The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has announced free, one-month online internship programmes in the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, aimed at providing practical exposure and job-orientated skills to students and young aspirants across the country.

The initiative is open primarily to Class 12 pass candidates, though several programmes also accept applicants who have completed Class 10, as well as graduates and post-graduates. Conducted entirely online, the internships are designed to make professional financial education accessible without cost, particularly for learners seeking entry-level exposure to taxation, finance, and capital markets.

Among the offerings is the GST Proficient Internship Program, a one-month course that introduces participants to Goods and Services Tax laws, return filing procedures, documentation requirements, and core taxation skills. The programme is open to candidates from Class 10 onwards and focuses on building a foundational understanding of India’s indirect tax framework.
