Over 100,000 candidates have been selected to participate in internships across 12 diverse domains. These internships are expected to be concluded by July 31, 2023. The primary aim of this initiative is to provide internship experiences to students hailing from tier-3 cities and rural areas, where opportunities are often scarce. These skilling programmes aim to extend their reach to students who typically lack access to advanced technical opportunities, thus fostering entrepreneurial endeavours throughout the nation.

For this initiative, AICTE has onboarded MNCs, in order to impart skilling and internship opportunities to students.
