Getting an IT Internship in Kathmandu: Practical Playbook
Where to look, what to show, and how to crack interviews - for students with zero experience.
By DigitalNepal · Updated 2026-09-15
Kathmandu internships go to students who show proof of work: 2-3 projects, GitHub activity, and basic English communication. Start applying 3 months before you want to join.
Steps
1Build proof first
Two complete projects + GitHub + LinkedIn profile. No proof, no reply - that's the market reality.
2Apply in 3 channels
LinkedIn/Easy jobs, company career pages, and referrals from seniors. 20+ tailored applications weekly.
3Prepare the 5 common questions
Introduce yourself, explain your project deeply, basic OOP/SQL, and 'why our company'.
4Treat unpaid offers carefully
Short learning-focused unpaid stints are okay; long unpaid 'jobs' with real responsibilities are exploitation.
Good to know: Never pay anyone for an internship placement. Genuine companies pay you (or at least teach you), not the reverse.
FAQ
