Background
Students who are studying for MCS/MCA/M.Sc. ( Computer Science ) typically have to do internship (Industrial Training) with some company for 6-months (basically their last semester of college) as a part of their degree requirements. The students are expected to work full time for the company during this period, and are typically paid a stiped by the company. At the end of this period, the company is expected to give a certificate of completion of the internship, and the student are expected to submit a project report and give a presentation in their college. These students have usually completed all the other requirements of their degree, so they do have all the knowledge that a MSc/MCA/MCS degree holder is expected to have – specifically, exposure to .NET, Java, PHP & Linux etc. Internships for a number of colleges will start in January 2010 (to continue until June 2010), so December 2009 is the right time to get students.

And other side we have lots of IT startup companies who are looking for best talent. So we are organizing an “Internship Mela” where companies that are offering internships can give a short presentation (3minutes) to the students, and then students can apply to the companies they find most interesting.

Internship Mela – 23 December 2009
‘Internship Mela’ will be held Wednesday, 23st December, 2009, in the morning, at Institute of Management and Career Courses (IMCC) campus, 131 Mayur Colony, Kothrud, Pune 411029.

The details are as follows:
All companies who would like to offer full-time 6-month internships are requested to register at the Internship Mela registration page. Note: typically, the company is expected to pay the intern a monthly stipend during the period the intern works for the company.
All students, from any college in Pune (or outside), who are doing a Computer Science degree course and who are interested in doing a 6-month internship starting in January 2010 are open. No registration is required. Just come to IMCC at 9:30am on 23rd December, 2009.
Company representatives are requested to be at the venue at 9:45am.
From 10am to 1pm: Each company gets to present to the engineers for 3 minutes. Give a quick introduction of yourself, your company, what projects you plan to do with the interns, what kind of skills you are looking for, and whether you will be paying a stipend or not, and your contact info.
In the afternoon, smaller rooms will be made available to companies who are interesting in meeting students right away. (Alternatively, companies who don’t want to stick around in the afternoon can ask the students to contact them later over email/phone.)
The idea is that this is a marketplace designed to allow companies to find students quickly.

To register as a company offering internships, please follow these steps
* Join the techstart mailing list (click on “Join this group” link on the right side of the page)
* After joining, go to the Internship Mela Registration Page and add yourself to the list there. (Click on the “Edit this page” button, then add your info just above the last line in the list.)
* Come to IMCC at 9:45am on 23rd December, 2009. Prepare a 3-minute talk that can help the potential interns decide whether they are interested in your project. Be as specific as possible. (Note: there will be no slides/projector)
* Students interested in this program – just show up at the venue at 9:30am (see details above). No registration required. Bring multiple copies of your resume.

Here is a great article on “The Algorithm and The Crowd“. It reflects on the real world philosophies on how the entrepreneurial crowd is divided and hints on what exactly needs to be taken care of. I found it interesting and thought provoking. Thus, sharing with the rest.

Startup Lunch – an initiative by Proto.in

admin — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 08:04:33 +0000

As part of Proto.in and interacting with startups, we’ve been noticing something interesting. A Startup is probably the best place to be at for a fresher or for a professional who is looking for a career boost or to experience rapid growth. But the issue is that most freshers are not aware as to where to find these startups, neither are these startups able to be part of campus recruitment processes because of their mere size.

In this process of creating a win-win situation for both passionate startups and enthusiastic individuals we present you Startup Lunch.

This is a small effort towards that direction in making it happen with the most simplistic tools in place. All you have to do is click on the name of the city that you live in, hit register and enter your company name, along with the logo and website details if you are a company, or enter your name and details and arrive at the venue if you are a professional/techie looking to get plugged into a adrenaline-pumping startup.

All the best!!
