NALANDA UNIVERSITY (NU) INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME

Status: Open (Rolling Internship Programme)

The NU internship programme will provide an opportunity for young thinking minds with good academic records from reputed institutions to engage and understand institution building. Ideas from budding scholars, we believe, will be important in the establishment of Nalanda. On the other hand, the internship programme will also provide the interns with an excellent opportunity to familiarise themselves with the work culture of an international University.

Eligibility

The programme is open to candidates from around the globe. The candidates should minimally have a Bachelors Degree from a recognized institution. Post Graduate students can also apply and will get preference. The intern should have a consistently good academic track-record and should preferably be from a Centre/Institution of excellence. The internship programme will neither be a job nor is any such assurance attached with the appointment in the University.

Duration

The duration of the internship will be for a period of 2 - 6 months.
