Your score does not hamper your chances for obtaining a good GRE score as the GRE exam is considered independently by the admissions committee. In order to score well, it should take a candidate around 2-3 months of preparation (if he or she knows basic mathematics till the CBSE class 10 level).

A wide variety of preparation material for the GRE is available both offline and online and the ETS GRE guide is the primary book you will require for preparation. Apart from this, the Baron's 333 word list and the Kaplan 900 word lists are integral for preparation for the verbal section. A GRE score of 310+ will be sufficient for admission into an arts post graduate course. Click here for more tips on how to score better in the GRE exam.

Concerning your lack of interning experience, pursuing some relevant online courses to your desired postgraduate will also play a role in compensating for not having done an internship. Various online courses which award certifications are generally taken into regard by the admissions committee. On the other hand, if you are applying for the fall 2019 session, then you have ample time to pursue a 2-3 month internship right now. 

Finally, your Statement of Purpose or SOP can play a major role in compensating for your lack of interning experience. So it is advised that you write 3-4 drafts and carry out rigorous editing before submitting the final version of your SOP through the admissions portal.

Hey. Chances in GRE basically depend on your score. Also, regarding internship and experience you can do that right now. Or if you're started with your studies then you can gain some experience after you've given the paper and then wait to see your results.
All the best!
