HireSetu's note
Enrolment is the real filter
You need to be an enrolled bachelor's student in engineering, computer science, IT or something close, and able to program a little. Python leads the language list, with Java and C++ behind it. No frameworks, no cloud stack, no years of experience, so this screens for aptitude and willingness to learn.
One detail is easy to miss: the requisition is filed under Administration, not engineering. The duties line up with that, troubleshooting issues, maintaining systems and hardware, supporting senior members on projects they own. Expect the scope to be broader and less specialised than a development internship on a product team.
Home office, Bengaluru base
Remote here means working from home, with Bengaluru as your location on paper. You supply the setup: a connection that holds up on calls, a machine that runs your tools, and somewhere quiet to take them.
Interns on distributed teams get judged partly on how visible they are. The periodic reviews are where your work gets seen, so treat them as a real checkpoint. A short weekly note of what you finished and what's stuck does more for you than staying quiet.
Ask about overlap hours and whether anyone expects you online at a fixed time. If you're mid-semester, that decides whether this is workable.
Python at the top of page one
Python goes first, since it's the language named at the top of the list and the easiest to prove. One project, code visible somewhere public, two lines explaining what it does. A small script that runs beats a long list of technologies.
Troubleshooting shows up twice in the responsibilities, alongside maintaining hardware and software. Lab machines you've fixed, a college society's site you keep alive, support tickets you've handled: that experience fits this posting and belongs on the page.
Communication and deadlines get their own lines too. Give the reader something concrete, a team event you ran or a deadline you held.
Brush up on Python and debugging
The technical side reads as practical, not deep. Python basics are most of it: lists, dictionaries, loops, reading a file, spotting the bug in a short function. Spend an evening on debugging, since the role is built around finding problems and proposing fixes.
The rest is likely fit and planning: deadlines, working with a team, picking up something unfamiliar quickly. Have one story ready about a project where you learned a new tool under time pressure.
Last thing, no legitimate HPE process asks a candidate for a registration or hiring fee, and none requests bank details over chat.
