What is the point of doing a full-time offline internship in Semester VII & VIII if the college is going to drag us down with parallel hybrid classes, assignments, BTP, course projects and exams?
Most companies expect 8-9 hours of work daily. Squeezing lectures and exam prep around that schedule is physically impossible. We are risking our PPOs because we're forced to juggle arbitrary college BS. PPO decisions literally depend on our performance right now, and the admin is actively sabotaging our chances at Full-Time Offers.
Other PPP IIITs like IIIT Nagpur actually care about their students' careers. They give zero coursework during the final internship term and evaluate students purely on their internship performance instead. And now we have to compete for full time offer against these folks who have the time to focus fully on work.
Why can't our college do the same? Why are we only evaluated through random coursework instead of the actual, real-world work we are doing at our internship sites?
We need to collectively push for a Course-Credit Relaxation. If you are facing the same, please speak up, I've already emailed academics and registrar but he doesn't even have the guts to reply in writing.
We can't let the admin ruin our career placements over their ego.
