MIDC Ambad in Nashik has an Associate Data Scientist internship, on site, with a data science team building predictive models for internal decision-making. No prior experience is required, and this internship is genuinely open to someone whose only model-building experience came from coursework.
The work covers exploring and cleaning raw data, applying statistical and machine learning techniques to find patterns, presenting findings to stakeholders, and recommending data-driven decisions. A surprising amount of data science work is data cleaning, and interns here learn that reality quickly rather than jumping straight into modeling.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, statistics, or a related quantitative field is expected, along with hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning models using Python and common frameworks, even at a coursework level.
Any personal project involving real, messy data rather than a clean course dataset, familiarity with a data visualization library, and genuine patience for the unglamorous data cleaning work that comes before any modeling can start.
MIDC Ambad is one of Nashik's established industrial and business zones, and this team's models feed into real internal business decisions, giving interns exposure to the gap between an academically interesting model and one that actually needs to be trusted for a decision. Naukri Mitra has listed a few internship roles from this employer, and past interns describe the emphasis on presenting findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders as an unexpectedly valuable skill they hadn't developed much in their academic coursework.
Interviews include a small take-home data exercise and a discussion of your approach and reasoning. Candidates who explain their thinking clearly, including dead ends, tend to interview well.
This internship is based at MIDC Ambad, Nashik, pin code 422010, five days a week on site. The stipend is up to ₹22,000 a month. The team hopes to start someone within three to four weeks.
