Research Internship for law students with PRS Legislative [For May 2022], Delhi: Apply by April 20

Posted by

While the research team analyses legislative and policy issues of topical interest, the outreach team tracks the working of the legislatures and legislators, manages citizen engagement, and is PRS’s interface with the MPs and MLAs.

A prospective intern can apply for an internship in either/both departments.

The internship varies from session to non-session time.

  • During a Parliament session, PRS’s work is guided by the issues taken up in Parliament, and interns are expected to work with the analysts on any projects.
  • During non-session periods, the interests of the individual intern are taken into consideration, and he/she is matched with an analyst(s) doing related work.

The successful completion of a PRS internship requires the intern to pursue and complete an internship project. The intern will be assisting analysts in their research and undertaking an internship project.

The internship duration is flexible but is normally between 4 and 8 weeks.
