Internship Related


Yes. Currently, we are in the process of reaching out to/finalising deals with our Corporate Partners. Once you made it to the internship stage, you will be given the list of available corporates to mark your preference. Based on your performance, preferences will be accommodated.

Glad you asked! We have thought about this. For most, if not all corporates, we will make sure you get an optional day-off every week to study. We expect it to be collaborative.

Meaning, we expect our candidates to help their corporates they are in when there is work. Similarly, we expect our corporate partners to accommodate any extra day-offs needed to study when near exams, etc.



As we get more questions, we will update the FAQ by adding those questions on an on-going basis.
