Hello Aditya ,

Only a full time job is counted as work experience . As you will be getting a certificate of internship , it wouldn't be counted as work-ex. but yes , you will surely get some advantage in your profile.

Internship cannpt be counted as work experience.

Fulktim ejob only can b etaken into accounts as when documents get verified it can caus e problems.

You can however include internship experience and boast all ifs learning in Application forms and resunes.

It will have good advantage in interviews for sure.
