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

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.
