It is no news that the entire country is in lockdown currently. While this lockdown may get over in next few weeks but most companies will still continue to offer work from home (WFH) until the risk of coronavirus goes away completely.
Fortunately and unfortunately, the lockdown is happening at the time when almost all the educational institutions of India have their summer vacation. Fortunately, because it gives every educational institution the time window to prepare for virtual classes if the situation does not improve anytime soon. And unfortunately, because students will no longer be able to go for on-site internships.
However, this should not stop students from pursuing an internship as companies are offering WFH internships more than ever. Thanks to technology and the many benefits offered by virtual internships, they are the new normal. From start-ups to MNCs, all kinds of companies are now offering remote internships to students.
