It's always a good idea to check the official website of IIT Delhi for the most up-to-date information on internships and the application process.
IIT Delhi usually starts accepting applications around Jan-Feb.

In case they consider you eligible for the internship they will contact you via your email. A good CGPA might help but is not necessary for an internship.
Is it risky to take textile engineering in iit delhi with a motive of department change?
Department change is a very common debate among IITians so let me state some important points regarding the same to answer your question in a better way.
- Department change happens after the end of the first year during which students of every branch study similar courses
- The change is based on your CGPA and category
- On an estimated 50 students from the General Category and 15 from the reserved category are allowed to change their departments
- CGPA should be above 8 to be eligible for branch change
Now if we roughly calculate 6-7 students from a textile branch out of 55 are eligible for branch change. The competition seems to be tough and you are required to maintain a certain CGPA to target a certain branch. The CG required to transfer to the following branches are
- CS: 9.6
- Metallurgy: 9.6
- EE: 9.4
- Mechanical: 8.8
- Chemistry: 8.4
If you are confident that you can achieve the required CG with the given competition, you can take them risk. But hear me out, even if you don’t manage to do so, remember branches can be switched in MTech too. Moreover, doing BTech from IIT Delhi will only open more opportunities and won't become a disappointment.

Most students go for consultancy, analyst or coding profiles as very few core Textile Companies visit the campus for recruitment.
The major companies that hire students from this specialization are
- Accenture
- Barclays Bank
- Capgemini
- Deloitte
- Flipkart
- GAIL(Gas AuthorityOf India Ltd)
- Hindustan Unilever
- ICICI Securities
- JP Morgan Chase
In all truth, Textile technology at IITD does not do justice to the name and fame of the institute. Don’t choose this course just for the IIT tag as you will end up really disappointed.
What should a non CS student of IIT Delhi do to get job in IT or a coding related job?
Many IITians target a coding job or a job in the IT sector be it CS or non-CS students. This is somewhat easy for CS students as they are in direct contact with computer science courses and have enough knowledge of the same. So, what should Non-CS students do to get IT or coding jobs?
Non-CS students can do the Data Structures course as an open course. This course will mar you somewhat suitable for Software Engineering roles and interviews. The knowledge acquired through these courses is more than enough to clear the interview successfully. The next step is to determine what CGPA will get you what kind of job.
- 9-10 CGPA: Anything above 9 is a glittering aspect in your resume and will get you offers from Samsung, South Korea.
- 8.5 CGPA: This is also considered decently good and carries enough weightage in your resume to get you good packages
- Above 7.5: This is the usual cutoff for IT companies while shortlisting candidates.
Extracurriculars hardly matter in the IT industry unless you are targeting HUL or ITC.
For Finance jobs, the Probability and Stochastic Processes course in the 4th semester is a good choice.
