FAQs
1. Are you guys serious? You would reward me for my own internship hunt?

If the internship gets selected for publication on Internshala, we would reward you with mobile phone top-up worth Rs. 100 for each link. If you share 3 or more such links which get published, you would win a cool limited edition Internshala T-Shirt.

3. How do you define a meaningful internship?
A. If it’s an internship that you would be proud to have on your CV and would have considered applying yourself; then chances are that it’s a meaningful internship. If in doubt, surf around and see some of the internships posted here and you would get a feel. If still in doubt, we would suggest that you share the links and let us decide.
4. Do the internships need to be in a particular category?
A. No. Engineering, Pure Science, MBA, Social Science, Journalism & Media, Law etc. Any discipline entries to which Bachelors or Masters degree students can apply are eligible for prize money as long as they are meaningful. However, Indian students must be eligible to apply. While we prefer paid internships, we are OK looking at unpaid ones too.
5. Are training programs counted as internships?
A. Training programs that need a specific amount of deposit from the student’s end are not considered as internships. However, project/dissertation training for pre-final/final year students are accepted if they don’t require fee of any kind.
6. Do the internships that I submit need to be from the same education stream as my study program?
A. No, you can submit internships for other streams too. In-fact chances are that those internships which are not relevant to your area of study are more likely to get submitted. However, Indian students must be eligible to apply. While we prefer paid internships, we are OK looking at unpaid ones too.
7. I know a few other internship portals. Can I provide you with their URL? Would that count?
A. If you submit link of a particular internship posted on other portals and if that entry gets selected for publication on Internshala, it would be counted. Submitting the link of the entire portal as it is (eg. www.internshala.com) would not count.
8. How would I know whether an internship link submitted by me has been published?
A. We would notify you over email whenever a link submitted by you is published on the portal.
9. What if more than one person submit the same link? Who gets the credit?
A. If the same internship link is submitted by more than 1 person and gets published on the portal, the person who submitted it first (basis time stamp of submission) would be rewarded.
10. When would I get the prize money?
A. Prizes are awarded as soon as an internship is published and you would also receive a confirmation email regarding the same.
11. Again, are you guys serious?
A. Yes.
