Internship & industrial training

Paid and unpaid internships and industrial training for college students, run under our LearnSmart HP programme on live client projects.

We run industrial training and internships out of our Shimla office under LearnSmart HP, our training programme, taught by the developers who build the government portals and business systems the company ships. The projects are live, the review is the same review our own work gets, and the point is that you leave able to do the job rather than able to describe it.

Internships for college students

Two routes in, depending on what you need and what you can commit. Both put you on live client work with a supervisor — the difference is depth and whether you’re paid.

  • Industry exposure internship — unpaid. The short one, for students who need documented industry exposure for a college requirement. You sit with a project team, take supervised tasks on real work, and leave with a certificate and something specific to talk about in an interview. No prior experience assumed beyond basic computer literacy.
  • Project internship — paid. The longer one, for students who can commit properly and are ready to contribute. You’re given real responsibility on a live build, reviewed the way our developers are reviewed, and paid a stipend for the work. Places are limited per intake and we select for readiness, not for who applied first.
  • ITI partnership places. Students from ITI Shimla and ITI Sunni come through the memoranda described below, which commit us to up to 30 students a year across the two institutes.

If you’re unsure which fits, apply anyway and say what you’re studying — we’d rather place you on the right one than have you pick blind.

Working with the ITIs

In 2019 we signed memoranda of understanding with the Industrial Training Institutes at Shimla and Sunni, covering curriculum review, faculty exchange, joint projects and workshops, and committing to train up to 30 students a year from the two institutes. The full agreement is written up in our note on the MoUs.

The reason it existed is the reason the training programme exists: what an institute teaches and what a working development team needs drift apart quickly, and the gap is closed by putting students on real projects rather than by rewriting a syllabus once every few years.

What the training isn’t

  • Not a lecture course. You’ll be on live projects with a supervisor, reviewed the way our developers are reviewed.
  • Not a placement guarantee. We provide placement assistance and introductions through contacts we actually have. Anyone promising you a job in writing is selling you something else.
  • Not a certificate mill. The certificate follows completed work. If the work isn’t finished, neither is the course.

Courses

The two tracks with a full syllabus

Development and design run as separate tracks with their own levels. The other four subject areas below are taught within them, or as short workshops.

Web development training

Three-, six- and nine-month tracks from HTML and CSS through to full-stack, taught on live client projects.

Web designing training

UI and UX, responsive technique, prototyping and accessibility, taught on live client projects rather than exercises.

What's included

How we scope this

Web development

HTML and CSS through to JavaScript, server-side scripting and the frameworks actually used on client work — front end and back end, not one without the other.

Web designing

UI and UX principles, wireframing and prototyping, responsive technique and the Adobe tools the work runs through.

App development

Mobile fundamentals across iOS and Android, cross-platform builds, interface design and what it takes to get something through store review.

SEO & social media

Keyword work, analytics and the metrics that matter, content strategy and social media management — measured, not posted and hoped for.

APIs & payment gateways

REST APIs, authentication methods and payment gateway integration, including what handling a transaction securely actually requires.

AI & machine learning

Supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, data preprocessing and feature engineering, then evaluating and deploying a model rather than stopping at training it.

How we work

The process, in order

  1. 01

    Apply

    Tell us what you've studied and what you want to work on. There's no entrance test — the beginner track assumes basic computer literacy and nothing else.

  2. 02

    Match

    We place you on a track sized to where you actually are: three months for fundamentals, six for framework-level work, nine for full stack.

  3. 03

    Build

    Live projects supervised by the developers who ship client work, in our Kasumpati office or online, on a schedule that works around a college timetable.

  4. 04

    Certify

    A certificate on completion, plus placement assistance through the industry contacts the company already has.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to know before starting?
Nothing for the beginner track beyond basic computer literacy. The advanced and full-stack tracks assume you can already build something simple, and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits after we’ve talked.
How long are the courses?
Three months for the beginner track, six for advanced, nine for full stack. Specialist workshops on things like web security, performance and SEO for developers run over one to two days.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, on successful completion. Placement assistance comes with it — introductions and support through the industry contacts we have, which is not the same as a guaranteed job, and we won’t describe it as one.
Can I do this alongside college?
Yes — online and in-person options both run, and the schedule is built around the fact that most people on these courses are studying at the same time.
Are your internships paid?
Both kinds run. The short industry exposure internship is unpaid — it exists for students who need documented exposure for a college requirement. The longer project internship carries a stipend, because you’re contributing to live client work. Places on the paid track are limited per intake.
What is LearnSmart HP?
It’s the name our training and internship programme runs under. Same Shimla office, same developers, same live client projects — the training side simply has its own identity separate from the client-services work.
