Embarking on my internship in the Czech Republic was a summer highlight, etching unforgettable memories. The newfound friendships and mesmerizing vistas made it truly special.

Heartfelt appreciation to IAESTE LC MUJ for making this experience possible. Beyond the joy, the internship enriched me with profound learning, altering my perspective as a student. The professional insights gained and challenges overcome have significantly shaped my journey. As I reflect on those transformative weeks, I am immensely grateful for the opportunity, the people, and the lessons that have forever left their mark on my life.

Embarking on my IAESTE internship in Germany, guided by Professor Hoffmann, felt like unlocking a vault of progress through a door of opportunities.

Beyond professional growth, it immersed me in a dream-fulfilling, obstacle-conquering society. IAESTE became my international launchpad, fostering cultural exchange and lifelong friendships. Under Professor Hoffmann's mentorship, I navigated new intellectual terrain. This journey equips me with cross-cultural strength and readiness. Thanks to IAESTE LC MUJ and Prof. Hoffmann, my story now embodies an uncharted map of promise and aspiration.

I'm delighted with IAESTE LC MUJ's growth since 2013. As the former faculty advisor (2018-2021) and now Director-International Collaborations, interacting with foreign and MUJ students has been enriching.

Kudos to the present faculty advisor, Dr. Arun, and the committee for fostering international exposure. Hosting foreign interns involves dynamic challenges, but I believe the team will excel. My unwavering support is with the President and team—make every exchange count and offer the best service to interns. Best wishes!

Now that I am home, I just wanted to let you know that I had the best time during the eight weeks I spent in India and enjoyed a summer I will remember forever.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the coordinators; I felt they did an incredible job of looking after me throughout my stay, during which we shared amazing experiences. Please share this message with all the coordinators who took care of me, as I would like them to know how grateful I am for all their help and support. It is a bit of a shame to have left India, but I hope to see many of you again at some point in the future!

During my stay in India, I had the pleasure of making many international friends. The people were incredibly hospitable, and I received a warm welcome from IAESTE LC MUJ. They consistently offered their assistance whenever I encountered difficulties.

India's diverse cultures and stunning landscapes left a lasting impression on me. Visiting the Taj Mahal during sunrise was an incredibly amazing experience, making it even more beautiful. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Santosh Patil for providing excellent supervision and support. He offered valuable advice and assistance whenever I faced challenges. Overall, my time in India was the most enjoyable and memorable experience of my life.

The thought of living and exploring Germany felt like a dream come true! I was thrilled to seize this incredible opportunity. During my time there, I connected with people from all over the world, learning about their unique cultures and customs, all while working in a dynamic and inspiring environment.

My two months in Dresden, Germany, were nothing short of amazing. I immersed myself in the city, met fascinating new people, picked up valuable skills, and got a firsthand experience of the vibrant work culture. I made amazing friends, and together we embarked on adventures—kayaking, trekking, and catching movies. The highlight? Attending two unforgettable IAESTE events, including the Munich Weekend and the Prague Challenge, where we made memories that will last a lifetime. The work experience was equally fantastic! My colleagues were incredible, and we learned and grew together, making every day exciting and rewarding. A huge thanks to the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology at TU Dresden for offering such an extraordinary opportunity to work, learn, and thrive! When I was leaving Germany I was sad that why it didn’t last any longer but all good things come to an end!? No I don’t believe that, good things keep happening to you so keep trying and keep enjoying ;)

My internship in Germany through IAESTE at GSI was truly an unforgettable experience. Stepping out of my comfort zone and traveling alone to a new country was both exciting and daunting, but every moment was worth it. IAESTE was incredibly supportive throughout, ensuring I had the help I needed at every step of the journey.

The work environment at GSI was not only enriching, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation for German culture.

My internship in Prague was an incredibly enriching experience. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by a vibrant mix of talented interns from around the globe, creating a supportive community that felt like a second family. Prague itself offered a perfect blend of historical charm and modern innovation, making it an ideal setting for both personal and professional growth.

I collaborated with professionals from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds thanks to the shared vision and opportunities provided by IAESTE LC MUJ. Every conversation and interaction felt like an opportunity to learn something new, whether it was about local customs, international work practices, or cross-cultural teamwork. It is an experience I will carry with me forever.
