should students work without salary in companies in traning after getting a campus placement?

Of course why not, but i had applied in 40+ companies during recession time that i want to work in free of cost, but no one could reply. any way for freshers first 2 yrs should be Learning period.

Of course why not, when he/she is a fresher then it becomes a high-time for him/her to show the talent, it would be great advantage for a candidate if he/she gets such a chance.  What matters here is talent not money.  If you have talent then you will automatically be paid for the skill what you have, then why do you worry for money?

In a simple language, MORE KNOWLEDGE MORE MONEY, LESS KNOWLEDGE NO MONEY.

The students are like raw material for their training the company is already paying so he/she should not be paid under following conditions.........................

1.The training period should not be too long

2.he/she should be residing in company accomodation

When we say "Students" & "Training" it is understood that someone is "Teaching" or "Training".

It is a part of the education process.

There was a term known as "Apprenticeship", rarely used these days, where a trainee would have to work his butt off for a measly stipend. 

The process ensured that he/she would thoroughly learn every aspect of his job..... or leave the profession.

There was a sense of pride at the end of this apprenticeship, unlike today where even a B.A. graduated in English requires services of a "Consultant" to fill up a Visa Application form or a B.E Civil graduate requires guidance to calculate the hypotenuse of a triangle....

.... and expects a salary too!

Training must be complusary for freshers bcoz freshers dont hve any idea about how industries works. in my company i took so many interviews bt i didnt find any of freshers who had basic idea about industrial work so it must be cumpolsory for them

Gaurav, 

Seems you want to say that it is wrong when happens a TOPPER, but it is ok if it happens with a average or below average guy. 

Their is no correlation between being an topper in class and being an performer at work place, Everybody got its niche, one may showcase it in class and one may showcase it in office. 

Its always better not to think about marks/ranks when you enter in professional career. It is my advice, it will help you in your career.

I have been working in technology based company from last 5 years, and i have seen that most of times when a trainee comes into the team, he needs lots of time, guidance, and support from the team. At time people cross the limits to help them just because we all have seen that time and want from the core of heart to help them grow.

I honestly feel that a raw trainee is of no use to any organization unless it invests its resources on that trainee, hence from organization point of view allowing a trainee to enter into the premises is a COST, at the same time trainees do not have any commitments toward organization and can not contribute to critical activities too.

Hence i would like to ask all the students what independent value addition they can do to organization for which they should be paid?

More or less its an ethical issue, organizations have no legal binding to provide training and in todays cut throat competition students pay for getting class room training, in such a scenario if someone giving you training for free, you should feel lucky to get that chance. 

I think no Trainee  should say that "I need money" instead they can put forward their case by saying "if you can pay me it would be good for me".

Several factors should be taken into consideration, first you should ask yourself where do you stand, and what are the areas that you need to work the most.

If working for some company for free would make me better, in the field where I am not good at or have no idea about, I would work for free. Once you are skilled and have knowledge you can dictate your terms :) .

don't and please don't work whether for free or being highly paid if you are not getting to learn as it would harm you, more than help you in long run.

Have Fun!

Students generally get a stipend for working as a trainee. However, the core aim at this point in time is to gain experience, industrial exposure and industry knowledge. Salary aspects are a secondary focus.

Thus, if a stipend is not available, but the opportunity is available, the student should not hesitate to work without a stipend. The available opportunity provides a very useful and effective means for the student to build his skills for the future....

trainee must take it

trainee must take it.

Our students coming out of the educational institutions are not trained to take up a job and execute with out guidance. Due to the low budget of the companies they may be not able to pay the trainees. This period should be considered as an internship and should utilise opportunity to get work experience. 

Objective of training is to learn corporate environment, and develop skills which would help them in long term. It is up to the organization to decide that if they can pay to trainee or not.

In any ways when a company takes a trainee, some cost is already associated with him, seating space, hardware, software, and manual resources, hence a trainee should focus more on learning and not on earning.
