The Punjab government has announced the availability of 2,000 IT internships under the Chief Minister IT Internship Program. These internships provide a monthly stipend of Rs. 50,000 to the selected graduates as they undergo a four-month internship program. The initiative is part of the Work for Punjab platform, carried out in partnership with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).

Applicants must possess at least a 16-year education in fields such as Computer Science, Information Technology, or related disciplines, with a degree completed within the last four years. The internship duration is four months, during which the interns will work with participating companies to gain practical experience in professional IT settings. This program aims to equip fresh graduates with job-ready skills and provide them with real-world industry exposure.

Eligible candidates need to be unemployed at the time of application and must hold a valid CNIC and be Punjab domiciled. Upon successful completion of the internship, interns will submit monthly progress reports, maintain required attendance, and receive satisfactory evaluations from their supervisors. The stipend payments are contingent on these criteria, as well as the verification of the candidates' degree by the Higher Education Commission.
