Instead, colleges/institutes should give challenging problems as #internship which can be done #FromHome," the Council's first tweet reads.“However, ongoing internships, where companies are allowing students to work from home, shall continue,” the internship guidelines tweeted by the AICTE reads. It has also asked the institutes to abide by all the social distancing guidelines and other measures issued by the government."This is not a good decision. It will harm a lot of students especially those who have worked really hard for getting an intern. Please reconsider! Our future depends on it!," one student had tweeted in response to AICTE's first tweet."Can't we get work from home instead? We have genuinely worked very hard to get in. We have gone through many rounds of interviews. It will be unfair to us. We can rather work from home or the internship can be delayed a bit," another student had also tweeted.Many students said that internships are very important to their career and asked AICTE to delay it instead of canceling it altogether.
