How and where to land up an internship

[crixus]

I am a junior undergraduate pursuing electrical engineering and needed some help as to where should i apply for summer 2012 and whether industry exposure is important or university research intern is suitable for me at this stage..

I am based in India :)

Many thanks in advance

I can't speak to your particular circumstances, but my youngest nephew followed my path to chemical engineering. He managed to land internships at a local paper mill three summers in a row and had a good job waiting for him (also in industry) before he even graduated. If you want a good job in an industry, it is nice to be able to show the recruiters a stable track-record in industry.
