Real questions
before you ask
Does it cost anything? +
No. Membership is ₹0 for students and colleges, and Placecom never charges students.
When can I apply? +
Applications open once a year, so don't miss the window. Follow @tribeforstudents on Instagram to hear the moment it opens.
I'm not in a business course. Can I join? +
Yes. Commerce, management, law, design, engineering and humanities are all welcome. TRIBE Apparel and TRIBE Talks need design, tech and creative people too.
How much time does it take? +
At least 12 hours a week during term, with exam-season flexibility agreed with your Project Lead in advance.
Do I get paid for projects? +
Not individually. Your college's share of every project goes into your chapter fund and pays for your experiences, skills, events and competitions. You also get an internship letter for every project.
Can I show client work in my portfolio? +
Every project is under NDA, so only with the brand's written permission. Your internship letters describe your role and are your proof of experience.
Isn't a selective society elitist? +
Selection is free and based on a task and attitude, not grades or background. Open cohorts give any student a second way in.
Can I leave? +
Any time, once you've finished or handed over your current project. You still get letters for completed projects.
