Learners who have shipped a containerised app with a pipeline (for example the Beginner programme) and want to work the way platform and DevOps teams do.
Intermediate level
Cloud and DevOps
Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes and Observability
Stop building servers by hand. Describe infrastructure in code, run containers on Kubernetes, and watch your system with metrics, logs and alerts, finishing with a reproducible environment that the NIBVEDA team reviews.

At a glance
Comfortable with Linux, Git, Docker and a CI pipeline. Docker Desktop, a code editor and a free cloud account or a local virtual machine. The Beginner programme or equivalent experience is recommended.
Pass the quizzes and labs, then submit a capstone project. The NIBVEDA team reviews it and either accepts it or sends it back with comments you can act on.

What you take away
An internship certificate with your skills on it.
Made for you automatically when you finish the last part, it names the internship programme, the level and the 40 hours, lists what you showed, and carries a number and a QR code. Anyone can check it on the NIBVEDA verification page, and it shows as withdrawn there if it is ever revoked.
- Proof you completed all 40 hours of this internship programme
- An Internship badge for your profile, CV or portfolio
- Not a job, a stipend or an academic degree, and it says so

Quick answers.
The policies have the full detail.
Is this a real internship?
It is a virtual internship programme: a structured, self-paced course built around a real project, with checked assessments and a certificate. It is not employment, it does not carry a stipend and it is not an academic or AICTE-approved qualification. What it gives you is verified, project-based evidence of skills.
How does self-paced work?
You start when you like and move at your own speed. Each part unlocks when you finish the one before it. There are no live classes and no deadlines. Your access is shown on each programme page.
How is my work checked?
Quizzes are marked as soon as you submit them. Labs use a tick-list of tasks. Intermediate and Expert programmes finish with a capstone that the NIBVEDA team reviews and either accepts or sends back with comments.
Can I get a refund?
Please read the refund policy before you buy. It explains when a refund is possible.
