Lakhs of Indian graduates finish college every year without a single day of real work experience - and employers keep saying freshers are not job-ready. Some courses already build work into the degree: medicine has its compulsory internship year, and engineering colleges under AICTE require students to complete internships. The National Education Policy 2020 asks for internships across undergraduate programmes too, but most BA, BCom and BSc students can still graduate without spending a day in a workplace. Making it compulsory would mean every college arranging - and every student finding - a placement before they get their degree: in a company, a government office, an NGO, a farm or a local business. Should an internship be a condition for graduating from every college in India? Where do you stand? Vote, then share your opinion - and say what would change your mind.
