In a significant policy change, the University of Calicut in Kerala, India, has allowed students pursuing four-year undergraduate programs (FYUGP) to complete their internships at their own colleges for the current academic year. Previously, students were required to undertake internships at external companies, which must have been operational for at least 10 years. BBA and BCA students are mandated to complete 120 hours of internship, while those in other programs need to fulfill 60 hours. This decision comes in response to numerous complaints from students regarding the lack of available internship opportunities and the financial burden associated with traveling to distant companies during the hot summer months. Many students expressed concerns over the difficulties they faced in securing internships, with some alleging financial exploitation in the process. The university's move aims to ease these challenges and provide students with more accessible options for fulfilling their internship requirements.
