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?
Yeah, its pretty bad, like I am 2024, graduate and have 1.5 years of internship experience and I still don't have any full time offer as of now but yeah I have good skills so I am sure will grap a good one in some time
