This program gives students a chance to work on real government tech projects.

Practical Experience for Students

Duration, Work Areas, and Selection

The internship will last at least two months and can go up to three months based on performance and project needs. Interns may be placed at the NIC headquarters in New Delhi or at state centers across India.
