Location considerations, duration, among reasons for applicants not accepting PM Internship Scheme offers: Govt
The government said that many youth declined internship offers under the PM Internship Scheme (PMIS) pilot due to factors like location, internship duration, and higher education plans. Launched in October 2024, the scheme aims to offer 1 crore internships in five years. Despite over 1.27 lakh internships posted in the first round, only 8,700 candidates joined. Feedback will shape the scheme’s full rollout.
