This is a curated PDF guide to 20 official Government of India internship portals — from PMIS and NITI Aayog to ISRO, DRDO, RBI, MEA, MyGov, and more — built specifically for college students and freshers who want real experience (and a credible certificate) without falling for fake listings.

What you get:

A quick-reference table of all 20 portals with official website links

Detailed eligibility criteria for each (UG/PG/fresher-friendly, marks cutoffs, age limits)

Freshers wanting a government-backed certificate for their resume

Anyone tired of Googling "govt internship 2026" and landing on clickbait sites
