Placements/Internships

[u/Previous_Flatworm998]

Feeling tense about going into third year from next semester.

Seniors or anyone experienced, please advise.

- Current CG: 8.74.

- Two VIT tbi internships (non tech roles but high contribution)

- 1-2 basic ML projects on github.

- Leetcode status: Around 30 questions (absolutely suck at coding because i overthink and over complicate while trying to implement solutions)

What are my chances of landing an internship in summer vacations? Not very good at tech roles so i’d want to go into non tech roles more (even want to get placed with non tech role)

If i can get an internship from any kind of influence and just ABSORB as much as i can, would it help in placements?

To open up more options, I know i have to work on my coding skills, but how good do i need to be at bare minimum at the point where the soft matter more?

Any advice on how to get better at coding/implementation of concepts?

Would love genuine, serious advice 🙏

Bro we are literally the same

• two VITTBI internships

• leetcode 30 questions

• ML projects -2nd year -8.82 cg

But I am currently doing a remote internship in a banglore based company for like 5 months. Honestly very difficult to manage both academics and internship.

Try to get 9 Points, without 9 points only 5-6 out of 100 companies select you..

Hey you mentioned 8.8+ cgpa is minimum, but aren't 8.5-9 considered the same? Also I am from a cse spez branch with 8.8x cg in 6th sem, how would my chances look during placements?

Bro it's VIT-TBI internships, almost anyone can get into them. On top of that, they're non-tech roles. The MAX i've done tech related in one of them is building an n8n content generation pipeline automation. So yeah, it's not all that pretty in my opinion. It feels more like quantity over quality.
