What happened
Oasis Infobyte markets 4–6 week remote internships in web development, data science, cybersecurity, and other domains, often claiming AICTE association. Students report instant selection without interviews, generic self-paced tasks, coordination through Telegram/LinkedIn groups instead of real mentors, and pressure to post about the internship online. Many say certificates or completion documents are only issued after paying a fee (sometimes described as a donation or certificate charge). Critics describe the programs as certificate mills with little placement or learning value.
Why it seemed suspicious
No technical screening, certificate fees, heavy social-media promotion requirements, vague AICTE claims without verifiable approval links, and widespread student warnings grouping Oasis Infobyte with similar low-value internship certificate schemes.
