How to Get Research Internships for beginners!

Nine open tabs of "how I got my internship" posts. Zero applications sent. This fixes that in three modules.

You saved the post. Never opened it again.

Opened a professor's lab page, read the first line, closed the tab.

Asked ChatGPT for a cold email template, got "kindly consider my candidature," didn't send it. Good instinct, for the record.

Rewrote your CV five times. Still don't know if it's any good.

Told yourself you'd start "next week." That was three weeks ago.

I've watched 100+ students sit in exactly this spot. It was never about being lazy or behind. Nobody ever showed them the sequence — which professors are worth the email, what the first two lines need to do, what makes a CV get read instead of skimmed.

That sequence is this course.

Module 1 — Cold emails that get replies Subject lines, length, and what the first two lines need to do before the professor even reaches your ask. Built from emails that actually converted, not ones that "should" work.

Module 2 — CV that gets read What professors actually skim for in the first six seconds. The line that gets a CV binned. How to write experience you think is "too small to mention."

Module 3 — SOPs that sound like you, not a template How to write specific instead of generic — the difference between an SOP that gets remembered and one that gets skimmed alongside forty others.

Plus — three companion books, one for each module, full of real writing samples, worked examples, and prompts that walk you through drafting your own CV, email, and SOP line by line. Not more theory to save for later. The exercises are the course.

Who this is for

1. First to fourth-year undergrads in science or engineering who want a research internship — CSIR labs, IITs, IISc, IISERs, or international programs like ThinkSwiss. This course is a good starting point even if you have never interned before.
2. Master's students with some experience applying for research roles abroad.
3. PhD students who want to know how to reach out to profs.

P.S: Did you know that 81% of the people who pass up on working on their applications with us the first time come back within the next 3 months? Therefore losing out on the compounding benefits of upskilling and employing the correct strategies sooner :(
