Infosys Offers Internship For Class 12th Passout Students: No Stipend, But Certificate Promised

Many people crib about the Indian education system. The primary fault they find in our education system is lack of exposure to the actual world and too much focus on theoretical aspects. At times the system has tried to overhaul itself by inculcating project works but still, the effort fails to prepare students for the real world.

And only to bridge this gap in the education system, Infosys, the tech giant in India has launched an internship program under its CSR initiative.

Infosys launches internship program for 12^th passed students

As a part of its CSR initiative, Springboard, Infosys has announced an 8 to 12-week long internship program. “The Infosys Springboard internship program is an excellent learning opportunity for students or learners who are aspiring professionals to hone their existing skills and transition to global corporate professionals,” the company says.

It should be noted that students will be mentored by Infosys experts in order to teach them the application of theoretical knowledge into practical work.

The program will be conducted virtually, and as it is a CSR initiative of the company, no stipend will be paid to students. However, a certificate of completion will be given after students successfully finish the internship. As the program has a limited number of seats, Infosys may hold examinations or interviews of applicants. 

Noteworthy points for the Internship are as follows:

• Interested candidates must have passed the 12th standard or equivalent or higher examination from a recognized board or university and must be pursuing graduation or completed graduation or post-graduation.
• All the selected candidates will need to complete all the pre-requisite courses suggested for the topic of the project, and will also need to secure 60 percent in the self-assessment examinations of the courses.
