PM Internship Scheme: Application Deadline Extended to April 15 – Here’s How to Apply

The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme (PMIS), introduced in the Union Budget by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, aims to enhance youth employability by providing practical experience through internships with India’s top 500 firms.

Initially set to close on 31st March, the registration deadline for round 2 has now been extended until 15th April, allowing more students and young professionals to apply.

Internship Benefits and Stipend

Participants in the PMIS will receive a monthly stipend of ₹5,000 for a 12-month internship. Of this amount, ₹500 will be contributed by the employer, with the remaining ₹4,500 directly transferred to the intern’s Aadhaar-linked bank account by the government.

Additionally, each intern will be awarded a one-time grant of ₹6,000. The stipend is subject to the intern’s conduct, performance, and attendance during the internship period.

Eligibility Criteria

The scheme is open to Indian citizens aged between 21 and 24 years. Eligible candidates must have completed either Class 10, Class 12, a diploma, or an undergraduate degree. However, the scheme is exclusively for unemployed students—individuals currently engaged in part-time or full-time employment are ineligible. Students pursuing online or distance learning programmes can also apply.
