“How I got an internship in DRDO without any contacts or letter of recommendation?” & a Cover Letter
A first hand account of a student’s dilemmas and fights to grab an internship in a prestigious institution, DRDO. Shekhar shares how he decided to go on his own and also shares with us the perfect cover letter that helped him land the internship, in his own words.
About Author: Shekhar Jain is a student of M.Sc Electronics and did his graduation from Sri Venkateswara College, Delhi University. He has a strong interest in spreading information and is passionate about different aspects of Material Sciences. He aims to become a teacher in future or a social worker. In his own words, “Rest depends upon God.”
For all of us in our college, the real hunt for internship began in January. We started bugging our seniors to provide us with valuable contacts and necessary tips to help us grab our coveted internships. As usual, the seniors were at their usual bests and they motivated us and helped us with many important tips (like forwarding CV to different companies, search Internet for contacts/mail-ids and etc.). But nothing concrete was coming out of the conversations except gentle pats on our backs and the ever-green divine set of words from the seniors that “Don’t worry bro. Ho jayega”. Time was running out really fast and it was already mid February. Even then, we had no clue what we were going to do. So I decided to go my own way and after thinking for a while I decided to approach companies/professors by mailing them individually. So, when I sat down to do exactly that I realized that the first thing required was a decent cover letter and a CV as an attachment. After some initial hiccups, I finally managed to write a cover letter and a CV and sent it to my friend Niharika for a review. This was necessary since I wanted those to be as error-free as possible and to make sure that all the things were written well. Luckily, she found many mistakes and did required editing for me. After few exchanges of mails I had my CV with very few errors and a decent looking cover letter as well.
I must mention that without her tedious editing efforts, the job would have been tougher for me. For example, in my original cover letter I started with a ‘Hello Sir’. Niharika changed it to ‘Respected Sir’. Similarly at many places punctuation errors and more effective words were used by her. No big edits, but these small changes can work wonders, as actually happened with me.
After I finalized my CV and the cover letter, came the toughest phase of the entire process of applying for the internship. I had to get contacts, mail-IDs of professors, HODs and details of places where I can apply for my work. I had a strong interest for a research related internship, which I knew would give me a better perspective for my PhD or my teaching career in the future. Google, as always, came to the rescue. I looked into every Research Institute’s website and collected email-IDs.
I knew the time had come for me to act as level headed and matured as I could be. Because even a tiny mistake during the process of mailing the professors/HODs/institute contacts will cost me big in terms of my career. I never mailed my contacts right after scooping them out of the internet. I had to judge its validity and, in turn, its importance to me. I also took precaution to save myself from unexpected accidents of mailing a single person more then once. The last thing I wanted was to spam my potential employers. I chose a day to mail all of them at once and did so. This apparently-simple thing took at least two three weeks to complete.
Things were not much brighter preliminarily, as I was repeatedly getting negative replies. I reached a point when I decided to compromise it all and settle for something else. The very next day I received a mail from SSPL saying that I have been selected for interning with them.
I accept that I was really lucky with the selection in SSPL. Getting into SSPL or any other laboratory of DRDO is not as easy as it may sound here. One has to be really good and impressive, with his communication skills as well as the academia for getting a chance in DRDO.
I realized later that the single thing which got me this internship was my habit of not quitting in any circumstances. Perseverance and trusting my own abilities paid. In the end, I got to spend quality time at SSPL and also did a project titled “CNT and Graphene: Growth and Characterization”.
For all those who are in similar situation as I was last year, I wish you all the best and would urge you not to quit. I am also attaching the cover letter that got me in SSPL – hope this helps. Please don’t copy paste it blindly – rather understand how one should write an effective cover letter without any jargon and general vagueness. Remember relevance is the key.

Respected Sir,
I am currently doing my M.Sc. in Electronics under Delhi University. I completed my graduation from Sri Venkateswara College, which is under Delhi University as well, with an aggregate of 74 percent marks.
I have a simple query: Is it possible for me to carry out some quality work as a part of my Summer Internship in your prestigious R&D laboratory?
The area of my interest is ‘Semiconductor’ and my future research pursuits will be in the same field. I have also done an add-on course in Nanotechnology, during my graduation. In the future, I would like to carry out research in this field and possibly use my skills to disseminate my fair share of knowledge to others.
In this aspect, you should know that I was a part of an experiment to observe and analyze the scientific aspects related to solar eclipses during the total solar eclipse of 22nd July, 2009. The experiment which we performed during the eclipse consisted of recording the variation of light intensity with time with the help of an improvised device consisting of LDR (Light Dependent Resistance). In another similar experiment, I was able to record shadow bands (Shadow bands is a phenomenon which occurs just few minutes before totality and after totality during the eclipse. In this phenomenon some bands of variable thickness, from few centimeters to few millimeters can be observed on floor and walls), which was done by a setup of a camera recording the changes which occurred over a white sheet where the sun’s light was falling. Our group was one of the three groups who were able to record the shadow bands.
A complete report on our solar eclipse experimentation was covered by Dr R. Ramachandran, Chief Science Editor of ‘Frontline’ magazine. Dr. Ramachandran himself is an NSTS Scholar and a PhD in Theoretical Physics from TIFR. The article can be seen here: http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2618/stories/20090911261804100.htm
The most interesting part in our whole experiment was that the whole group devised their instruments on their own by using available resources like easily available household products. We also gave successful presentations of the experimentation in three different well-known colleges in and around Delhi.
Thanks for your precious time. For your kind perusal, I have enclosed my curriculum vitae with this letter. I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.
With regards,
Shekhar Jain

hi priyaa
Bhai padh le abhi bht sari Priya mil jayengi aage
this is what DRDO says about the intern ships issues
source:
http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/English/index.jsp?pg=job_student.jsp
“”Student Training/Projects
We receive innumerous requests in connection with the summer internship/industrial training/project work in our organization i.e. DRDO. We are happy to know about enthusiasm of students to do their training in the organization. However, we would like to make you aware that DRDO comprises different laboratories spread across the country, the detailed addresses of which are available in DRDO website.
Each laboratory has a different field of research, development and core competence like armaments, materials, electronics, heavy vehicles, missiles, life sciences etc. about which you can get an overview from the website. As these are a cluster of laboratories under the aegis of Ministry of Defence, each has different training policies based on their security restrictions. The Director of the concerned lab is the only approving authority for such type of industrial trainings. We therefore suggest that you should directly contact the Director of the concerned lab in which you desire to get your training through the Head of your College/Institute. Any further clarifications regarding the training process and policies may also be obtained from the concerned lab in which you desire to have your training from. “”
Hope this is serving the needful.
And go to the individual website of each lab from the above mentioned link.
thanks
shekhar
Thanks Shekhar, very helpful of you :)

i am eee 6th sem how can iget intership in drdo
Hi Rohitha,
You may directly visit DRDO’s website.
http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/English/index.jsp?pg=homebody.jsp
There is a list of labs that fall under DRDO. Many of those labs require interns and you can find all the details on their lab page. Select the labs you want to apply to and proceed further.
Regards,
Team Internshala
I have sent mails to Director, INMAS, DRL but there is no response from their side. What should I do? Does they give any response to our mails???…please help…..
A lot would depend on the ‘quality’ of the email that you write (refer to the sample SOP above) – looking at the comment above I think there is a LOT you can improve on.
Please surf around on the portal a little – you should be able to find something relevant.
Hope this helps. Wish you all the best!
Many thanks

hi shekhar. i m doing btech 3 yr. with material science and metallurgical engg. and i am also interested in doing my summer training from DRDO.To which lab i should apply and to whom i should send my CV . i m also applying for iitm internship programme……….tell me about the procedure.please reply…
thank you
mr shekhar i am a first year student of b.sc programme course from delhi univ. i want to utilize my semesterbreaks so can you please tell me if i can get an oppurtunity to intern at drdo or any other such institute in delhi.i have also attended workshop on semiconductors.
plz guide me the right path………….
i shall be waiting for your reply
Hi Sir. Could you please give me an idea as to what kind of projects would be approved by IITm for the summer intern?
Replies:
Neelam : They don’t have time to send Acknowledgements. As already mentioned by the DRDO they receive many application for internships so it will be better to wait for a while. It is never a confirmation that one will get internship just by mailing cover letter as CV. i myself sent atleast 10 mails to different institutes and just 3-4 replied me. Be patience and work hard.And my advice will be wait for a while before writing another mail on same ID. Things will definitely change. Best Of luck..
Hey Gaurav: i think procedure is well explained in the article. And rest all the labs takes intern differently.For that you have to read their respective web page.
i think this link will be helpful
http://drdo.gov.in/drdo/English/index.jsp?pg=region.jsp
see the link and click lab details and decide where you wants to go. for more details see the kind of work they do. Best of luck :)
Hey Shubham: If you are a first year student then i will say getting a chance in DRDO is bit difficult. I will rather suggest, go to different professors and associate professor who are doing work in the respective field.And ask them for work. There are many professors who encourage students and for giving them exposure to there labs. Go to Delhi university website and see there.And interact with your seniors. there must be some teachers in your college who has some grant and project and they can give some work to you. anyway you can apply to different different internships listed in the portal. BTW If you can tell me your college then i may able to help you more….
hey laksh :
possibly your question cant be answered.(may be someone from IIT M could answer this )But yeah i can tell you a way by which you will get to know what kind of work is going in IIT M
open google scholar and then type IIT madras in search bar. you will see many research papers. play around with the date and decide yourself :)
link to google scholar
http://scholar.google.co.in/
.
hey gaurav: sorry for the late reply.
I will say go to DRDO’s lab and see details for different labs. They have given some details about what kind of work they do.
hey shubham i will say it is difficult to get internship in DRDO at this level but you must try. And if you are a delhi university student then i will say interact with your seniors an d teachers. These days university and college profs are getting good decent projects and they encourage students for doing some good work. so by interacting with your teachers you will come to know what kind of work is going on in your college and where you can adjust yourself.
hey laksh I think the lind of question you have asked is pretty difficult to answer, may some one from the university could answer this. but yeah what all i can suggest you is go to google scholar and then type IIT madras and see the kind of papers have been published from IIT M in past one year. This will definitely helo you in deciding what you want. I know application deadline for IIT M is over but you can try this for deciding project for other internships.
god bless all.
best of luck to all :D

Hey aarohi i think you must explore this portal a bit more and i think above post will definitely help you in understanding the things.
kanika upto my knowledge IIT bombay is a very good place to do things in robotics. NSIT do some research in robotics. Rest i am also a student so dont know much. i think someone from the portal may able to answer this query.
:)
hey nitin i think you can read previous replies for answer to your query
Shailender I am also a student and still learning. if that question was intended for me then i will say i cant answer your query. My knowledge is really limited. Sorry.
I’m an Engineering student from reputed college of Indore, IET – DAVV and I’m in 3rd year of my engineering (Information Technology) and searching for better opportunities at Indore , such as RRCAT, and some private companies and most of the pvt. companies at Indore don’t provide internships. So what to do ? Where to find good internship at Indore or somewhere else ??
You are at right place, stay tuned on Internshala and something relevant must be up soon. We may not have something in Indore per say though.
Many thanks

well Raghavedr Not really hard to find. Just go onto respective website and see the project they have done in past and list of ongoing projects. you will get to know everything.
Priya ECE is a very vast subject and if you are saying internship of your field then you are doing injustice to yourself. Decide your interest first and then chose the company. And i really cant tell you about the companies since i myself go over the google/bing/ask/yahoo whenever i want to know about the companies. So i will also suggest you same. It will not take much time.

Hi shekar,
i am vishnu rajan doing my final year mechanical at sastra university.
my areas of interest are vehicular aerodynamics and general aerodynamics. To be frank i havent done only one project but its not in this field. moreover i have been trying to get a summer intern at many places in the automobile industry but it went in vain . once i read your blog , i figured it would take more time. getting in drdo is tough. but with my achievements , i might lose the edge . suggest a solution that might help…

H Vishnu.
Really a nice question you have asked for. I am really happy to see a different question. A simple question: what do you think how many students have something to write in there CV apart from academic credential they have ??
quite a few. So whenever you have applying any where keep two three things in mind and they are
You are really good with your presentation and words. No grammatical errors are accepted.
show how much organize you are.
Make sure that your cover letter is showing something about your potential rather then showing some material which have copied from somewhere.
Be loyal Crisp and short.The other person has good understanding so you dont need to explain like if you are writing things to a child.
And write a good SOP, Statement of Purpose. Tell them in simple and polite words about your plans and why do you want to do internship at there place….
Review all the things from multiple angles. Life will be good.
In short SOP and Cover letter are the most important part for people who dont have anything to write in there CV. Focus upon them.
Best Of luck. Must write back if advices were helpful to you :D.
Hello Sekhar bro,
I am very much interested in doing research under DRDO in some specific Labs. The complete idea and procedure mentioned by you is helping me a lot in the process.
But I would like to have a look and read the Cover Letter you had sent them which got accepted. That would be a very big help for me which would help me write something good.
Dear Read the complete post cover letter is there in the post itself.

Hello shekhar
i have completed my m.sc. (biotech) in sept. 2012. Now i want to work at drdo as project work (in order to enhance my research experience). Am i eligible to get so
Hi Aditya,
Yes you are more then eligible to do so. And i will suggest you look for some JRF in DRDO and try to contact some scientist who is interested in taking interns and cleary mention the time period you want to work in DRDO. Also if you just want to enhance your work experience then go to some organization like IISc or IIT rather then DRDO. If you are doing research at DRDO then getting recognized for your work is difficult. Rest keep trying. Be happy best of luck.
Hii
I am currently in my third year of electronics engineering at iit bhu varanasi..my grades are pretty good and i want to apply for internship in SSPL at DRDO..can you help me by sending me the email ids of professors in SSPL?
Hi,
I am third year student studying in BITS Pilani. I am interested in applying to DRDL, Hyderabad. Their website mentions that students must contact the director directly through the head of the academic institution you are studying in. Does this mean i need to speak to my college Dean and ask him to write a letter on my behalf.
@Lakshmi Mukundan

Hi – Did you read the previous comments of the students and replies of the author? Please do so. Even then if your query persists, then you can contact the author on Facebook/LinkedIn for more guidance.

hey shaik,
First a general it is never too late and search a bit to found things for yourself by this way you will get to know so many things which no one can tell you. It is about looking for meanings in a dictionary. When you look for one you read ten.
and next you can definitely go into space research. Keep looking on ISRO website. For past two years they are releasing vacancies for scientists. And if you want to become a scientinst in this stream only then start preparing for GATE and score decent marks and enroll yourself in some PHD course. OR start preparing for GRE and go abroad to do some research. Things will be great with you :D
Rest
Best of luck
Shekhar Jain
shekhar,
thanx for the info….it is all there, but one thing i would lyk to ask, is, whether we have to apply to sslp through our institute, as the DRDO website says, or first we mail them on our own, and if any positive response is got, then we send application in hard copy???
plz elaborate, coz i will apply accordingly…
thanx
Gagan What i did was I just sent my application and when they gave a positive response I went there with my documents and a copy of mail. :) But i will suggest go via your institute :)
Thanks :D
