Free remote software development internship

A completely free internship offering hands-on industrial training and mentorship, open to every student and fresher. Learn by building real software alongside working developers at RizTech Academy. Perform well and we'll hire you — and either way, we support your job placement.

Open to all students. Seats are limited, so at selection we give special preference to hard-working candidates from underprivileged and economically weaker backgrounds, and to students based in Pune and nearby areas.

Why this programme exists

Open to everyone. Weighted towards those who need it most.

Anyone can apply. The internship is free for every student we take on, and it always will be — we have never charged a fee and never will.

But talent is spread evenly and opportunity is not. Good training costs money many families do not have, and the students who would gain most from it are often the ones priced out of it. So when we choose between applicants, we give special preference to hard-working candidates from underprivileged and economically weaker backgrounds.

We are a small team, so seats are genuinely limited. Applying is open to all; where two candidates are equally strong, the seat goes to the one with fewer options.

What we look for

  • Effort over marksConsistency and willingness to learn count for more than a percentage on a certificate.
  • CuriosityPeople who take something apart to understand how it works.
  • ReliabilityTurning up, asking when stuck, and finishing what you start.
  • CircumstancesEveryone is welcome to apply. Between equally strong candidates, we favour the one with fewer options.

Applications are open to all. No certificates or documents are ever required — if you would like your circumstances considered, simply mention them at the interview, and we will keep what you share in confidence.

Internship FAQ

Common questions

Is there any fee for the internship?

No. The internship is completely free — free industrial training, mentorship, and job support. We never charge students any fee.

Is the internship remote?

Yes — the internship is fully remote and you work from home. All you need is a laptop and a reliable internet connection.

Who can apply for this internship?

Any student or recent graduate, from any stream, anywhere in India. Applications are open to everyone. Because seats are limited, we give special preference at selection to hard-working candidates from underprivileged and economically weaker backgrounds, and to students based in Pune and nearby areas — but nobody is barred from applying, and we look at effort and willingness to learn above marks or means.

Do you prefer candidates from Pune?

We give some preference to students based in Pune and nearby areas such as Wagholi, Kharadi, Viman Nagar, Hadapsar and Chandan Nagar, because being in the same city makes occasional in-person sessions and faster onboarding possible. It is a preference, not a requirement — applicants from elsewhere in India are welcome and are selected regularly.

Do I need to prove my financial background?

No documents are needed at any stage, and you are not required to discuss your circumstances at all. If you would like them considered, you can mention them at the interview and we will take you at your word and keep it in confidence. Not raising it does not count against you.

Do I need a computer science degree or coding experience?

No. Students and recent graduates from any stream can apply. Some basic programming familiarity helps, but genuine interest and willingness to learn matter far more — several of our best interns started with almost none.

Do you hire interns full-time?

Yes. Top-performing interns are offered full-time roles with RizTech Academy. Your internship is a real audition for a job with us.

What if I'm not hired at the end?

We still support your career. You get job placement help — resume reviews, mock interviews, and referrals to companies in our network — so you leave job-ready.

How long is the internship?

Internships typically run for 3–6 months depending on the track and your availability. We agree on the schedule before you start.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes — on successful completion you receive a certificate, and strong performers also get a letter of recommendation and real projects for their portfolio.
