🚨 The Dark Side of Genpact Internships — A Must-Read for Every Student 🚨

.

1. Misleading Promises of PPO

Genpact positions its campus internship program as “performance-based”, heavily suggesting that top performers will receive a full-time offer (PPO).

But in reality:

• There is no documented criteria for how PPOs are awarded.
• Even top performers are left out without explanation.
• You’re given hope, made to work hard, then ghosted with silence or generic replies.

It’s a scam dressed as an opportunity.

2. Exploiting the One Placement Policy

Many Tier-1 colleges follow a One Placement Policy, which bars students from sitting in other companies once placed for internship.

Genpact takes advantage of this:

• Locks you in with no clarity on future conversion.
• Wastes your peak placement season.
• Leaves you jobless and mentally broken at the end — with a generic email like “We’ll reach out if something opens.”

It’s not just career damage. It’s betrayal.

3. Biased PPO Decisions and Insider Politics

In one real case:

• Out of three interns from the same college, only one male student was not offered a PPO — despite better performance.
• Despite excellent performance, mentor praise, and successful project delivery, this intern was excluded.
• The other two, female interns, were offered roles.
• There was no clear feedback, only silence and excuses.

What’s worse? In the final PPT presentation, the mentor confirmed that everything went exceptionally well. Yet, one reviewer deliberately gave a low score — because:

“His mentee from NIIT University was also in the batch, and he wanted him to get selected instead.”

The intern who benefited unfairly? just because woh NIIT university + achha chatt ta tha uska mentor ka.

This is not performance-based — it’s favoritism and internal politics.

4. Names That Keep Popping Up: Who’s Behind This?

Two names consistently emerge from multiple interns’ stories: 👉 Prithu Jain 👉 Niloo Kumari

• • Mentors i.e. Their senior data scientist positions people are just dump(don’t know how they got the job)

They are known for:

• Running biased evaluations,
• Favoring certain interns and colleges, and
• Ignoring genuine performance records.

They are key players in this exploitative system.

They must be held accountable for making a mockery of what should be a merit-based system.

These two will always gonna tell you : They don’t have any idea about the PPO, everything on management, till last date also they tell this same.

5. Genpact’s Obsession with NIIT University

Genpact shows a clear, disturbing bias towards one institute — NIIT University.

• Whether NIIT interns perform well or not, they are almost guaranteed PPOs.
• Even if you’re from a top-tier NIT with excellent results, you’ll be ignored.
• It’s no longer about skill — it’s about where you’re from.

This damages trust in campus hiring, completely defeating the purpose of merit-based evaluation.

6. Unequal Pay: Same Work, Different Stipends

Genpact pays discriminatory stipends based on your college:

• ₹25,000/month for Tier-1 colleges.
• As low as ₹16,000/month for others.

This creates a hierarchy within interns, despite all doing the same work.

That’s not just unfair — it’s unethical.

7. Toxic Work Culture and Pressure

This internship is not just unfair — it’s exhausting and exploitative:

• You’re pressured to work on holidays, with no choice.
• No additional pay or support.
• There’s no proper team structure, especially in Data Science teams at Bengaluru, which is widely i can say as:
• “One of the worst-performing teams in the company.”

No guidance. No ownership. Just chaos and pressure.

8. The Demoralization Game

Even after:

• Delivering all assigned tasks,
• Getting consistent appreciation from mentors,
• Having documented proof of high performance…

You can still be dropped silently, without reason.

This leads to:

• Loss of confidence
• Mental exhaustion
• Wasted career opportunities

All because of a system that’s biased, manipulative, and broken.

9. Dysfunctional Data Science Team at Bengaluru

If you’re in the AI/Data Science unit:

• Be prepared for confusion, mismanagement, and no structure.
• The Bengaluru DS team is one of the worst-performing teams globally.
• The internship gives no real learning, just fragmented, stressful assignments.

❗️A Personal Plea to All Colleges

We urge every college in India — especially top engineering institutes — to seriously reconsider hosting Genpact during campus placements.

📣 Please BAN this company.

They:

• Exploit students,
• Discriminate based on college name,
• Mislead about PPOs,
• Cause irreparable emotional and career damage.

Genpact does not deserve access to honest, hardworking students.

⚠️ Final Advice to Fellow Students

If you’re reading this and considering Genpact — please don’t.

Even if:

• You have another offer with lower pay,
• You are desperate for a name on your resume,

Still, don’t go for Genpact.

It’s not worth the trauma. It’s not worth the lost time. It’s definitely not worth the disrespect.

“They won’t value you unless you’re from NIIT University or part of their internal circle.”

This company will use your time, waste your career window, and discard you without remorse.
