The framework, in one paragraph
Kerala’s FYUGP, run under the KSHEC framework, expects students to earn internship credits through structured, evaluated work, typically 2 credits for a 120-hour engagement after the fourth semester. The operative words are structured and evaluated: a letter saying you visited an office does not survive scrutiny, and departments are getting stricter each season.
What the paperwork actually requires
Plan for four artefacts: a syllabus or work plan stating what the 120 hours contain; activity logs; a project deliverable with a short report; and an evaluation against a rubric, signed by a mentor. Cokonet’s internship certificates carry a unique verification ID and a performance evaluation formatted for FYUGP submission, and we share the syllabus and compliance documentation for your HoD’s review on request.
The approved-list trap
Here is the step that saves a semester: ask your department, before you pay anyone, whether it accepts any KSHEC-aligned internship certificate or keeps a specific approved list. Both policies exist across Kerala’s eleven universities, sometimes in adjacent departments of the same college. Students from colleges affiliated with every Kerala university on the official Internship Kerala portal have taken our tracks, but your department’s word is the one that counts.
Picking a track that earns more than credits
The credits are the floor. A 120-hour internship that leaves you with a configured SAP scenario, a live dashboard or a published campaign is a CV line that outlives the semester, and completers get priority access to internship vacancies across our 400+ hiring partners. The internships page lays out all seven tracks, the six steps and the fee process.
