🧑💼 Internship
An internship is a temporary work experience programme where you work with a company or organization to learn real-world skills in your field of study. Internships can be:
- On-site or
- Virtual/Remote (done online)
These give you practical experience, job exposure, and often count toward your resume or college credits.
💼 Placement
A placement is when companies hire students directly (often during campus drives) for full-time jobs after course completion. Placement usually follows:
- Interviews
- Aptitude tests
- Technical rounds, and
- HR discussions
Why Internships & Placements Matter

Internships help you learn:
- Industry workflows
- Tools and practices used in real projects
- Workplace communication and problem-solving skills
📊 Better Career Opportunities
Particularly in competitive fields like IT, internships can make your profile stand out in placements or job applications.
