Hello Yada,
This is heavily dependent on the number of internship opportunities you were given from college or which board your college was affiliated to. Suppose the board affiliated to your college is UGC or AICTE, then you need to have completed a minimum of 3 internships. Also having internships in your resume significantly increase your chances of selection in the PSU especially if you have done your internship in a related discipline of the PSU you are applying to. For example, if you are applying to IOCL, if you have an internship in IOCL or ONGC or OIL or Reliance CBM, etc etc then you have more solid chances of grabbing the particular posts compared to those who didn't. Main criteria of scoring more than 80/100 is not enough these days but PSUs being businesses would look for a skill in you that will be beneficial to them and if you can give them that then you would be onboard. Good luck!
