How the Expected Stipend Is Estimated
The 2026-27 stipend has not been confirmed in the sources available at the time of writing. Reports on earlier sessions show a range: TechJuice reports that interns in 2025-26 received Rs. 50,000 a month, while the Punjab government approved a higher package in October 2025 of Rs. 65,000 for graduate-level interns and Rs. 55,000 for intermediate-level interns. That is why this guide gives Rs. 50,000 – 65,000 as an expected range. Some unofficial websites quote even higher 2026-27 figures; treat those as unverified until they appear on the official portal or in the HED notification.
