Safety & Security Guidelines

For students

• Never pay money (registration, training, kit, security deposit) to get an internship. Report it immediately.
• Check the organisation online: website, LinkedIn, address. Look for a ✔ Verified badge.
• Do not share OTPs, bank details, Aadhaar/PAN copies or passwords.
• Meet in public or official places. Tell a family member or friend where you are going. For online internships, use official video platforms.
• Keep communication in writing and save the offer letter.

For employers

• Do not charge fees to students.
• Describe the role honestly, including whether it is paid or unpaid.
• Keep student data confidential and use it only for the internship process.
• Provide a safe, respectful environment and follow applicable laws.
