UHi everyone, I’m in a really frustrating situation with my college and an internship. I desperately need advice on how to proceed. Here’s the full picture:
* **Exam Schedule & Delayed Internship Application:** We had theory exams right up until January 30th, meaning we couldn’t apply for internships before this date.
* **College’s Very Short Holiday:** My college only gave us a very short holiday from February 1st to 17th. This is crucial because internships are usually longer than just a few weeks.
* **Delayed Internship Approval (Company & College):** I applied for an internship, but both the company’s approval process and the college’s internal approval took a significant amount of time.
* **Internship Start Date (After Holidays):** The internship was finally approved with a start date of February 19th to March 21st – after the very short college holiday ended. This is a 30-day internship.
* **HOD’s Refusal & Unrealistic Suggestion:** Despite the internship starting after the holiday period and being a standard 30-day duration, the Head of Department (HOD) is refusing permission. They are saying no special permission will be given, and incredibly, suggested I attend the internship after college hours.
* **Impossible Commute:** My commute to the internship office is approximately 3 hours each way. This makes the HOD’s suggestion completely unrealistic and practically impossible. It’s also not an online internship.
* **Core Problem:** The college gave a holiday that was far too short to accommodate a proper internship, and now the HOD is blocking me with an unworkable suggestion. This feels incredibly unfair, especially since the delays in approval weren’t my fault.
* **Seeking Urgent Advice:** What can I possibly do? Who can I appeal to? This internship is really important for my career, and the HOD’s stance seems completely unreasonable given the circumstances. Any suggestions on how to get permission would be greatly appreciated!” -
HThis is not a legal problem. There often is clash between college and internships. You simply have to make a decision on which is more important for you. Consult seniors in your college on what is more important for your course and how strict your college is about attendance.

UIs there anything that can be done legally? Since even minimum of 30 days of holiday was not given
