between. I used to go for lunch with my fellow interns who

were on the same floor at about 1:30pm. Post lunch I would either meet my guide or others from whom I had to
gather information. I would also show my work up until then in the post lunch meetings. Post the meetings I

would work on the new data/ information received and improvements/ changes suggested with a coffee break in

between. Most of the interns were directed to leave by 5-5:30pm. My day would end at 5pm - 5:15pm max as my

manager had especially directed me not to stay beyond 5:30pm.

❖ What are the challenges faced during Internship?

The main challenge was availability of people. As everyone is busy with their day to day tasks it is difficult to get

their time. Sometimes needs do arise for clarifications from certain people who are either on leave or working in

the field. Coordinating the availability of various people for various information need was difficult.
