A production-grade AI/ML-powered internship matching system designed for the PM Internship Scheme to intelligently match thousands of students with internship opportunities while ensuring affirmative action compliance and optimal allocation.
Location: ml-service/
A sophisticated AI/ML matching engine with:
- Semantic Skill Matching: Uses Sentence Transformers (
all-MiniLM-L6-v2) for deep skill similarity - Multi-Factor Scoring: 5-factor weighted algorithm (Skills 35%, Qualification 25%, Location 15%, Sector 15%, Diversity 10%)
- Affirmative Action: Built-in diversity boost for SC/ST/OBC, rural/aspirational districts, first-time applicants
- Batch Processing: Handles thousands of matches efficiently
- Optimization Engine: Maximizes overall allocation quality with capacity constraints
- RESTful API: FastAPI with automatic OpenAPI documentation

- Input: Student profiles + Internship opportunities
- Skill Encoding: Convert skills to 384-dimensional embeddings using Sentence Transformers
- Similarity Calculation:
- Semantic similarity (cosine similarity)
- Direct skill overlap ratio
- Multi-Factor Scoring:
- Skills (35%): Semantic + overlap
- Qualification (25%): Education level + CGPA
- Location (15%): Preference matching
- Sector (15%): Interest alignment
- Diversity (10%): Affirmative action boost
- Ranking: Sort by overall score
- Output: Top N matches per student with detailed explanations
The system provides automatic diversity boosts:
- +0.2: SC/ST/OBC social categories
- +0.2: Rural/Aspirational districts
- +0.1: First-time applicants (no prior internships)
All configurable via environment variables.
