Explore real internship stories from Parul University students—from working at Coca-Cola and ISRO to coding for Google Summer of Code and designing on-campus campaigns. A glimpse into careers before graduation.
A Glimpse Into the Real World—Before Graduation
There’s a unique energy that fills the campus during internship season. Library tables are booked early, phones buzz with interview calls, and canteen conversations often begin with, “Have you updated your resume yet?” But beyond this hustle lies something far more important—a student’s first real taste of the professional world.
At Parul University, internships are more than a line on a CV. They are powerful learning journeys—of exploration, experimentation, earning, and evolution. Whether in engineering, design, technology, marketing, medicine, or management, internships come in many forms. And every student walks away with a story worth telling.
Coca-Cola Internships: When Global Brands Call
When seven MBA students received internship offers from Coca-Cola, it wasn’t just a name-drop—it was a career milestone. Their time at one of the world’s most iconic brands wasn’t spent shadowing from the sidelines. They actively worked on consumer behavior analysis, market distribution research, and real-time marketing strategy formulation.
What they gained was more than industry exposure. They witnessed global brand management in action—an experience that will shine in any boardroom or future interview.
From Parul to IIT Madras: Engineering Meets AI in Healthcare
One biomedical engineering student secured a prestigious research internship at IIT Madras, working at the intersection of AI and medical diagnostics. Between semester breaks and late-night research calls, the student explored data analytics, sensor technologies, and their real-world applications in health tech.
It was a powerful reminder: world-class research isn’t reserved for postgraduates. It begins with curiosity—and a platform that encourages it.
Google Summer of Code: Global Code, Local Talent
A computer science student from Parul University made it to the coveted Google Summer of Code (GSoC)—a global program where students contribute to real-world open-source projects. Selected to work with the OWASP Foundation (a leading name in cybersecurity), the student developed tools used by developers worldwide.
The $3,000 stipend was just the beginning. The real reward? Writing production-level code, collaborating with mentors from across the globe, and contributing to solutions that matter.
ISRO Internships: Reaching for the Stars
When one student’s interest in rocket launches turned into a hands-on internship at ISRO, the dream became real. From working on satellite telemetry to engaging with orbital data, the internship went far beyond textbooks. It offered rare access to India’s elite space research environment—an experience that shaped the student’s ambition to serve in national space missions.
On-Campus Internships: Where Growth Begins at Home
Not every impactful internship involves moving cities. Some of the most transformative experiences happen right here on campus.
Students across disciplines intern with university departments like Branding, Admissions, Admin & Outreach, and My First Friend. Whether it’s designing posters, running social media campaigns, managing VIP events, or assisting freshers during onboarding, these roles are dynamic, real, and often stipend-supported.
From gaining digital skills to building confidence and ownership, on-campus internships offer professional growth within the university ecosystem itself.
What Internships Teach You
Whether your internship is remote, unpaid, or in an unexpected field, what truly matters is the transformation. Internships teach students how to:
-
Speak with confidence in meetings
-
Own their tasks—even under pressure
-
Ask meaningful questions instead of pretending to know it all
-
Receive feedback and grow from it
In every role—technical or creative, clinical or corporate—students emerge more responsible, more curious, and significantly more prepared for life after graduation.
The First Step is Everything
It doesn’t matter where you begin. What matters is taking that first step. Because the journey from campus to career is shaped not just by the companies you intern with—but by what you do with those opportunities.
From Coca-Cola and ISRO to IIT Madras, GSoC, and even right here within university walls—our students have stories of initiative, grit, and impact. And long after they graduate, these “internship diaries” remain defining chapters in their lives.
At Parul University, we don’t just prepare students for the world.
We introduce them to it—one internship at a time.
