Off Campus Internships/ Placements
Hey everyone, I’m currently in 3rd year CSE at SRM (graduating in 2027).
Honestly, I haven’t had much luck with internships through college so far, so I wanted to understand how off-campus internships and placements usually work for SRM students.
Would really appreciate if seniors or anyone experienced could share details about:
- Where/how do you usually apply for off-campus internships?
- Which platforms actually worked for you?
- How important is LinkedIn/networking/referrals?
- Does college give OD for internships? If yes, what’s the process?
- How many months are we allowed to do internships?
- Till when can we continue internships during 4th year?
- How is 4th year structured exactly?
- How many class days per week usually?
- When do exams happen?
- Is attendance strict in 4th year?
- Has anyone rejected an on-campus offer and gone fully off-campus instead? If yes, why?
- How do off-campus placements compare to campus placements in terms of salary/growth/opportunities?
- Any mistakes you regret or things you wish you started earlier?
Would love to hear real experiences, timelines, procedures, tips, literally anything helpful 😭
Thanks in advance!
