MIP was officially launched in 2022 with the aim of identifying potential candidates for full-time positions. Similar to other internship programs, MIP was temporarily suspended in late 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. {{Cite book |last=- Asif Zaman - Hasanul Banna - Mohammad Arshadul Alam Rakib - Shakil Ahmed |first=North South University |title=Impact of Covid-19 on University Final Year Internship Students |publisher=Journal of Software Engineering and Applications |date=January 2021 |edition=CC BY 4.0 |pages=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353976176_Impact_of_Covid-19_on_University_Final_Year_Internship_Students |language=English}}

The MIP's pedagogical approach aligns with David Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory {{Cite book |last=David |first=A.

Interns undergo a cyclical learning process involving concrete experiences, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. This methodology ensures that interns not only acquire practical skills but also develop a deep understanding of theoretical concepts through hands-on application.
