They reached there and took their respective seats.

"Good morning students, I hope you are doing very well and must have got refreshed after your vacations" Basu ma'am greeted the students.

"Yes ma'am" all shouted.

"Okay so let's start with the topic which you all are called here for"

All the students were listening to her keenly.

"Now you all are in your 2nd last semester hence you're required to do internships in various companies to gain experience and look at how things work."

"For that, we need suggestions, though we already have many names in our list, still, we wanted to know if there is any specific company in your mind where you want to do your internship" She stated further.

"Ma'am I want...."

One boy started speaking when she cut him in between.

"One minute let me complete first then you all are free to express your thoughts and queries."

"So I was saying if anyone wants to suggest any name, they can, if not, then the list which we prepared is already there. You can select any one company from all the names given and inform us. We will then check for the majority and the company which is suggested by more students will be your internship place." She explained. Everyone was listening keenly.

"All the arrangements will be done by the college itself, and you will be staying there for 6 months till your internship period gets over and one more thing, this is a paid internship but you will get paid for the last three months only. " She explained further and sat down on her chair.

*Nivedita Basu is their counselor and the head of the placement cell.*

"Now you can ask your queries and express your thoughts." She encouraged the students.

"Ma'am, when do we have to start our internship?" Rahul asked the first question.

"After your internal exams." She replied.

"Ma'am, how much will they pay us?" Sejal asked with a smile.

"Not as much as you are flashing your teeth, it will be varying between 12-15k, depending upon the company." She replied with a soft laugh while the whole class burst into laughter.

She sat down in her place again with a scowl cursing under her breath.

"That's why I asked you not to show your teeth every time, but no, madam will act according to her will only. Now, did you get relief after getting insulted?" Diksha scolded her in a whisper.

"I was just normally asking, what's the need of pointing every single thing out. Damn you, Nivedita Basu." Sejal whispered in the lowest tone of her voice, with a grimace on her face.

"You both stop with your whispering before that woman throws us out of the class," Vedant whispered when he heard their not-so-low whispers.

"Anyone else who wants to know anything?" Nivedita asked.

"No ma'am" they replied.

"Okay then now I'm reading the names of companies which we have listed. There are 5 names in total along with places:-

1. Krystal Softech - Ranchi
2. Microtech Limited - Bengaluru
3. Amber Technologies - Bhopal
4. KV Technologies - Delhi
5. Black Panther Solutions - Delhi

"These are the information of selected companies. Now you all have 2 days to think clearly, check and read about them on the internet and give one name either from this or your own suggestion. We will again have a meeting on Wednesday to finalize the name. Now you can go and attend your classes. Have a good day."

She said and walked out of the room collecting her things. As soon as she exited, the whole classroom echoed with the loud noise of students, who didn't wait for any further to discuss it.

"Eeeeee… KV Technologies is also listed in it… Oh my God… oh my God… I am so excited… like finally." Sejal clapped and jumped happily like a 5-year-old. Her excitement was too much to get in control today.

"Yes, man! KV Technologies. Isn't it like a dream come true for us? our dream literally came true." Diksha grinned and said with dreamy eyes.

"But, ma'am said that we need a majority to finalize any name from the list of companies given..." Sejal said in a fake crying tone.

"Hahahah… Happy realization girls… you guys got it too soon." Vedant said sarcastically and chuckled looking at both the girls who had poker expressions on their faces.

"Okay fine, now you don't show your teeth… yuck so dirty… God knows when did you brush last time." Diksha said annoyingly with disgust looking at his slightly yellow teeth.

"Yes, let's talk to Anirudh, what kind of CR would he be if he can't get everyone to agree to this, all he does the whole day is just roaming around the president saying yes ma'am-no ma'am. And I'm already sure, half of the students want to join KV Technologies only." Sejal said, nodding her head.

"Yes, let's ask him, although he acts more like a cunning fox than a CR, still, he's the only one who can inform us about it. So let's ask him." Diksha suggested.

Both the girls walked out of the room leaving Vedant standing in confusion, scratching his head thinking what the girls just said.

"How can the mood of these two change so quickly; from happy to irritated? Like how so fast and sudden? God, one day I'll go crazy because of them."

He walked in the same direction, scratching his head and huffing in annoyance and confusion. Although he was their friend, these two girls bonded a little better with each other; one can blame it to their gender. Both being girls, mingled well with each other from the very first day.

That's why sometimes it is hard for Vedant to understand these two. He shakes his head at times because all their girly jokes and talks sometimes get bounced off his head. Right now, he is again shaking his head at their talks and headed to find them out.
