IKS Internship Program

Overview of the Institutional Internship Program of IKS Division

IKS Internship Program

The IKS Internship program is designed to encourage and enthuse youth to take up deeper study of various topics related to IKS in Bharatiya Bhashas. The focus is to create opportunities for students to contribute and be involved in active research during the summer breaks or anytime during the year. Therefore, the IKS division is starting an institutional internship program. Additionally, the charge of the IKS division is to help in the implementation of the NEP 2020. The standard internship program of the IKS Division was modified to meet these two goals simultaneously. This program has been designed for organizations. In response to the feedback received from the community, the internship duration has been made flexible up to a maximum of 6 months. The selection of the internship process is also delegated to the organizations. This internship program is for organizations to host the interns for IKS projects with clear deliverables. The organizations are expected to submit proposals to the IKS division describing the IKS project, requirements for interns (Specified in terms of person months) and the deliverables from the project. The proposals will be evaluated by a team of experts and the selected projects will be funded for performing the proposed work through interns at their institution. The projects are required to have clear quantifiable deliverables to be considered in the review process. The selection process of the interns along with the requirements for the minimum and preferable qualifications will be completely managed by the awardee organization as per the requirements of the project.
