I’m an engineering student and currently in my 3rd year of study. I will have completed my 5th semester(20th course) this June. I still haven’t started to apply for summer internships yet. Is it too late? I have had a really difficult time this year in my life and as a result haven’t been able to apply.
Should I take a semester gap and try for next summer(2027)

Please help
