Ask HN: Where can I start looking for a thesis?

I am an undergraduate student at BITS Pilani currently in my 6th semester. In our university, we are supposed to complete one semester of either industrial training or a thesis.

A little background on my education. I am pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, which I am not fond of because of many reasons and I wish to pursue a career in web application development. To date I have put in over two years of effort into learning new programming languages and have gained proficiency in developing web based applications.

In the next few days, I am supposed to make the decision of whether I wish to go for industrial training or do a thesis. If I take the option of industrial training, then I will be given a company and I will be supposed to work over there for nearly 6 months. But, if I go for a thesis, I can do it with a company or another university and work in the field where I want to continue after my education.

I would be more than happy if someone can give me directions towards which company or university might be interested in offering me a thesis.
