Who posted the most
IQVIA posted the most engineering internships: 22 of 425.
159 employers posted at least one. The ten busiest posted 123 between them. Some post one role in several cities, so a count of postings is not a count of different jobs.
| IQVIA | 22 | |
|---|---|---|
| S&P Global | 19 | |
| Honeywell | 16 | |
| Kaleris | 15 | |
| Siemens | 12 | |

Who said what they pay
Only 19 of 425 postings stated a stipend.
None of the 10 busiest employers stated one on any posting. A posting that states no figure is not necessarily unpaid; it means the pay was not on the listing.

How fast the applicant queue forms
About 1 in 9 already had 100 or more applicants when we found it.

How this was measured
We track engineering internships as they are published on public job boards and on companies' own careers pages, and record each one the first time we see it. This report counts every internship we first recorded in India between 1 September 2026 and 30 September 2026; entry-level full-time roles are not counted.
A posting only reaches the board if its employer is on a list we keep of companies we believe are real and actually pay interns. The list grows as we add employers, so a bigger total from one month to the next can mean a bigger list rather than a bigger market. Employers are counted as they stood on that list when this report was compiled.
What these numbers are not
- Not a census of every internship in India. It covers the employers that pass the gate above.
- “Did not state a stipend” does not mean unpaid. It means the posting carried no figure we could read.
- Applicant counts are the posting's own figure at the moment we found it, not a final count.
- Skills, city and work mode are read from the posting text, so something the posting does not mention is missing rather than absent.
