To aim at the acquisition of pre-placement offers wherever suitable and appropriate.

Recruiters attach great significance to the Summer Internship Project Report in thefinal placement interview and in depth questions about on it can be expected.Hence, the Project Report should be perceived as a critical tool which signals astudents potential to the recruiter.
