The dream to get into a car or motorcycle manufacturing firm is a dream for many. In fact, very few actually realise their dreams. The questions of how, where, when, whom to approach are always left dangling in the air. In India, if you aspire to be a workforce in an automotive company, here are a few internship courses. One may or might not get a permanent job in the company but on your resume, it will shine bright that you have studied a Mercedes-Benz formulated course or interned with Ola. Here is a list of companies that offer an internship, experience or full-time program in India in the auto space through either their study courses or by campus selections.
MG Nurture
Furthering its commitment to serving the community at large, MG Motor India has announced the MG Nurture Program – a first-of-its-kind student support program. The initiative will equip around 200 students with a market-focused skill set and make them future-ready. In these testing times with extended lockdowns, MG Motor India’s initiative is aimed at imparting the student community with skills that will enhance their career prospects in the future. In return, the carmaker will also benefit from the creative and innovative ideas of the country’s youth. The program also has a special attraction and will be providing a few scholarships for higher studies as well. A visit to MG Motor’s Linkedin page will allow one to understand the selection process of this two-month-long program.

Ola Campus Connect
Bengaluru-based ride-hailing service, Ola, is honouring its commitment and hiring interns alongside its full-time employment offers. Ola intends to fulfill the internships and has virtually on-boarded 38 candidates from prestigious MBA schools like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, FMS, and XLRI among others as part of its internship programme. These candidates will be working across verticals like mobility, electric mobility, financial services, and international business. Perhaps, getting into Ola, Uber or Meru became a bit easier with this internship.
Mercedes-Benz Mechatronics course
The new Advanced Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics (ADAM) course helps candidates in upskilling themselves with the latest technological advancements. The program has been conducted in close collaboration with the government and private educational institutions. The Mercedes-Benz Mechatronics course is a one-year program and has been in force since 2002 in India. As this is an annual exercise, only 20 students are allowed in a batch. More than eight such students are presently working with Mercedes-Benz India, full-time. At present, Mercedes doesn’t provide an internship program through this course.
