How I Got This Internship
I started apping around Aug’24, via linkedin, via cold mailing and through application forms that came in on mails, telegram groups, and company websites. Cold mailing works only if you mail about 10 companies a day, and works better with univ apping than companies. I approached company HRs that were IITB alums as well. For both company and univ intern applications, referrals help you get an interview, via a professor you worked under or an alum etc. I gave a couple of interviews in Sept’24, one of which was for L&T. A week later I got a call for another round, after which they gave me an offer letter.
Preparation Resources
I prepped for ML via specialisation courses, revised core courses with similar content, and mostly just the notes that I’d made while studying for them. Leetcode is a must for entering the interview rounds.
Work / Project
My task was to verify and optimise a Retrieval Augmented Generarion (RAG) pipeline in LangChain. My team was building a very specific tool for crystal simulation of batteries and needed a knowledge retrieval AI system that I was helping build.
