Who Can Apply?

We welcome students from any Indian college or university.

You qualify if you are:

  • Currently enrolled in any Indian college/university (B.Tech, BCA, MCA, BSc, MBA, etc.)
  • Able to commit 8–12 hours per week
  • Comfortable with at least one programming language
  • Willing to deliver a working, deployed feature — not just a report
  • Available to complete the project within the agreed timeline

This is NOT for you if:

  • You only want the tools and have no intention of actually building
  • You need a fully-guided internship (this is self-driven)
  • You want to use the tools for personal projects unrelated to INDDN

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

Which Claude plan do I get?
You get Claude Pro access (the paid plan) for the full duration of your project. It's activated as soon as you're onboarded and stays active until you complete or exit the project.
What does "free hosting" actually mean?
Your project is hosted on INDDN's infrastructure at no cost. That includes a subdomain (e.g., jobs.inddn.in), a database, and SSL. You don't manage servers — we handle devops.
Can I pick any project I want?
Yes — apply for whichever project interests you. We'll confirm availability and match your skills during onboarding. If a project is already taken we'll suggest alternatives.
Does this count as an internship for my college?
This is project-based work experience. Whether your college accepts it as an internship credit depends on your institution — most do for real deployed projects. We don't issue formal certificates.
What happens if I can't finish?
Let us know before you drop out and we'll hand off what you've built to the next student. We only revoke Claude access if you stop communicating entirely for more than 2 weeks without notice.
Can a team of 2–3 students apply together?
Yes! Teams of up to 3 are welcome. Each team member gets their own Claude subscription. Just mention team size in your application.
