Data Science Internship
OpalCode is offering a remote Data Science Internship that runs for 2 months and has 10 openings. The stipend is ₹7,000 to ₹20,000 a month, split into a fixed part and an incentive part.
How the stipend looks
The range of ₹7,000 to ₹20,000 a month sits below typical for remote internships in the same field. It is made up of fixed pay of ₹5,000 - 15,000 a month plus incentive pay of ₹2,000 - 5,000 a month, so what you earn depends partly on the incentive. The internship also gives a certificate and a letter of recommendation.
What you would work on
This is hands-on data science work built around practical projects, with mentors guiding you along the way.
- Clean, preprocess and explore datasets, then analyse them with Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib and Scikit-learn.
- Use statistical and machine learning methods to spot patterns and produce predictions or insights, and build, test and evaluate basic models.
- Join sessions led by mentors, act on their feedback, and finish the assigned projects along with their documentation.
Who can apply and what to line up
The posting is wide open on background. Students in any year of college can apply, as can fresh graduates, entry-level candidates and people restarting a career after a break, including women returning to work. Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, AI and Engineering backgrounds may be preferred, but other disciplines are welcome too.
- You need to be free for the full 2 months and able to begin between 20th Oct'26 and 24th Nov'26.
- Interest in data, Python, statistics and machine learning matters. Prior Python or ML knowledge helps but is not required.
- Be ready to learn, work with datasets, finish practical projects and take guidance from mentors.

How to get ready before you apply
- Practise cleaning a messy dataset in Pandas and plotting what you find with Matplotlib. It is the first thing this internship describes.
- Train one simple model in Scikit-learn and write down how you evaluated it. Even a small project gives you something concrete to talk about.
- Refresh basic SQL queries, since SQL is on the skills list.
- Read up on the basics of NLP and deep learning, as both are named in the skills list. You do not need depth, but you should know the terms.
- Keep your project notes tidy. Documentation is part of the work, so a clear write-up shows you can do it.
