The Army started the pilot project in May 2025. The specialised tech-infusion trials, which began in 2025 focusing on wargaming, simulation and niche research, has now expanded into a structured multi-project initiative across army directorates offering up to 43 specialised tracks.The Army has already received over 77,000 applications since the programme opening, and the last date to apply is set as Aug 15. “A student can apply for multiple Indian Army internship opportunities, but a student can accept only one internship offer letter. Before accepting an offer letter, ensure it is the opportunity that best matches student’s skills, interests, and career aspirations,” the AICTE website said.
