Internship

Before applying for internship please read the following.

  1. Please check whether your research interests are aligned with our group’s research focus. It is best to apply on the link provided here rather than sendng emails for two reasons. First, the link here asks for specific information that we need to make a decision on your intenrship applications. Second, it is near impossible to reply to individual emails due to a large volume of applications. We look at all the applications which come via the form on this webpage. You will hear from us if you are shortlisted for the interviews.
  2. You should be willing to spend at least 12 weeks in person at IISc, without any other commitments. If you need to attend classes either in person or online, or you are planning to work on multiple internships or projects concurrently, then this internship is not for you.
  3. Part-time, remote, and short-terms internships are not available.
  4. We are not working on embedded systems, VLSI, IoT, data analytics, applications of AI.
  5. We are only looking for people who can (a) work with systems and have tinkered with Unix/Linux Operating Systems, (b) understand computer and networ architecture, (c) can debug system failures, (d) can write shell scripts to configure, design, and automate experiments. Your skills must be demonstrated by open source contributions or online public code repositories.
  6. If you are theoretically inclined and interested in pursuing theoretical problems arising out of system design questions, then you must have very advanced knowledge of probability theory, stochastic modelling, linear algebra. Your knowledge of these subjects must be demonstrated by showing in person courses in your college and a good academic performance. Please note that this is a very rare route for internship with our group.
