🛠️ Fixing Common Portal Errors (April 30 Updates)
Q: “My Aadhaar e-KYC is failing on the PM Internship site!”
-
Solution: This is due to high traffic today. Ensure your mobile number is linked to Aadhaar and try after 11:00 PM. Also, check if your name on the portal matches your Aadhaar exactly.
Q: “I didn’t get the SBI YFI Recommender email.”
-
Solution: Ask your professor/mentor to check their Spam Folder. In 2026, many academic firewalls are blocking the automated SBI links.
Final Thoughts
Don’t let a “Server Busy” message stop your career. These internships are the best way to get a high-paying job or a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO) in 2027.
