PM Internship

I am a student at IITR now, looking for a PM internship. I love checking new products as a user and looking for the things that could make it more interesting. I am really stuck because I cannot find the opportunities. I check every LinkedIn, Glassdoor, well found openings but their turnout even after mailing and messaging HR is not good. I really want to put my skills out there in the corporate world and learn new things from professionals. I have not done any internship before and every company shortlisting seeks for previous internships. What would you suggest for my scenario on getting my very first PM internship?
I have this time constraint thing for an onsite internship, I just have 2 months for an onsite intern before my college opens up again. Then after, I can definitely work remotely given the opportunity. I always put in all my hard work when a task is assigned to me.
Please suggest how I should take things forward? And also, if you may know of any openings for a product management internship.. please let me know.

Get your hands dirty with coding and marketing before. PM as a role is good but it’s preferred hiring tech PMs who have experience in doing other stuff

Yes, i have been doing coding as well. And I have experience in marketing at our college's technical fest which includes partnership with various companies for mutual benefits and to contribute in total prize worth of the fest by adding more rewards and incentives through partnering.

I mean get more experience as a developer / marketer. PM is a versatile job and you need to understand a few things before being a manager. Although the job is easy to do and you have to get others to work and check timelines but yeah upto you what you want to do

Try Finding some other role. PM is already bloated in most companies and i doubt there will be hiring for next few quarters.
