First and foremost, the level of satisfaction was immense and the joy of working on a research problem.\u00a0 Most of the friends I know got in through contacts in companies but I wanted to make my way on my own. Almost every other guy told me you cannot get an internship without contacts but I guess when you give in your best; God gives you the best too.<\/p>\n

Secondly the flexible schedule, option to work wherever and however you wish to and the guidance of the professors at IIIT Delhi were great. The friends I made there and group meetings once every week were definitely something I used to look forward to. I was working with the Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing group and now my internship is officially over and yes we were getting a decent stipend.<\/p>\n

The fact is I would not have learned in any company as much as I learned here. So I would have done it even if they would not have offered me any stipend. In the long term, the learning and not that stipend will play a role.<\/p>\n
