Covers how to identify the right professors and labs, write cold emails that get replies, structure your SOP, and time your applications across IIT summer programs, CSIR, DBT internships, and fellowship schemes including IASc-INSA-NASI and KVPY. I received the IASc-INSA-NASI Fellowship twice and interned at IIT Madras and IIT Hyderabad as a direct result. I know what these applications look for and what kills most of them before they are even read. Optional: share a draft cold email or SOP paragraph in the invitee question and I will review it live on the call.
