The most crucial element of internships is that they integrate classroom knowledge and theory with practical application and skills developed in professional or community settings.

Why the portal exists
About us
What an internship is for, what organisations are really looking for, and how this portal gets the two sides to meet.
Organisations are getting familiar, that work these days is something other than an approach to win your bread. It is a dedication, an awareness of others' expectations, and a proprietorship. In order to know how the applicant might “perform” in various circumstances, they enlist assistants and offer PPOs (Pre Placement Offer) to the chosen few who have fulfilled every one of their necessities.
For getting a quicker and easier way out of such situations, many companies and students have found AICTE to be of great help. Through the internship portal, AICTE has provided them with the perfect opportunity to emerge as a winner in these trying times. The website provides the perfect platform for students to put forth their skills & desires and for companies to place the intern demand. It takes just 15 seconds to create an opportunity, auto-match and an auto-post to Google, Bing, Glassdoor, LinkedIn and similar platforms. The selected intern's profile and availability are validated by their respective colleges before they join or acknowledge the offer. Shortlisting the right resume, with respect to skills, experiences and location takes place within seconds. Nothing but authentic and verified companies can appear on the portal.
Additionally, there are multiple modes of communication to connect with interns — both sides claiming to be satisfied in terms of time management, quality, security against frauds, and genuineness.
How long can you give?
Weekly, monthly and semester-long

Approvals & assurances
ABC approved, government run
What you get on this portal that you do not get on a job board: credits that count, a government body behind the platform, and organisations that have been checked before they could post.
ABC approved
Internships completed here are approved for the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) — earned credits are deposited into your ABC account under NEP 2020 and stay with you across institutions.
Run by AICTE, Ministry of Education
The portal is built and run by the All India Council for Technical Education under the Ministry of Education, Government of India.
Verified organisations only
Every employer is validated before it can post. Only authentic, verified companies and government bodies appear on the portal.
₹0 for students, always
The portal is free for interns and organisations alike. If anyone asks you for a fee in the name of mentorship, training or skilling, write to us.
In all 22 scheduled languages
Read the portal in the language you think in — the whole site translates, so a language barrier never stands between you and an internship.
Validated by your own college
Your institute or TPO signs off on your profile and availability, which is what makes an internship record from this portal worth trusting.
Academic Bank of Credits — your credits follow you
Under NEP 2020, credits earned through an internship on this portal are deposited into your Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) account against your APAAR / ABC ID. They stay with you if you change college, take a break, or move to another university — and they count towards your degree wherever you go.
How it works
From registration to certificate
Six steps, and the portal does most of them for you — matching, posting, shortlisting and verification all happen the moment a demand goes up.
Register once, free
Students, colleges and employers register on the portal at no cost. One profile carries your skills, your stream and your location across every opening.
A demand in 15 seconds
An employer posts the intern demand in about fifteen seconds. The portal auto-matches it and auto-posts it to Google, Bing, Glassdoor, LinkedIn and similar platforms.
Shortlisting within seconds
Resumes are shortlisted on skills, experience and location within seconds — no waiting on a spreadsheet doing the rounds by email.
Your college validates it
Before a student joins or acknowledges an offer, the profile and availability are validated by their own college or university — so the record is genuine on both sides.
Verified companies only
Nothing but authentic, verified organisations appear on the portal. Every employer is KYC-checked before a single opening of theirs goes live.
Certificate & credits
On completion you get a verifiable internship certificate from the portal, and the earned credits are deposited to your Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) account.
Two sides, one portal
