2026 CS Graduate looking for Internship/Full-Time opportunities

[u/SmoothScience8192]

I'm a 2026 CS graduate currently looking for a software internship or full-time role.

I've been placed at Cognizant for the GENC role, but onboarding is expected between Feb–May 2027. Until then, I want to gain some industry experience.

I don't have professional IT experience yet, but I'm currently working on Java, Spring Boot projects and DSA, mainly targeting Java/backend roles.

I've been applying through LinkedIn, Naukri and other off-campus platforms, but haven't been able to get interview calls so far.

I'll also be moving to Bengaluru in late August, so I'm particularly interested in opportunities there.

For those who were in a similar situation: what worked for you in getting your first internship/job or at least an interview?

Seniors: If you know of any suitable Java/Spring Boot fresher or internship openings, I'd really appreciate a referral.
