CERN 2025 Technical Student Internship - Civil Engineering

I have been a very curious person since childhood. At the age of 8, I started reading about the universe, the Big Bang, and the formation of stars in general knowledge books. In my childhood, I often used to think about the universe and would get very scared thinking about the infinite size of the universe and would get very worried about the existence of human life. A few days ago, I came to know that everything is unpredictable at the quantum level, and no law of physics can make a prediction. At this level, there is no existence of free will of the human mind. After knowing this, I remained depressed for a whole week, and the feelings of the meaninglessness of life and the hopelessness of the universe became even stronger inside me. Finally, I have overcome this feeling. I often find myself surrounded by such questions and find myself in an existential crisis. I know that I can only try to know this universe but can never know it completely. Trying to know it is the existence of my life and the whole of humanity.
Due to all these experiences, I wanted to make my career in physics. However, coming from a state background in India where unemployment and poverty are at their peak, and where there is a lack of basic facilities and infrastructure, the standard of living is very low here. In such a situation, working to earn a living is the purpose of life. My family members did not allow me to make a career in physics due to their poor financial condition, and I had to take admission in civil engineering because jobs are easily available in it. I took admission in Diploma in Civil Engineering in 2018 and completed the diploma degree in 2021 with an 8.99 CGPA, for which I also got a silver medal from Sapne College. In these three years of study, I came to know how important civil engineering is for society and how it can help in solving the current problems of the world like pollution, floods, traffic, irrigation, complex transportation, etc., and how we can create a better world by promoting sustainable energy, sustainable and economical infrastructure, effective and economic city planning, etc., and how we can raise the standard of living. Taking this motivation forward, I took admission in a Bachelor's program in India's largest private university for further study of civil engineering in 2021. I also got a 50 percent scholarship on merit. In these three years of my bachelor's, I studied all the subjects of civil engineering thoroughly and also did their labs so that I could master all the departments of civil engineering. Along with this, I also did many certification courses, like the design of reinforced cement concrete structures from IIT Kharagpur, in which I also got a silver medal. In these three years, I have also learned many software programs for designing and analysis, including software like AutoCAD, ETABS, STAAD.Pro, RFEM/Dlubal, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Fusion 360, and ArcGIS.
After completing my degree in July 2024, I am very motivated and excited about my future. Recently, in the month of July, I joined the post of Special Survey Engineer in the Directorate of Land Records and Survey, Government of Bihar, which is a government organization. At the age of 12, I first heard about CERN in 2015, when LHC was run for the second time in March 2015. I read an article on the last page of the daily newspaper: "Scientists are searching for God in the world's biggest temple." Since then, I have been reading about CERN. The more I have tried to know about CERN, the more I have desired to know it. CERN is a great organization in itself, and its location in Geneva, Switzerland, makes it even more special for me. Working at CERN is like giving purpose to my human life. As CERN is researching the universe at a fundamental level, for me, becoming a part of CERN and helping in understanding the universe will give me a feeling of completeness.
My objective as an intern at your Technical Student Internship 2025 is to avail the advantages of securing the best knowledge, faculty, cutting-edge technology, and research environment. An internship at your prestigious organization would furthermore, due to internationality, provide insight into nationalities and diverse cultures throughout the world. Switzerland is one of the developed countries with an open heart and world-class education system, where science and technology are a way to achieve social progress. All these factors, coupled together, make it an ideal choice to do an internship and reach new heights. Interning at CERN would be a significant step towards achieving my career goals. I believe that I possess the intelligence, commitment, and tenacity necessary to accomplish my goals. Full of curiosity and hope, I had also applied for the last 2024 CERN Openlab, but I could not become a part of CERN. However, due to my strong desire to work at CERN, I could not stop myself from applying for the CERN internship this time also. And this time again, I am applying to CERN with new hope and energy. I am eagerly looking forward to being a part of your Technical Studentship Community. If I am given the opportunity to intern at your esteemed research organization, I would forever be grateful to you. I am committed to upholding the norms of your Technical Student Internship Programme and to being a deserving student.
Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to express myself and for taking the time to go through my application.

You sound more like you are applying for a college admission than a prestigious and extremely competitive technical student internship. There is only a 5% admission rate for this program so you can imagine how well skilled, ambitious, and more competitive the resume of your competition will be. This is not what I would call a competitive letter because of its simplicity in approach, the fact that you are using childhood references instead of college ambitions, previous internship experience, or forward thinking skills indicates a lack of preparedness on your part for this program. India, being an Associate Country will not be high on the consideration list for the program and applications like these, lacking in proper references and information as to why you truly stand out as a candidate, what you can bring to the program. and what you offer the program, are sure to fall through the cracks and not catch the eye of the reviewers.
