc. That means you can study there absolutely free and can earn too. There are courses which starts either on winter or summer. The number of colleges available on winter is high compared to that on summer.

Application forms can be downloaded from college sites and you can send your resumes along with the the filled application form. Since the tuition fee is free a lot of students apply from different countries and so you must atleast have 7/10 CGPA and should be good in extra curricular activities. If your marks is below 7 then you should write IELTS, GRE etc and get good score in it to compensate your CGPA mark. Writing IELTS, GRE etc depends upon the collegere quirements. There are different types of projects that you can do during your engineering course and remember that the project you choose is a criteria for selecting you.

BEST COUNTRY TO DO INTERNSHIPS

It depends on the course. If you did engineering, then i would recommend Europe. Because there it is easy to get placed in a company. In other countries like USA it is expensive and they will send you back just after your internship because they give preference to their citizens. It is not easy to extend your visa.

I would suggest Germany because there the resources are more and the population is less. They need more manpower and the probability of getting a job there is high and there are a many companies in Germany. The rush towards Germany for doing internship is increasing rapidly.  Surveys shows that Germany is the safest country to study and work.

There are a lot of technical colleges in Germany. Almost every technical college has a research department where interns are required. They prefer international students with good academics. Send your resumes to the head of respective departments. You should email the professors with a good format. If you are selected then you are lucky because you just have to pay your flight tickets. Everything else is free including accommodation, food etc. You will also get a stipend every month. With this stipend you can travel around in Europe and visit famous places like Paris etc.
