NITI Aayog is the apex public policy think tank of the Government of India. It works on economic development, cooperative federalism, and long-term policy across sectors. Interns sit with verticals or divisions and see how notes, research, and coordination actually move inside a central government body.
What kind of internship this is
Short-term on-site internship in New Delhi. Minimum six weeks, maximum six months. No stipend is printed. Certificate only if you complete the approved period and meet attendance. This is not a job and does not guarantee later employment.
Who should apply — and who should skip
Apply if you are a bonafide student of a recognised university in India or abroad and you meet one of these lines from the guidelines:
Undergraduate: completed or appeared in term-end exams of the second year / 4th semester, and scored not less than 85% or equivalent in Class 12.
Postgraduate or research scholar: completed or appeared in term-end exams of the first year / 2nd semester of the PG programme, or pursuing research/PhD, and scored not less than 70% or equivalent in graduation.

Skip if you need a stipend, cannot stay in Delhi for at least six weeks, Class 12 is below 85% on the UG track, you already applied once this financial year, or you miss the 10 November 23:59 cut-off. Wait for the next window if you miss it.
