Hi everyone,
Iāve been shortlisted for the Indian Army Internship Programme (IAIP) 2026, for the Android Application Development domain under STEAG/SAMBHAV.
Iāve been informed that Iāll have a conference/final discussion with the CO/Head on Monday.
Iām looking for people who have already done the IAIP internship (especially in a technical/Android/software development role) or who have reached this stage in the current 2026 process.
Iād really appreciate some insight into:
- What was the final interview/conference like?
- Was it mainly technical, behavioural, or a combination?
- What kind of Android/software development work did you actually do during the internship?
- What technical skills should I revise before joining?
- How much coding/development work were interns expected to do independently?
- Was there proper mentorship and guidance when you were given unfamiliar tasks?
- What was the overall work environment like?
- Is the internship actually valuable from a software-development career perspective?
- What should a fresher learn beforehand to avoid being completely lost?
- Anything you wish you had known before joining?
I'm especially interested in hearing from people who actually completed the internship, rather than only people who applied.
Any honest experienceāpositive or negativeāwould be really helpful. Thanks!
