Internships are generally neither provided directly by the university nor through an agency. Universities usually help students access internship opportunities through career portals, employer partnerships, industry projects, networking events, career fairs, and alumni connections. However, they typically do not guarantee internships. In some cases, there may be recruitment or staffing agencies that work with companies and help candidates apply for internships or jobs. But in reality, most students secure internships through their own efforts by directly applying to companies, networking, attending career events, and using platforms like LinkedIn, job portals, or company career portals. Your chances of getting internships depend heavily on your profile, skills, communication abilities, networking, and how proactively you apply during the course.
