Q10. Shirish & Gaurav are 2 friends who just registered on Internshala and have filled in their preferences etc. After this, Shirish applies to the first few internships he sees without going through their details since these already match his location and profile preference.

Shirish's approach is better since he can quickly make lot of applications

Gaurav's approach is better since going through the details would help him choose the right internship and make fewer but better applications

Neither of the answers are correct since on Internshala a student does not need to apply to internships but companies contact them directly once they create their profile.

Both the approaches are equally good.
