Usman · updated September 2026keyword: INTERNTiming: apply the summer after 6th semester — structured programs open then and fill fast. Bigger structured intakes: Systems Limited, NETSOL, 10Pearls. Smaller, deeper learning (AI/data/fintech): Arbisoft, Devsinc, i2c. Reported stipend range ≈ PKR 25–60k/mo (verify on Rozee.pk; not guaranteed). What gets you in: a GitHub, 2 real projects, and one AI/data skill (worth ~30–50% more — Glassdoor). Internships come from projects, not GPA. Confirm each company’s cycle is open before applying.
