CareerID vs Internshala
Published by CareerID · Editorial standards
On Internshala, students apply with a resume and written answers that employers read. On CareerID, applicants to internships and jobs take a proctored four-layer test generated from the job description, the score decides the shortlist, and employers interview in CareerID's own room. Students are judged on what they can do, not on how an application is written.
