First day formalities included submitting a joining letter and a recommendation from the lab. Infrastructure was well maintained, as I had joined for research purposes.

All in all, the facilities and the systemic work ethics gave a good impression of how things worked.

Work environment was enough satisfied, there was an amazing team work environment and work station. The labs were futuristic and it motivated me to work hard.

Hectic schedule and very competitive environment.

How Did You Manage the Accommodation With Commuting to the Office?

The internship was in IIT, so accommodation was in the institute dorm. It took little time to walk at times.

Other Details

If I intend to stick to the academic field, research internships at universities will help me get acquainted with various research techniques, instruments and research cultures. Some universities might follow a systems-based approach to research, while some might follow a highly critical approach. Exposure to such cultures will definitely add to my experience base.
