This guide walks you through everything from creating your candidate login to reporting at your allotted school on the first day.
What is Shala Darpan Internship?
The Shala Darpan Internship is a school based practical training program run by the Rajasthan government’s School Education Department.

How to Fill School Preferences
This is the most important step. Mistakes here can leave you unallotted.
- After login, go to the “Internship Request” section on your dashboard
- Select your district and block where you want to do the internship
- Browse the available schools. Use the Vacancy List (available publicly on the portal homepage) to check seat availability before selecting
- Select at least 15 schools. Students who select fewer schools have a much higher chance of getting “No Allotment”
- Arrange your preferred schools in order of priority
- Click “Save”, but do not stop here
- Click “Lock Choice” this is mandatory. If you only save without locking, the system will ignore your application entirely
Critical: Once you lock your choices, you cannot change them. School change is allowed only once after allotment, through Candidate Login, subject to seat availability. After that, no changes are possible at any level.

Conclusion
The Shala Darpan Internship process is fully online and well structured but there are a few steps where students commonly go wrong. The two most critical ones are: always locking your choices (not just saving), and ensuring your joining is marked on the portal by the school principal on day one.
Start by checking the official internship schedule to confirm your course’s current phase window. Log in on time, fill a wide range of school preferences, lock them before the deadline, download your allotment letter, and report to school with all three required documents.
