Pin It

IAESTE training placements are available in Industrial and Commercial Organizations, Research Institutes, Laboratories and Academic Institutions covering a wide range of disciplines in Engineering & Technology, Natural Sciences and other allied subjects including Economics, Commerce, Management and English.

There are three broad categories of work offered through IAESTE for the students:

Research and Development offers:
Offers in this category are often laboratory based, dealing with specialized work. They entail some element of diagnostic analysis, testing and evaluation with some theoretical content. Such offers will normally be filled by advanced level students. These offers could also be useful for diploma, project or thesis work.

Professional Offers:
These offers entail specialized professional work and the level of skill normally found in more advanced students. They often deal with special project work, possibly in a design office, in technical management or in testing services.

Working Environment Offers:
These offers cover operational activity and usually involve on site or assembly work related to the production process. Through these placements students gain experience in a hands-on working environment.

Eligibility: You must be currently enrolled Full-time in a Bachelor's or Master's degree at the time of application. IAESTE must be represented in the country in which you are studying your degree course. Please check the Country list.

Fees: You have to remit a fee of Rs.3500 as processing charges for every successful placement. Also you are required to pay Rs.1000 at the time of registration.

Stipend: Rates of pay vary from country to country and often from company to company. Participating employers are asked to pay trainees enough to cover the local cost of living, which includes food, accommodation and travel to and from place of work.

Travel expense: You will have to meet your own travel expenses and make your own travel arrangements. Consider costs carefully, especially for long distance flights, before applying. A return ticket must be purchased before departure but do not make firm bookings or payments until you have been accepted by the foreign employer. IAESTE-India-KU does not offer any Travel Grant.

Stay: Accommodation will be arranged by the host IAESTE organisation or by your foreign employer. Details of this and any reception arrangements will be sent to you after you have been accepted for training. In several countries IAESTE National offices are student run, and in the majority of countries local students volunteer to organize social activities for foreign IAESTE trainees. Where the network of such student local committees is extensive, you will probably be met by a student upon arrival in the host nation.
