I know that many of you do not live in metro cities or in locations where doing an offline internship is possible. Even during my time studying at Delhi University, I didn’t have the opportunity to pursue offline internships due to the challenges of managing it alongside college commitments. Therefore, I’ve prepared a article to share three methods for pursuing online internships from home, which can significantly enhance your resume.

NHRC Internships (National Human Rights Commission)
The NHRC internship is a unique government opportunity offered exclusively online, unlike most other government internships which are offline. It spans just 15 days, making it one of the shortest government internships available. During this period, interns participate in 40-50 sessions on human rights sensitization, virtual field visits, and a group project. Despite its brevity, interns receive a stipend of ₹2000 and a valuable government certificate. Eligibility is open to students in their 3rd year or beyond, including postgraduate students, provided they have scored over 60% in their previous academic year.
Application Process
To apply, ensure you submit your application within 10 days of the announcement, excluding June, July, November, and December. You’ll also need a signed Letter of Recommendation from your college, which can now be expedited through the Odoo Sign app for online signatures.
Forage Internships
Forage provides virtual job simulations across various industries, allowing you to gain practical experience and earn certificates in fields like investment banking and marketing. These simulations are self-paced and involve tasks like drafting emails, creating presentations, and modeling financial scenarios. Completion earns you a certificate from the respective company, enhancing your resume and LinkedIn profile.
How It Works
Explore job simulations on Forage’s website, select your area of interest, and complete tasks tailored to real-world scenarios. Tasks include professional correspondence and financial modeling, followed by feedback and a certificate upon completion.
Reaching Out to Startups from TV Shows
A unique approach involves reaching out to startups featured on platforms like Shark Tank India. Many of these startups are actively hiring and may offer online internship opportunities. By researching and contacting these companies directly, you can secure valuable experience and potentially contribute to their growth.
Steps to Apply
Utilize a list of companies from Shark Tank India Season 3, available with contact details, to directly approach startups for internship opportunities. Tailor your resume and express your interest in specific roles, leveraging the virtual nature of these startups for remote work possibilities.
Conclusion
These three categories provide diverse opportunities for online internships, catering to different interests and career aspirations. Whether you’re interested in government work, corporate simulations, or startup environments, these options can help you gain valuable experience and enhance your professional profile without the constraints of location-based internships.
