How do companies shortlist students for JBIMS for summer internships even before the results for the first semester are not yet declared?

The selection process for a company is typically comprised of several steps. First, you will express your interest in the company through a google form or similar mechanism. The company will then release its initial shortlists. The next step is a group or case discussion of the shortlisted students. Finally, the interview process will take place, which may consist of one or two rounds, for those who clear the group/case discussion round(s).

The shortlisting process is based on the batch profile that is shared with recruiters. Companies usually have a shortlisting criterion, such as a minimum percentage in academics or a certain amount of work experience, which they use to create their shortlist. It is important to note that academic projects are typically completed in the first 1-2 months of joining a company, and these projects are added to the CVs of all students. However, HRs do not have enough time to go through individual profiles while creating the initial shortlist, so they rely on evidence such as academics and work experience.
