Most central government internships require a minimum of graduation, while PSU internships typically accept engineering students. The PM Internship Scheme is open to candidates from 10th pass to graduates aged 18-25.
Common documents required include Aadhaar card, educational certificates and marksheets, passport-size photographs, a Statement of Purpose (SOP), and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your institution. Some programs also require a recommendation letter from a faculty member.
Always apply through official government portals. Never pay any fee to middlemen or third-party agents. Bookmark the individual program pages on FreshersLive for direct links to official application portals and deadline reminders.
