Will the internship experience count as working experience for graduate trainee?

Some of the graduate trainee role require the candidate with less than 2-3 years working experience. If I have so many internship experience in University and sum of all the internship period has exceeded 2 years, can I still apply for those graduate trainee role? Or only the working experience upon graduation count? many thanks!!

Are all of those undergrad internships relevent to the graduate trainee role? If not, I wouldn't include them, nor should they be on your resume. If it's a graduate role, you can easily spin the undergad internships as non-professional experience, or include the most recent ones (and relevant) if you need to get closer to two years. That's what I would do.
