I have done my internship from biotech park Lucknow. Its better to send request to IIT's and other institutes doing research but your statement of purpose should be strong enough. There are many private companies that will give you good quality training but you have to pay high amount.

Completely agree! A good mail and cover letter / s.o.p is very important! Hope you have gone through the following?:

In rare case, if you don't find any internship opportunity, then don't waste your time and rather start doing a project in your own college. Talk to a professor of your college and let him know that you wish to do a project in 2-3 months of vacations. As a matter of fact, college projects are often taken seriously as there is little scope of wasting time, and can easily be defended by saying that you wished to work on a particular topic of research and hence decided to do it in your own college. But don't take it as a way out..try your best to find an internship (exposure is always an added advantage), and if you end up doing a project in your own college, "Do it Seriously".
