Do IT Companies Pay Stipend To Summer Interns

I am conducting a market study on IT companies that offer stipends to freshers for project work. Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated. :idea:

Hi, well, what exactly would you like to know? Any specific points you have to work on?

Well, some companies do give stipends and some don't. The maximum I have seen IT companies pay interns is Rs. 5k, and this is at the highest end companies. On average, good companies pay Rs. 3.5k. But it's important that you ask them if they are willing to pay. At times, you don't get a stipend until you ask for it.

Hi,

I have to present how many IT companies are paying stipend to freshers. In my company, it is not a practice. Another point to consider is that if it's in the policy, then you pay a stipend; otherwise, it's a cost to the company. Any suggestions?

I'm targeting the following list of companies:
- TCS
- Infosys
- Lucent Tech
- Motorola
- Mascom
- Induslogic
- L&T
- Wipro
- CSC
- Birlasoft
- Satyam
- Bharti Telesoft

Thank you.
