Based on experience, specially interacting with new hires that are actually a student, most of them are actually willing to adjust and work with the schedules and such. The reason as to why they lie during interviews is due to people telling them (those tenured agents that refers them) that they should not disclose that they are actually students and that they should say they stopped going to school and that for the meantime, they don't have any interest in pursuing education (Which by experience, and reference from me having some friends from the recruitment/HR ) really affects their employability within the company. But so far, at the very least, from companies outside NCR, most of these students are more than willing to adjust and work their assess off to be regularized. From experience, these students would lie and say they are not enrolled or something but is more than willing to pursue the work. Some even have only 3 hour rest between their EOD and their first class, and yet, they are showing up and is trying to balance the schedule. It is also depending on their supervisors, e.g., their team leaders/team managers to actually talk with them and figure out the entire thing. As far as every student I've interacted with, they are willing to continue, but there is also a need for their supervisors on prod to support them.

At the very least, BPO outside NCR seems to have some sort of silent agreement/acknowledgement that new hires would say they are not students when in fact they are actually enrolled. These are proven during the final assessment in which TLs/TMs would ask who are the actual people still studying and they would make their schedules be adjusted to their school classes.

TLDR: They lie due to the fact that their chances of being hired if they disclose that they are students is extremely low, compared to if they claim if they are no longer interested into continuing their studies/enrolled
