ABSTRACT: This project explores the awareness and perception of students regarding the Prime Minister's Internship Scheme 2024, a government initiative aimed at enhancing youth employability through practical industry exposure. The scheme, designed for unemployed individuals aged 21 to 24 from non-government-employed families, offers internships in India’s top 500 companies along with a government stipend. Despite its potential, awareness about the scheme remains limited among students. The study focuses on students from the top 10 NIRF-ranked colleges in India and aims to assess their knowledge and attitudes toward the scheme. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using statistical tools such as chi-square, ANOVA, and correlation. Findings indicate a significant gap between the scheme’s objectives and students' awareness, highlighting the need for improved communication and outreach strategies. The research not only underlines the importance of bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world experience through internships but also emphasizes the critical role of government initiatives in shaping future employment opportunities. By identifying challenges in awareness and perception, the study offers insights for enhancing the effectiveness of such programs and ensuring broader student engagement.
