PM Internship Scheme 2026: Govt Issues New Guidelines, Stipend Details

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has shared clear rules for the PM Internship Scheme 2026. The plan sets up a national system to give young people paid internship chances in companies across India. It also makes sure the application process is simple and fully online.

Scheme Overview

The PM Internship Scheme aims to help young people get real work experience. Internships will last between six and nine months. At least half of this time will be spent in actual workplace settings.

Interns will not be treated as company employees. The scheme will run separately from other government training programs.

Candidates will apply through an online portal where they can view and choose roles. Those selected will receive financial support during the internship. The goal is to help bridge the gap between education and job skills.
