I guess you are still under student VISA. If so, why dont you simply ignore the period spent as student and claim points for earnings before you became a full time student?
If you have not earned enough in the period above then you should be able to claim points for earnings during the internship, provided your current VISA allows you to work.

Thank you very much for response,

i came to uk on student visa issue on jul-2006 since sep-2006 i m studying in the UK but before i was working in pakistan with very low income so cant claim points for earning in pakistan. I have the following points

Education: MBA(taugt in english) 35 points
Earning: internship income 14,000 + part time job income 6,000
apart from internship i am working part time as well under 20 hours which allow according to the UK law so my total earning for last 12month is above GBP 20,000
so i have 15 points for earning

Uk experience 5 points
AGe: 20 points

so i have enough points to apply for tier1 general but only question i have in mind my will home office consider the income i have earned during full time work which is internship keeping in mind that i am on student visa.

i shall be very thankful for your comments
