Apply through college or through LinkedIn and your network, it increases your chances.
Anything else you'd like to say to the non-engineers who'll be reading your post?
There's a lot to learn, applicable knowledge is totally different from theoretical knowledge. So don't totally depend on theoretical knowledge.
Vaibhav's internship experience would give you a great clarity on what marketing for an FMCG entails.
