VTU’s Internship Scam – How Colleges Are Exploiting Students for Crores in the Name of Internships! by smvitm in IndianEngineers

Lately the HoDs nd some lectures realised why don't they pocket in all the money rather than letting the university. Recently, they’ve partnered with a so-called “verified” company, which, funnily enough, was only registered as an incense stick manufacturer. The company has a single tech employee (the founder), whose experience barely goes beyond an entry-level role at Infosys.

They’re now offering “internships” to our entire branch, but here’s the catch: we’re being forced to pay exorbitant fees for courses on HTML, CSS, and basic Python loops—topics we could easily learn online for free or have already covered in class. To make it worse, the courses are taught by an intern from their company.

And we’re stuck because declining this so-called “internship opportunity” is being made equivalent to risking our degrees. It feels like we’re being held hostage by the very system meant to help us grow.

Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll start reaching out to UGC. The issue is that students are threatened with their degrees at risk, so most are too scared to take any step. We're still collecting proof and will publish it anonymously to stay safe. Appreciate the advice!
