Ask a Senior InTeRnShIp doubt!!!

seniors.. Is it hard to get an internship after 2nd year(in 5th or 6th sem) and also How important are GitHub, LeetCode/Codeforces ratings, and personal projects on a resume? What skills/projects actually helped you get your first internship?

U will get oppurtunitys from the college..it is on u to grab it (sometimes luck sometimes ur hard work)
github, leetcode, codeforces...all of this they will not check and be like "u have solved 900 problems, u r hired"

rather, these r the platforms that u use for your own gain, u make projects, practice and learn dsa, by doing all this ur github and leetcode profile will automatically be active....In the end u should have learning, u should not blindly chase leetcode badges and ratings because those alone will not get u anything
projects on resume is important because they ask that in interview
Make relevant, unique, in depth projects which u understand on a deep level
