India is the only market where a regulator makes the internship compulsory and the institution has no capacity to source it. That combination is why this is the home engine.
Four milestone gates, each AI-graded against the rubric and logged toward internship credit.
Engineers Clinic is not accredited by these bodies. Our projects produce outcome-mapped evidence that supports an institution's own accreditation reporting.
Each project below is tagged with the outcomes it evidences for National Board of Accreditation, India.
Each one ships with a 10-step guided workspace, AI grading against a published rubric, and a verifiable certificate.
An AI assistant that answers student queries from circulars, syllabi and exam rules with citations — and refuses when the answer is not in the documents.

Internship role: Software Developer Intern. Issue tamper-evident certificates signed by the institution, store them in a student wallet, and let anyone verify one by scanning its QR code, including revoked certificates.
Why India: DigiLocker and the Academic Bank of Credits have made digital credentials normal in India; colleges want their own certificates to verify the same way.
Internship role: Machine Learning Intern. Fine-tune and evaluate a speech-to-text model on one Indian language for agricultural queries, report word error rate by accent and noise level, and wrap it in a simple helpline demo.
Why India: Most Indian farmers prefer speaking to typing, and Bhashini-style language AI is a national priority.
