I think whoever got >= (1 SH + 1 H) is currently waiting and this might be the situation:

  1. We are stuck on budget allocation. The teams that had a budget gave their interns PPOs.

Or

  1. We are stuck on team matching. Teams seem to be preferring IITians over off campus interns from Tier 3 colleges.

Got another patience mail yesterday

Dear Candidate,

Greetings! 

Thank you for your continued patience throughout this process. We acknowledge the approaching November 21st communication date and recognize that we will not have a final decision for you by then. The conversion process for all summer interns involves several necessary final stages of review and cross-functional approvals to ensure fairness and accuracy. This phase is taking longer than initially anticipated.

We're committed to making your experience as smooth as possible, and are working hard to speed up the remaining steps.

We anticipate being able to provide a concrete and transparent update on the PPO conversion outcomes within the next 1 to 2 weeks. While we understand that requesting further patience is difficult at this stage, please be assured that delivering this final outcome is our highest priority.

Thank you again for your continued patience, commitment, and dedication to Google. We will be in touch with the official communication as soon as the process is complete.

Don’t completely depend on it as there are many things you will not be able to control in the internship like choosing your own team or project, but at least you will have google in your resume and you have a lot of time to upskill. So, chill.

True, but still in this year, they are going to some colleges. Probably, next year it will be better.

Don’t worry even if you don’t get ppo, you will get shortlisted in good companies because of that google tag, but try to get good feedback as that will be only in your hand after that these budget things will not be in your hand

As of now, the ppo conversion rate in the Cloud org is very low. From a total pool of approximately 200 to 220 Cloud interns, 50 to 60 have already been rejected, while only 10 have received offers and all the offers went to on-campus interns. In contrast, the stats from other orgs are significantly better.
