If you think IIT IIM students have it bad, take a look at other colleges

We hire interns occasionally, and the market for interns is so bad right now, students are approaching us to work for free (we do pay a stipend and don't ask for free work).

Companies aren't even hiring that many interns, and college students need internship experience to add to their resume and compete in the market.

Heck, MSMEs are shutting down and MNCs are doing layoffs, not very inspiring. We've managed to survive somehow through all the covid ups and downs.

Would like to know more from students on GV, what's your college internship and placement scenario like? What are you doing to stand out?

Computer science students are still in demand, but marketing sales and operational jobs are quickly disappearing due to AI tools. It's going to get more difficult for non tech domains :/

Bhai saab the arrogance they are carrying after solving few leetcodes. I have stopped communicating with them.

Well , I think that's okay. It's similar to what HRs and recuriters do with these folks. A Balance should be there.
