In early May 2020, halfway through my exchange program and at the peak of the COVID-19 crisis, I didn't have any idea what I was going to do next.

This is so beautifully versed! MLH fellowship is one of the prestigious fellowship, that anyone would love to be a part of.
I tried this year, & I also received a mail regarding my interview, but unfortunately it was my bad luck that I couldn't attend the meeting properly due to cyclonic activities in my state :(
Nonetheless, the point you mentioned above that - "Luck favors those who try" is very veracious! I will definitely try being a part of this prestigious program next year.
They're actually opening applications for a new season tomorrow if you're interested :)
Oh that's great! I'll surely apply tomorrow :) Many many thanks for the info!
That's awesome! Thank you very much for this info 😃
Can I apply for both externship and fellowship together.
You could in the last batch, but I'm not sure if you still can (I'd email help@fellowship.mlh.io asking about that for official information though)
Hi, I Applied earlier this year but i didnt get a reply but i just saw an email some hours ago asking me to reapply for the next batch alongsides a code. I just applied.
I think the meeting durations are quite long (5 hours). What do you people do during these meetings?
Daily meetings usually take 15 minutes and each fellow (and the mentor) would go about things they accomplished the day before and plans for the current day
Thanks for sharing this!! It is very helpful. Can you please share some tips regarding communication because I think I am not that fluent in speaking English, although I am comfortable with the chat thing.
You need to be able to communicate effectively in English. That's it. If you feel comfortable doing the chat interview that probably means your English level is good enough :)
I'm really glad the MLH Fellowship worked out for you in the uncertainty of 2020! :)
It is such a great format, I'm very impressed at how the group has handled remote team-building and collaboration.
As someone told me recently: if anyone can pull off a remote fellowship it's MLH <3
Can a student apply in his/her second year B.tech
Actually I am a bit confused if second year is the best time to apply for it or not.(I have not worked on projects like you mentioned)
Yes I have coding experience and my very own small projects. So according to you should I apply or wait.
It will be great if you help me out : )
Yes! I've worked with people from all different sorts of backgrounds! Some of them even apply (and get selected) again afterwards. Depending on your experience you might consider a track that requires less of it. Rule of thumb is
Explorer (least exp) > Open Source > Externship (most exp)
Thank you for being so humble and real.
Am considering applying for MLH fellowship in the future.
Your piece was really resourceful.

Will we get selected for interviews on the basis of resume or github profile.
We'll be looking into both. I wouldn't say one is more important than the other
I'll try until I get in! that's all what I got; idea about me, I don't even know flask and 13 is the last date of applying. ill try my best to learn and build something in these days...
You don't need to know Flask. In fact, there aren't required technologies you should know, but you'll probably need to know some technologies. I for example know absolutely nothing about JavaScript, but that wasn't a problem because they put me into a Python pod.
It's like 3 months after, commenting that I have failed in the fall 21 batch but I filled for the summer21 batch and working on my skills...
let's see what happen next
I am reapplying for the MLH fellowship program... Pls what externship? How can I apply for it.
Thanks
What kind of a project they see in application which will get me selected for interview rounds?
Amazing Blog.........
Thanks! for sharing.........
