PM Internship Scheme in Chandigarh
Chandigarh is India's best-planned city and the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana. Mohali (SAS Nagar) has developed into a significant IT hub with Infosys, Quark, DLF IT Park, and many tech companies. The city's high per-capita income makes it a priority market for FMCG and banking companies, which run active sales and service operations here.
Economic Overview
Chandigarh is India's best-planned city and the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana. Mohali (SAS Nagar) has developed into a significant IT hub with Infosys, Quark, DLF IT Park, and many tech companies.

What to Expect as an Intern
Chandigarh is one of the most comfortable cities in India to live and work — clean roads, green spaces, excellent infrastructure, and a disciplined civic culture. Cost of living is moderate.

Mohali's IT zone is the main target for tech internships — Infosys Mohali campus and several BPO companies offer structured roles. Banking internships across Chandigarh's HDFC, ICICI, and Axis branches are competitive but well-structured. The city's proximity to Haryana and Punjab auto/FMCG clusters makes it a good base for field-sales roles too.
