The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has introduced the Prime Minister's Internship Scheme in a trial program for the country’s youth. The program seeks to solve youth unemployment by giving students access to internship opportunities. Over the next five years, the PM hopes to offer internships to one crore young people through this program.
The platform is now available for partner employers to register for internships, not for youngsters. To take advantage of the Prime Minister Internship Scheme, candidates who fulfill the qualifying conditions of a company can apply online via the official portal, pminternship.mca.gov.in.
PM Internship Scheme: Eligibility
The higher secondary education or high school diploma, an ITI certificate, a Polytechnic Institute diploma, or a degree such as a BA, BSc, BCom, BCA, BBA, or BPharma are required of applicants for the internship program. Applicants must be between the ages of 21 and 24 on the application deadline. Candidates must be Indian and not be enrolled in full-time courses or employment in order to be eligible. If a candidate is enrolled in an online or distance learning course, they are eligible to apply.

For the duration of the 12-month internship, candidates would receive Rs 5,000 per month as an assistant. Each intern will receive 500 rupees from the corporation from its CSR money, with the government contributing 4,500 rupees. In addition to the monthly stipend, applicants will get a one-time cash support of Rs 6,000 to cover incidental expenses.
