The OKCL Internship is aligned with NEP 2020 norms, which recommends structured internship as part of experiential learning. Many universities in Odisha recognise this internship for fulfilling academic credit requirements. We recommend checking with your college or university to confirm the credit recognition policy applicable to your programme.
Upon successful completion of all 120 hours, submission of your internship diary, and feedback on the portal, your Internship Completion Certificate is auto-generated by the official OKCL system.

The OKCL Structured Internship Programme is in-person at an Authorised Learning Centre.

Physical attendance is mandatory for documentation, monitoring, and verification purposes.
