Beginners, students and hobbyists who want to start making real electronic devices, with no electronics experience needed.
Beginner level
Embedded Systems and IoT
Build Your First Smart Devices
Learn how electronics and microcontrollers work and program an Arduino in C++ to read buttons and sensors, drive LEDs, servos and displays, structure code without blocking, debug hardware and build a working device. No hardware is required to start, because everything can be built in a free online simulator.

At a glance
Curiosity and basic computer skills. No programming or electronics knowledge is assumed. You can complete every exercise in the free Wokwi or Tinkercad simulators; an Arduino Uno starter kit is helpful but optional.
Pass the quizzes, complete the labs and submit your capstone. Everything is checked as you go and your certificate is issued the moment you finish.
What you will be able to do
- 01Explain voltage, current and resistance and size resistors for LEDs and sensors
- 02Write Arduino C++ sketches that read inputs and control outputs including PWM
- 03Use analog sensors, an ultrasonic sensor, a servo and an I2C LCD
- 04Structure programs with millis() timing, functions and simple state machines instead of blocking delays
- 05Debug circuits and code methodically and finish a documented device project

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 41 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 Anyone can check it on the NIBVEDA verification page, and it shows as withdrawn there if it is ever revoked.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 41 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.
