Work from home internship are best for all kind of students, you can gain knowledge, experience and few bucks. I will share my experience that how I got internships and what to do after that.
So lets start talking about my prior experience and project work. As a Android Developer I had created and worked on many projects, few are live on play store with 50k+ total user base. So I had good knowledge about my field.
How And Where To Apply
There are good number of sites or job portals, but I used Internshala(Free Platform) to apply for internships. 80% of company on Internshala are startups, so it will have its own pros and cons. I Always applied for work from home internships on Internshala. You can work on your own time without any travel. You will get tons of position in your field to apply.
How To Crack Internships (Work From Home)

If your work, projects and resume will stand out, you will get a call for interview. This will depend from company to company. Few company will call, few company will provide you a task to test out your skills. You might also get technical interview from skype. If company provides you a task then try to complete it on time. If you are in tech field than you should be good at git.
What After Getting Selected
I was hired by 5 Companies from Internshala as Android Developer Intern and every company had different work pattern. 3 Companies provided me task to test my skills and 2 just hired me on my past work. Currently I am working with 2 companies and its been more than 5–6 Months. Depending on company you will have to create new features, remove old bugs, create new app, perform daily task etc. You will have to give daily 3–5 hours for work and stay connected with different teams. Mostly all companies are startup so might have to create few things from scratch.

Well this is a normal thing. If you apply to 15 companies than you will get response from 4–5 companies.
