What would you be looking for when recruiting fr esh graduates? Of course, you will only hire people who are well able to help you solve the issues and problems at work. How do you know whether a job candidate is a problem-solver or not? Will his/her grades or CGPA show? Hardly. Having good grades demonstrates that you are able to study well. Grades, however, do not show how well you will function in real-life work situations. On the other hand, internship experiences with impactful achievements will show very clearly and convincingly your practical competencies and value in authentic ways.
