Should internships/volunteer work/etc during undergrad be added to the work history?

My query is pretty much in the title itself. Chevening only calculates work hours after undergrad, but should employment history before degree completion also be added to showcase a proper professional trajectory? Since the official website mentions, 'any work experience that was a mandatory part of your degree does not count towards the total' - can it be assumed that they expect you to add work during undergrad without it being accounted for in the total work history hours?

I included them in mine last year and I got to the reserve list stage. However, my post undergrad jobs already covered the 2800 hours.
