A flagship government initiative placing young Indians in structured, paid corporate internships to bridge the gap between education and real workplace experience — at least 50% of the internship must be genuine on-the-job work, not classroom training.
Age 21-24 (with a 3-year age relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD applicants), family income up to ₹8 lakh/year, not enrolled in a full-time course during the internship, not a graduate of IITs/IIMs/IISERs/NIDs or holding a professional degree (CA/MBBS/MBA).
Minimum 10th pass — candidates with 12th, ITI, diploma, polytechnic, graduate or postgraduate qualifications (including distance/online education) are all eligible.
