Internshala: start here for internships
Internshala is built around internships, lists the stipend on most of them and covers every field from engineering to content writing. Competition per listing is high, and there are fewer experienced or full-time roles.
Unstop: internships through competitions
Many companies hire interns from Unstop hackathons, quizzes and case competitions. It suits students who prefer to show skills over sending a resume. Plain job listings are a smaller part of the platform.
LinkedIn and Naukri: reach
LinkedIn is where product companies and startups post internships and where referrals happen; messaging recruiters directly needs Premium. Naukri has the largest employer base in India, and Naukri Campus adds a free aptitude test that some employers use to shortlist.
FirstHire: speed and a tailored resume
We make FirstHire. It collects internships from LinkedIn, Naukri and Unstop as they are posted, sends an alert within minutes, and can tailor your resume to each internship. It is much smaller than the apps above, so use it alongside them, not instead of them.
Frequently asked questions
Which app is best for internships in India?
Internshala has the most internship listings and shows stipends. Add Unstop if you like competitions, LinkedIn for product companies, and an alert app such as FirstHire if you want to apply in the first hours after a posting.
Are internship apps free for students?
Applying is free on all seven apps compared here. Some sell optional extras: Internshala sells trainings, Unstop and LinkedIn have paid plans, Naukri sells add-ons. Never pay an employer to get an internship.
How do I spot a fake internship?
Real employers do not charge a fee to apply, interview or join. Be careful with offers that come only through Telegram or WhatsApp, ask for a deposit, or promise pay for simple online tasks.
