3 year degree students are too early to take up an internship in the second year and too late for an internship in their third (final year)
Had to miss a lot of good opportunities because of this.
I learned almost everything about tech in my second year and by the time I was ready I am in my final year ready to graduate
Just passed a good data science internship opportunity because I graduate next year.
Students from Science backgrounds are equally talented.
A lot of companies usually have B.tech in their requirements.
I have come across a job posting that includes Science streams which are highly appreciated. Hope more companies consider students for tech roles from non-traditional backgrounds and judge them based on their skills and knowledge.
