Failing to get a UI/UX internship

After trying for 2 months, and applying to over 30+ internships, I've failed to land a single internship which is paid. Last week two recruiters shortlisted me and both of them gave me a task -

  1. To design a music festival website with specific requirements
  2. To design a edtech platform which incorporates gamification

The deadline was 24-36 hrs for both of them. I did the first task, submitted on time. Received no reply. I was left with no motivation to do the 2nd task, as it was even bigger than the 1st task.

I urge PMs, Product Designers and everyone really to take a look at my portfolio and Behance and let me know where am I lacking. Am I really than incompetent in this space?

Tl;dr: My 3rd year B.Tech is going to start from this month and I failed to get an internship during summers. Feeling very incompetent.

Chill, you are doing better than 80% of my batch students who got placed. Keep applying.

Is this internship part of your academic curriculum? If not, don’t worry about it and focus on freelance/college projects.

Your work is very promising. 🤩

Thank you for your kind comments. I have an update: Just got a remote paid opportunity in a profitable EV startup. 2 more interview processes going on, one of them is a GREAT fintech company.
