Meity partners with private firm to help tech students find internships

The NIELIT, the autonomous scientific society of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, or Meity, has partnered with Internshala to help freshly trained tech students find first break in their careers. 

According to an MoU signed between the two bodies, the private platform will help NIELIT-trained students with internships and employment opportunities. 

The National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology will spread awareness about the platform across its centres and assign placement officers to convey job activities on the portal, a statement from Internshala said. 

Internshala will also conduct an 'Employability Skill Test' for NIELIT students, and create an 'Analytical Skill Report' based on their performance to increase the placement opportunities. 

The question bank for the test will be prepared by Internshala and moderated by NIELIT, it said.

Sarvesh Agrawal, Founder and CEO of Internshala said, "We aim to enhance employability and ensure that students are equipped with the skills and experiences that the modern job market demands."

According to the statement, Internshala already has memorandums of understanding with the Ministry of Education (AICTE & Swayam Plus), Ministry of Skill Development (NSDC), and Meity – the three ministries working in the area of education and skilling.
