The “Heavy Hitter”: Codec Technologies (₹22k/Month)
Let’s be real—a ₹22,000 stipend for an internship is higher than some starting salaries in India. Codec Technologies is hiring 60 interns across major hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai.
One thing most students miss: High pay equals high expectations. If I were you, I’d make sure my GitHub profile is linked and active. They aren’t looking for people who “know” React; they want people who have built and deployed apps. If you are in your final year and can move to these cities, this is your golden ticket to a PPO (Pre-Placement Offer).
The “Silent” Winner: Medical Coding & Billing
Not everyone is a coder. If you’re from a Life Sciences, Pharma, or even a General Science background, Smart Minds Academy is offering virtual internships in Medical Coding and Billing.
The Reality Check: While it’s unpaid, this is a massive industry in the US and Europe. Getting this training for free via an AICTE-recognized portal is a great move for your resume if you want to enter the healthcare IT sector.
