INTERNSHIP POLICY

This policy, developed in collaboration with The Training & Placement Cell—a progressive
service led by students under the guidance of designated faculty members—supersedes all
previous policies and will remain in effect until further notice.

1. The Training & Placement Cell will facilitate internships for students starting from the 1st
year of BA/BBA LLB/LLB programs. It will offer guidance and advice to students across all
batches. Announcements, results, and information will be communicated through the Cell's
official email, Notice Board, and official WhatsApp group. Students are responsible for
regularly checking these channels for updates.

2. The Training & Placement Cell acts as a facilitator and not as a guarantor of internships. All
support and guidance for internships will be provided to the students. Please note that
internships during the semester that result in missed college lectures and insufficient
attendance will not be authorized. If students pursue internships independently and fail to
meet the required attendance, appropriate actions will be taken.

3. Any misrepresentation or fraudulent information provided in the Curriculum Vitae (CV) will
result in the immediate removal of the concerned student from the internship process and
suspension from any future assistance regarding internships.

4. Any student wishing to partake in the internship process must sign an undertaking agreeing
to the terms and conditions stipulated in the Internship Policy.

5. If a student communicates their participation in the process for a particular

organization/firm/corporation and withdraws after being shortlisted or before joining, they will
receive a show-cause notice and may be suspended from the internship process for a minimum
of one semester if found guilty.

6. When a student has applied for an internship, they must be present for the entire selection
process. Failure to do so may result in strict action, including restriction from applying for
internships facilitated by the Placement Cell for a minimum of one semester.

7. If a student receives an internship offer not facilitated by the Placement Cell, they must inform
the Cell.

8. Students who have accepted an internship offer cannot renege, withdraw, or abscond from
joining the organization. Such actions will result in restriction from any further internship
processes.

9. If any student faces any unwanted incident (including harassment of any kind) or any other
unethical experience during an internship, they must report it immediately to the Placement Cell
with any available proof. The student can also terminate the internship immediately and report
the matter to the concerned authorities in the institution.

10. Any disciplinary actions or behavioral complaints received against a student from the
company/firm/organization/court during their internship will be taken seriously and may lead to
removal from the internship process. Any action by the student on social media that may malign
the reputation of SCLC, Pune will also lead to disciplinary action with similar repercussions.

11. Students are strongly discouraged from personally (including through parents or other
relatives) contacting the companies/ firms/organizations with which the Cell is arranging
internships. If any candidate who is shortlisted for an internship in a company/firm/organization
is found to have contacted them personally, thereby bypassing the Placement Cell of SCLC-
Pune, the Placement Cell will immediately withdraw that candidate from the internship process.
The Cell will issue a clear statement that the candidate has been restricted from appearing in any
internship process due to the violation of the rules issued by the SCLC Placement Cell.

by the student in sending their CVs, providing information in the required format, or following

they shall be immediately suspended from the internship process. Reinstatement in the
internship process is subject to the approval of the Principal, SCLC.

14. A Letter of Recommendation (LOR) is a document through which SCLC acknowledges that
the student is a bona fide student of SCLC, Pune. The student needs to submit an application
providing all the necessary details. A specific LOR is made in the name of a specific recruiter.
The concept of a generic LOR has been dissolved. Only a specific LOR will be issued, for which
the applicant needs to provide details of the organization where they intend to intern. A generic
LOR can be issued only with the prior approval of the Placement In-charge. Please note that
LOR will be issued subject to condition that the student will maintain 75 percent of attendance.
