- How to apply for the internship?
SMEC (India) Pvt. Ltd. approached the placement cell of my college (SPA, Delhi) in October, 2020 for hiring students for a service contract of 3 months but due to some issues from their side, it turned into an internship.
- Were you required to take multiple follow-ups or the concerned department/ person was quick to respond?
Since, they approached themselves and were in need of people to work on the ongoing project, selection process was extremely quick.

Start applying 2-3 months before for a summer internship starting in May/June, along with an updated CV.

They claim and give you false hopes but nothing of that sort happened with me. Also, I am not sure if it was really because of the resource constraint due to pandemic situation as I was told by them.
