Some information on the process and procedure to apply.
  1. How to apply for the internship?
    Drop an internship request on the mail ID available on the website, or apply through your college.

  2. Were you required to take multiple follow-ups or the concerned department/ person was quick to respond?
    Multiple follow-ups required along with telephonic convos. That is always better regardless of the organization you are applying at.

  3. When should a person start applying, especially if there is a long procedure in place or any filtering criteria/ stages?
    Mid-Feb to March for Summer internships starting in May/June, along with an updated CV.

  4. Do you need any intervention in the form of approval/ request letter etc from your institution before applying to this place?
    Not really. Always desirable if you do have one.

  5. Any other information you would like to add.
    If you are looking for a multi-dimensional training experience, this is a good opportunity. Projects are mostly in sewerage, slum improvement, infrastructure development areas. The employees do have an updated knowledge of essential softwares (maybe due to a comparatively higher rate of periodic replenishment of employees here as compared to other organizations).
