An engineering graduate doing a content management and operations internship- mismatch, right?<\/p>\n

Well, a lot more is yet to come.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s students do a lot more than just attending college– freelance assignments, internships, and some even start their own ventures while in college only! I too have this zeal in me to get a sneak peek of this professional world through the right blend of academia and industry.<\/p>\n

Engineering taught me about technical know how, but more than that, what I learned from engineering was how to learn<\/i>. When I decided to change my domain to management, I told myself that I would not let the scientific anxiety die in me, for I wanted to develop the art of scientific management in me.<\/p>\n

While going through the bundle of concepts in communications domain (just for the record, I am an Electronics Engineering graduate), I always pondered its real life usage and economic feasibility. In my opinion, and I have always felt this, knowledge of a subject matter is useful only if you know how and where to use it in real life, otherwise it only helps in being a hero<\/i> in technical<\/i> discussions. To my amazement, this seems to be quite helpful in management studies as we are always forced to relate what we study to the real life.<\/p>\n

Now coming to my internship with Internshala, I feel it gives a track to test-drive my knowledge and skills. It is a stint to provide me with grounded insights as what these books and presentations are in a corporate environment and an opportunity to witness (and contribute, however small) the journey of a start-up. I hope this internship would give me an opportunity to meet different people with diverse experience and learn from them. I believe this experience will give me a story to tell– a story with truth which is beyond university life.<\/p>\n

As Internshala says “internships that matter”, I believe my internship here would certainly matter!<\/p>\n
