Ans: Not sure about apprentice officers but if you hire them as interns, then you need not deduct any PF since interns are treated as contractual employees as per law and PF is not applicable.

Ans: Hi Arvind, this is a niche field and the government labs or phamaceutical companies may be the best bet. He can also see if there are any relevant openings listed on Internshala - internshala.com/internships.

Ans: Hi Krishan,

I have heard good reviews of IBS Hyderabad but I am not sure if it counts in the top b-schools of the country. Since you are a fresh graduate, an alternate path for you could be to gain 2-3 years of work experience and then do your MBA from a top-B school since an MBA is a significant investment of time (2 years) and money (fee in lacs) and it stays on your resume for ever. An alternate that I have seen prospective MBA students explore on Internshala is to start their career in management via placement guarantee courses (https://trainings.internshala.com/#specializations), build work experience, and then go for an MBA from top notch b-school in India or abroad. So my recommendation would be to evaluate both the options and choose the one that makes the most sense for you.

Ans: 1. Try your alumni network - especially in the country you are going to be interning in. Many may offer local support.

2. Checkout dedicated scholarship websites like Buddy4Study and see if there is a scholarship towards it

3. Earn the funding yourself - do a few work from home internships via Internshala before summer and earn stipend that can cover for your foreign internship expenses.

4. Check with the university that you get accepted into if they offer any monetary support.

All the best!

Ans: Google advertises its internships on its career pages regularly - I would advise you to keep an eye out. This article (https://blog.internshala.com/2016/04/how-to-get-an-internship-at-google/) also has more information on application process etc. Also, while work experience is not a pre-requisite, Google would certainly expect a strong command over programming and a good portfolio of projects while hiring you as intern. All the best!

Ans: I have not come across any case where having a tattoo stopped anyone from getting or doing an internship. Of course, an internship is a professional work place and I hope you are dressing accordingly - as long as that is happening; it should be OK to have tattoos.

Ans: It depends on whether and how you communicated this to your internship mentor/manager - if you informed them in a timely and professional manner then it should be OK. But if it was leave without notification, then some organizations may take a strong view of it and take a strict disciplinary action if there is no valid explanation of absence.

Ans: It is mandatory in all our placement guarantee courses but not in smaller certification courses but I STRONGLY advise that you do the assignments for your own benefit because only then you would be able to practically apply the concepts and build hands-on knowledge of the subject which is essential for getting any internship or job these days.

Ans: Hi,

For students, the certificates serves as a proof of interest (in the field) and proof of work since all our courses come packed with lots of practical assignments and projects. This practical knowledge comes handy when you apply to internships or jobs on Internshala and helps you stand out from other candidates who may not have any experience in this field. Hope this helps.
